La communication des résultats de recherche avec les décideurs doit absolument faire partie du curriculum.
La pandémie de COVID-19 a mis en lumière les liens entre science, société et politiques. Si l’on veut que nos décideurs continuent de fonder leur processus décisionnel sur la science, on doit fournir aux chercheurs les outils nécessaires pour y contribuer, à commencer par la formation et l...

The outgoing president and CEO of Universities Canada reflects on the past 14 years.
It had been a long day. Flights had been delayed again. I drifted off to sleep mid-air and when I awoke, I could not remember my destination. It took what felt like several minutes to remember I was heading home.
That’s a bit of a metaphor as I prepare to leave Universities Canada after 14 year...

Le président-directeur général sortant d’Universités Canada fait le point sur 14 ans de travail dans le milieu de l’enseignement supérieur.
La journée avait été longue. Mes vols avaient encore été retardés, et je m’étais endormi dans l’avion. Quand je me suis réveillé, je ne me souvenais plus de ma destination. J’ai mis plusieurs minutes – du moins, c’est ce qu’il m’a semblé – à me rappeler que je rentrais che...

“What I’ve found the most rewarding about administration is the opportunity to bring about systemic change.”
Boozhoo. Kwe kwe. Greetings. Bonjour. This is my first column for University Affairs and I’m honoured to have been asked to take it on. It’s a bit intimidating to think about writing a series of columns about being an administrator. I wondered: Where to start? What to write about? Impor...

It’s time to stop and rethink what a university should look like, and how education can remain relevant during times of rapid transition.
I would like to offer another way to look at the challenges we are facing in academia today, drawing on two recent experiences. The first experience centres around a presentation I gave on understanding different paradigms and worldviews. In it, I spoke about how narratives and storytelling often dr...

Two dozen presidents from 14 countries gathered in advance of full G8 summit in Huntsville, Ontario.
An event that seemed to slip under the media radar, the 2010 G8 University Summit was held last week (May 20-22) in Vancouver, attended by 24 university presidents from 14 countries. It was the third such summit, the first being held in Hokkaido, Japan in 2008 and in Turin, Italy last year.

Overeducated, underemployed graduates are not the new normal, as CBC doc claims.
I watched the CBC’s recent documentary, “Generation Jobless” (which aired on Jan. 31 but can be viewed now anytime on the Internet), and wasn’t quite sure what to make of it. I kept asking myself, what exactly was the message the documentary was trying to ...
