The position has been advertised. The committee will confidentially review candidates over the summer and recommend a preferred candidate to the Board of Governors.

Under the University of Guelph Act, the Board is responsible for appointing the president.

The University’s ninth president and vice-chancellor is expected to be named in the fall.
