In accordance with the terms of Article 41 of the Collective Agreement between Queen’s University Faculty Association and Queen’s University at Kingston, an abridged Selection Committee has been struck to assist the provost and vice-principal (Academic) in the selection of the next head.

Stephanie Dickey, Professor
Una D’Elia, Professor

The committee will be chaired by Nick Mosey, Associate Dean, Faculty of Arts and Science.
