At Wednesday’s Board of Governors meeting, Dr. Jan Lindsay announced her intention to retire as President of North Island College, effective May 31, 2013.
In announcing her decision, Lindsay stated, “While this decision has been prompted by my desire to spend time with our rapidly growing cadre of grandchildren, two born in the past 16 months and a third due October 20th, I have mixed emotions because I very much enjoy working with our students and all the extremely talented individuals at North Island College and serving on the College Board of Governors.
“At the same time, I feel that in the four academic years I will have been at the college I will have accomplished all of my goals regarding enrollment growth, program diversification, expanded community, industry and post-secondary education partnerships, internationalization and applied research development that I held when I first came to the college.”
In her statement to college staff Lindsay said, “North Island College has changed quite dramatically over the past three years and we can be very proud of all that we have achieved together.
“I look forward to continuing to work with you over the next eight months to accomplish the many things included in our plans for 2012/13 academic year.”
Lindsay oversaw a number of important initiatives during her tenure as President.
Bruce Calder, Chair of the Board of Governors, announced that the Board would begin the process of recruiting a new President immediately.
