During my time as Provost and Vice-President (Academic) and Dean of the Sprott School of Business I learned much about what makes our smart, caring community unique in Canada, and I look forward to sharing and continuing to build a remarkable story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As President and Vice-Chancellor, my responsibility is to ensure that Carleton continues to challenge what\u2019s possible in teaching, learning and research, and provide the type of student experience we are renowned for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Four years ago, we launched our Strategic Integrated Plan, an ambitious vision for the future that builds on Carleton\u2019s strengths and student-centric, community-engaged values. In a very short time, we have made remarkable progress on its three strategic directions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Share Knowledge, Shape the Future<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Serve Ottawa, Serve the World<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Strive for Wellness, Strive for Sustainability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Together we have soared, achieving a marked increase in research funding and student success, an elevated national profile and reputation, a refreshed campus master plan, and new and refreshed facilities. Carleton has distinguished itself with considerable progress in sustainability, community engagement, Indigenous initiatives, as well as equity, diversity, and inclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon\u2019s exceptional leadership and service over the past five years has left a legacy of excellence for our future success and we wish him all the best in his new role as President and Vice-Chancellor at UBC. It is with great humility that I assume this interim role and I promise that working with our team, we will preserve and build on that legacy as we prepare for the arrival of a new President and Vice-Chancellor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A full search for Carleton\u2019s 17th President and Vice-Chancellor has commenced \u2013 you can find more information by visiting the dedicated search webpage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jerry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jerry Tomberlin<br>\nInterim President and Vice-Chancellor<br>\nOffice of the President<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear members of the Carleton community, I would like to thank Carleton Board Chair Greg Farrell and the Board of Governors for entrusting me with leading the university as Interim President and Vice-Chancellor.
