Lakehead University is seeking a visionary and collaborative leader to serve as the next Principal, Orillia Campus.

Celebrated as one of Canada's leading academic institutions, Lakehead University offers more than 85 academic programs that are grouped within 9 Faculties from a comprehensive selection of academic areas of study. Lakehead is an innovative comprehensive university that provides an education that is about how to think, not what to think. Closely tied to that enterprising spirit is a deep connection to the place. Lakehead is committed to making a difference in the communities it serves, developing a broader understanding of societal issues, and inspiring action for thoughtful, positive change. Lakehead University is also committed to the success of our Indigenous learners and to our relationships with First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Peoples based on the principles of mutual trust, respect, reciprocity, and collaboration in the spirit of reconciliation. Lakehead University acknowledges the history that many nations hold in the areas around its two campuses.

The Lakehead Orillia campus is a growing, vibrant, close-knit community located in the heart of the City of Orillia offering more than 17 undergraduate and graduate degree programs. At Lakehead Orillia, the goal is to encourage students to think critically while taking risks as they look towards a future in the working world.

The Role

The Principal will also be a champion of Lakehead’s values and plays a key role in community outreach to local government, community groups, private sector, and Indigenous communities to promote the many programs, research activities, and services offered by the University at the Orillia Campus and in Simcoe County, and advancing local partnerships, including the continued evolution of the Lakehead-Georgian partnership.

The position involves, both at a public level as well as within the University community, promoting and leading the interests of the Orillia campus at Executive Team meetings, campus related events and activities, and as part of the budget development processes. The Principal is responsible for encouraging and fostering ongoing investment, community partnerships, and fundraising initiatives for the University, and will participate in the President’s Advisory Council on Economic Development (Simcoe County) to support the University’s role in fostering economic development and innovation in Simcoe County.
