Board of Governors Chair’s Report 2023/2024
Greg Farrell, Former Chair, Carleton University Board of Governors
I am delighted to present the annual report for the 2023/2024 academic year, marking a period of significant milestones, challenges, and strategic advancements for Carleton University.
A highlight of our year was the successful conclusion of our presidential search. As the Chair of the Board of Governors, I was thrilled to announce in April that Dr. Wisdom Tettey has been appointed as Carleton University’s 17th President and Vice-Chancellor, bringing with him a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to academic excellence, community engagement and proven experience in implementing strategic and operational plans at major Canadian universities.
Throughout this past year, the Board has remained steadfast in its dedication to upholding our institution’s values while fostering a dynamic academic environment for our students, faculty, and staff. Despite the prevailing global challenges, Carleton has demonstrated remarkable resilience and adaptability, continuing to thrive amidst adversity.
As we look ahead, the Board remains committed to advancing Carleton’s mission and strategic priorities amid the evolving higher education landscape. We are dedicated to fostering a culture of excellence, innovation, and inclusivity that empowers all members of our community to thrive and succeed.
Sincerely,
Greg Farrell, FCPA, FCA
Chair, Carleton University Board of Governors
