Message from the president: Concordia’s Board of Governors appoints Graham Carr as provost

I’d like to thank Graham for going the extra mile these past few months. Over the years, he’s made tremendous contributions in strengthening and expanding our research program, and attracting top-notch researchers and graduate students. As provost, he will continue to be a collaborative and innovative leader.

I’d like to thank the members of the search committee for their hard work and due diligence in selecting Graham for this critical key role. They are Andreas Athienitis, Anne-Marie Croteau, David Douglas, Norman Hébert, Jr., Cody Hyndman, Geoffrey Little, David Walsh, Anne Whitelaw, Terry Wilkings and Andie Zeliger. 

Lynn is an associate professor in the Faculty of Fine Arts and Concordia Research Chair in Interactive Design and Games Innovation. Ferhat, a professor in the Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science and, is the NSERC/Ericsson Senior Industrial Research Chair in Model Based Software Management. I’d also like to thank Lynn and Ferhat for accepting these new responsibilities.

Please join me in congratulating Graham on his appointment as provost.

Alan Shepard
President
