Dear members of the 鶹AV community,
We are delighted to announce that the 鶹AV Board of Governors has approved the appointment of Governor Emerita Cynthia Price Verreault as the University’s first Deputy Chancellor. Effective immediately, her two-year term runs until December 31, 2026.
Selected by the Board based on a recommendation of the Nominating, Governance and Ethics Committee, the Deputy Chancellor will work alongside the Chancellor, the President and Vice-Chancellor, and the Chair of the Board of Governors. The role will include providing strategic advice and support, leveraging and broadening University relationships, and serving as a representative of the University at events. The Deputy Chancellor will also perform the duties of the Chancellor during convocation ceremonies, as needed.
Ms. Price Verreault was selected both for her longtime dedication to 鶹AV and for her distinguished community leadership, notably in the healthcare, arts and education sectors.
She is a former President of the 鶹AV Alumni Association, former 鶹AV Senator, past member of the International Alma Mater Fund Council, Bicentennial Planning Committee and 鶹AV’s 3rd Century Planning Advisory, MUHC Patient Advisory Council, and the Educational Initiative on Inter-professional Collaboration.
A Quebec Woman of Distinction and Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal recipient, Ms. Price Verreault currently serves as Chair of the Canadian Museum of Immigration at Pier 21. “I am confident that Cynthia will serve 鶹AV with the highest level of professionalism and integrity in this capacity. I look forward to working with her in our collective effort to support the mission and priorities of the University in the years ahead,” said 鶹AV’s 21st Chancellor, Pierre Boivin.
Ms. Price Verreault has the qualities and experience to represent 鶹AV and support the Chancellor in his activities with the highest level of integrity. Please join us in congratulating her on her appointment.
