VP-Academic leaving UWinnipeg

Dr. John Corlett, Vice President (Academic) and Provost, will be leaving The University of Winnipeg for Grant MacEwan University in Edmonton, where he has accepted the position of VP-Academic and Provost. 

Dr. Corlett joined The University of Winnipeg in September 2010, after serving as Dean of the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences at Brock University, where he was also a Professor of Physical Education and Kinesiology. Over the last two years, the University benefitted from Dr. Corlett’'s academic and administrative leadership experience. His contributions have helped position UWinnipeg for continued success now and in the future. 

"On behalf of the entire campus community, I’d like to thank Dr. Corlett for his dedicated service to The University of Winnipeg and we wish him all the best in his new role at Grant MacEwan as VP-Academic and Provost," said Dr. LLoyd Axworthy, President and Vice-Chancellor of UWinnipeg.

Dr. Corlett will commence at Grant MacEwan on March 1, 2013 and will begin an administrative leave from the University of Winnipeg on November 19, 2012. 

A transition plan is currently being developed and will be announced shortly.
