They will be an excellent communicator, an inspiring and transparent leader, and a person of unassailable integrity and character.

With campuses in Guelph, Ridgetown, and Toronto (University of Guelph-Humber in partnership with Humber Polytechnic), Guelph is home to seven colleges, more than 31,000 students, including over 3,000 graduate students, and 4,000 full-time faculty and staff members.
The University of Guelph has achieved prominence in Canada and around the world for its commitment to developing exceptional thinkers and engaged citizens. The University plays an integral role in the educational, business, and cultural life of the province of Ontario, through the impact of its teaching, research, and community service, and through its special mandate to serve the Province in support of the agri-food sector and veterinary medicine. Dedicated to improving life in the areas of food, water, environment, animal and human health, community, commerce, culture, and learning, the University of Guelph community shares a profound sense of social responsibility, an obligation to address local and global issues, and sustainability.
At the University of Guelph, fostering a culture of inclusion is an institutional imperative. The University invites and encourages applications from all qualified individuals, including from groups that are traditionally underrepresented in employment, who may contribute to further diversification of the institution. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply; however, Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. In accordance with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act , accommodation will be provided to individuals with disabilities throughout the recruitment process.
Consideration of candidates will begin in early April 2025, with the expectation that the new President will take office in summer 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.
