All members of the Brock community are encouraged to join the process and submit nominations as the search intensifies for the University’s next Chancellor.

The Advisory Committee on the Chancellor will be accepting nominations until 4:30 pm on April 23.

It takes a special person to be Chancellor at Brock. Since its inception, the office has been held by inspired individuals who have been leaders in disciplines ranging from medicine and architecture to business and politics.

Given the legacy of outgoing Chancellor Ned Goodman and the six Chancellors who came before him, Brock seeks a successor who will maintain the high standards associated with the role.

Beyond the tall task of embodying the ideals and aspirations of an entire University, the Chancellor must also have a personal stature and profile that can further the reputation of the University locally, nationally and around the world.

An active leader dedicated to moving the University forward, the Chancellor must have a commitment to advancing student welfare, higher education and research. He or she must also be dedicated to working toward the improvement of the University’s infrastructure and resource base.

The eighth Brock Chancellor will also preside over all convocations, serve as an ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees and Senate and liaise with internal and external stakeholders. Beyond the high profile events and interactions, the Chancellor must also seek to engage with and act as a role model for the student body.

Nominations are done in confidence, and nominators are encouraged not to alert those they have put forth, as the committee expects a large number of submissions.

Please complete the nomination form and email it to Margaret Thompson by 4:30 pm on Thursday, April 23.
