Learn more about each committee:
We have engaged the services of Laverne Smith & Associates Inc., a leading Canadian executive search firm, to assist the work of the committee in its search for our next Vice-President, Academic & Provost; and Vice-President, Research & International.
To ensure leadership continuity, the President-Designate will be involved in both processes and will assume chairing as of July 1, 2026.
We will continue to keep the community updated on the progress of both committees.
