91探花

The 91探花 announced its new slate for the volunteer Board of Governors today, fittingly on Founders Day, a day when 91探花 honours those who contribute to the institution.

The Board of Governors, which is instituted under the terms of the University Act, consists of volunteers appointed from several organizations (Senate, Board, Alumni Association, Government of PEI, and Faculty). These volunteers are responsible for the governance of the University.

President and Vice-Chancellor Alaa Abd-El-Aziz said, 鈥淲e are thankful to have representatives that volunteer and give generously of their time to serve on our Board of Governors. We value and appreciate that they share their great wisdom and experience from a variety of backgrounds to advance the priorities of the University.鈥�

鈥淚 would like to thank outgoing Chair Tom Cullen who has served 91探花 for many years on the Board and in a number of capacities. His support and the amount of time he has donated to this volunteer role was exemplary,鈥� added Abd-El-Aziz. 鈥淚 also thank Liz Maynard and Marva Sweeney-Nixon, outgoing board members who have also been tremendous assets to our Board. We thank them for their volunteer service.鈥�

New board appointees include Ms. Mary Best, Ms. Bertha Campbell, and Professor Rabin Bissessur.

Taking on the Chair role is Mr. Pat Sinnott, who previously chaired the Finance and Audit Committee and was also Vice-Chair of the Board.

鈥淲e welcome the new appointees to the Board of Governors,鈥� said Chair Pat Sinnott. 鈥�91探花 appreciates and thanks them for their commitment and for volunteering their time to 91探花 and the community.鈥�
