Loyalist College has announced a change in leadership on its Board of Governors, with Jennifer Moore taking over as Chair and five new members joining the board.
Moore officially began her term on September 1, succeeding Julie Lange, who held the position for the previous two years.
A member of Loyalist’s Board of Governors since 2021, Moore brings experience in municipal leadership, finance and community service to her new role.
“Serving on the Board of Governors for the past five years has given me a deep appreciation for Loyalist’s commitment to student success and its contributions to the vitality of our region,” said Moore.
She says her focus will be on working with fellow governors and college leadership to support the institution’s long-term sustainability.
At its October 22 meeting, the college also welcomed five new members to its Board of Governors.
The new appointments include Vanessa Brooker, Bex Foreman, Sarah Letersky, Laurel Wilcox and Jennifer Yascheshyn.
College officials say the new members bring a range of professional experiences and perspectives that will help guide Loyalist’s governance and strategic direction.
Loyalist President and CEO Mark Kirkpatrick congratulated Moore on her appointment and welcomed the incoming governors.
“I also want to thank Julie Lange for her thoughtful leadership over the past two years as the college navigated significant changes across the post-secondary sector,” said Kirkpatrick.
He added that the board will continue helping the college advance its strategic priorities, prepare students for careers and respond to changing workforce needs throughout the region.
The leadership changes come as Loyalist continues planning for its future amid broader changes affecting Ontario’s post-secondary education sector.
Moore says she’s looking forward to building on the college’s existing strengths while making decisions that support its long-term future.
The Board of Governors provides oversight and strategic guidance for the college, helping shape its direction and priorities.
