University College of the North says President and Vice-Chancellor Doug Lauvstad will remain in the role for a while longer.
The institute announced Lauvstad’s contract has been extended for another five years until July 31st, 2028.
Governing council chair Becky Cianflone says UCN has experienced significant growth during his first five years in the role, citing increases in enrolment rates and revenue for its community and industry training programming.
She adds the school’s department of Reconciliation, Research, and Academic Innovation was created while under his leadership, which holds Indigenous content and pedagogy as fundamental that support teaching, learning, and scholarship.
It also supports faculty research, which has helped boost UCN’s research revenue by nearly 18 hundred per cent.
