Dean post abolished

On the recommendation of President Claude Lajeunesse, the Board of Governors has abolished the position of Dean of Graduate Studies as of May 31, 2007, when the term of the incumbent, Elizabeth Saccá, comes to an end.

“When the new Vice-President Research & Graduate Studies, Louise Dandurand, assumes her post on Nov. 1, both Vice-Provost Research Truong Vo-Van and Dean of Graduate Studies Elizabeth Saccá will report to her,” the President said in a statement.

“Dr. Dandurand and I will ensure that an appropriate consultation process is undertaken to decide on the most effective structure for Graduate Studies.” He added that Saccá’s contribution to the development of graduate studies at Concordia would be formally recognized by the university.
