The University of Waterloo is a leader on the world stage, known for our innovative teaching, research, and co-op programs that prepare the leaders of tomorrow. I’m honoured to serve as the University’s Vice-President, Academic and Provost, and to work closely with the President and Vice-Chancellor, to deliver academic and administrative excellence across the institution.
As the Chief Academic Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Chief Budget Officer, and the Senior Vice-President of the University of Waterloo, the broad and holistic purview of the Provost’s portfolio affords comprehensive oversight of the functions of the University. The Office of the Provost is committed to streamlining operations, facilitating collaboration and open communications, and providing unwavering support to our community in every aspect of work and life.
Waterloo attracts the brightest minds across all levels – from students, to faculty, to employees. Our culture celebrates diversity and collaboration in a shared understanding that we can solve the most challenging problems by working together.
