July 9, 2013 - Update to the campus and external community

Over the last weeks, the Board of Governors and its Executive Committee have undertaken preliminary planning with respect to recruitment of Trent's 8th President and Vice-Chancellor.  The overarching process for the Presidential Search builds on the foundation of:

• the Board’s Special Resolution (SR) III.2, which provides for broad representation from the Board and Senate on the Presidential Search Committee, and ensures a balance of participation by faculty, students, staff, and the external community; and
• the Presidential Mandate for 2014-2019 that was developed through extensive consultation earlier this year and approved by the Board in March 2013.

Currently, the Executive Committee is in the final stages of constituting the 12-member Presidential Search Committee as set out in SR III.2. The Search Committee’s work will begin in earnest before the end of July, with one of its first tasks being to retain the services of an executive search consultant to help the Committee source a pool of well-qualified candidates. The University Secretariat will announce the members of the Search Committee once all of its members have confirmed their participation.

This website has been established to foster systematic communications with the Trent community.  Please watch for regular updates from the Presidential Search Committee, and please direct any questions to:
