The Board of Regents of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University has announced that Dr. Chris Loomis will serve as president and vice-chancellor of the institution while the search for a new permanent president continues. Dr. Loomis succeeds Dr. Eddy Campbell who is leaving ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University to become the 18th president of the University of New Brunswick. The appointment of Dr. Loomis is effective July 1, 2009.
A pharmacy professor and researcher, Dr. Loomis currently serves as ÐÓ°É´«Ã½’s vice-president (academic) pro tempore. Prior to taking that position he served as ÐÓ°É´«Ã½’s vice-president (research), and immediately before that he was director of the university’s School of Pharmacy.
Dr. Loomis’s promotion creates an impending vacancy in the vice-president (academic) position. To address this issue, the Board of Regents has appointed Dr. Reeta Tremblay as vice-president (academic) for the interim period, effective July 1, 2009. Dr. Tremblay currently serves as dean of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½’s Faculty of Arts.
The timing of both appointments allows for a period of overlap to facilitate the transition.
The search for a new permanent president of ÐÓ°É´«Ã½ University continues on schedule. The Presidential Search Committee has conducted public consultations inside and outside the university to develop a candidate profile, sought nominations from the public and is advertising the position nationally and internationally. More information on the search is available on the Presidential Search web site .
