The McMillan Chair began as a result of discussions between Carl McMillan, Carleton University Advancement and Achim Hurrelmann in 2017. With matching funds as part of a Carleton University campaign and thanks to Carl McMillan’s generosity, in January 2019, with the added work of director Jeff Sahadeo, EURUS was granted a position in Russian Politics and Society at the Associate Professor level, designed to attract a well-established expert. The search began in Fall 2019; although disrupted by the covid-19 pandemic, EURUS was delighted to hire Paul Goode, then senior lecturer at the University of Bath.
In July 2019, James Casteel became a full-time faculty member in the Faculty of Public Affairs (50% EURUS, 50% BGInS).

Classes remain online until fall semester 2021 when the University once again opens its doors offering both in-person and online classes as part of its new hybrid system.
