Participate in search for new VP

Dear Members of the Concordia University Community,

We have embarked on the process of selecting a new Vice-President, Research and Graduate Studies. The search will be comprehensive in scope with an integral portion being a process of consultation. We have engaged the services of Laverne Smith & Associates Inc., a leading Canadian firm that has worked extensively with universities across the country and beyond and has enjoyed a great deal of success.

We ask for your assistance in gathering information to inform the process. Please click here to complete a brief form to be returned to Laverne Smith & Associates Inc. and held in confidence.

As this is a very important matter for the university, your input is critical and I would ask you to take the few minutes required to help us in this important undertaking. One recent search by this firm yielded more than 400 responses and the material was extremely valuable to informing all other aspects of the process. All responses will be held in strict confidence by Laverne Smith & Associates Inc. and the inclusion of your name is optional. Please return your copy no later than October 28 – or better still complete it right now!

Thank you for your time and input.

Yours truly,

Frederick Lowy
President and Vice-Chancellor
Chair, Search Committee
