Martin Girash, chair of the University of Windsor’s Board of Governors, announced Tuesday that the board has appointed Alan Wildeman, to a second six-year term as president beginning July 1, 2014.

This appointment follows a review process carried out over the past six months. Dr. Wildeman began his current position at the University of Windsor on July 1, 2008.

Dr. Girash said he was “extremely pleased” to announce the approval of a second presidential term for Wildeman.

“He has led the University of Windsor in achieving major accomplishments in the development and implementation of the strategic plan, a renewed focus on the student experience, community partnerships, and capital transformation of our University,” said Girash. “We are confident that Dr. Wildeman will continue to facilitate accomplishments in these and other areas during his second term.”

Wildeman thanked the members of the Board of Governors for their support.

“The University of Windsor is an exceptional institution within a great community,” he said. “It is an honour for me to continue to be a part of it and to be able to continue to advocate on behalf of our students, faculty and staff as we shape our University’s education, creativity, innovation and community engagement in the years to come.”
