Ian Sutherland has been president and vice-chancellor of Mount Allison University since mid-July, but as of last Friday, he’s been officially installed in the position, in a ceremony at Convocation Hall.
The new president stopped by CHMA studios this week to talk about the university’s upcoming strategic planning process and how declining international student quotas and public funding challenges are impacting the school.
Sutherland says the process to develop a strategic plan will be “ground up, highly consultative and iterative,” and the whole university community will have a chance to weigh in on questions like, “What do you think is the very best of what Mount Allison is today, that we must maintain moving forward?”
