EDMONTON, ALBERTA--(Marketwired - Aug. 22, 2016) - The Board of Governors met on Friday to make the final candidate selection, following an in- depth presidential search. Having spent the past few months deliberating, evaluating and meeting with a number of highly qualified candidates, the Board of Governors pared down the selection to two candidates, who were invited to make public presentations regarding their vision for Concordia University of Edmonton, during the week of August 8, 2016.
Current President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Gerald S. Krispin, will be concluding his second five-year term in the role and announced his retirement earlier this year.

Students come from all over Canada to attend this small, intimate university community, and with international partners in over 40 countries around the world, it is viewed as a global educational destination as well.
