The University of Windsor welcomes two seasoned professionals to leadership roles, each bringing decades of experience to help shape the institution’s future.

Kelly Gosselin stepped into the director of advancement and alumni position on Dec. 2, 2024. With more than 22 years of experience in alumni engagement, fundraising, and leadership roles in higher education and the non-profit sector, she brings a proven track record of fostering relationships and driving initiatives that make a lasting impact.

Most recently, as acting director of advancement and alumni, Gosselin helped secure support for scholarships, capital projects, and programs designed to enhance the student experience. Her career includes leadership roles at St. Clair College, Transition to Betterness, and the Odette School of Business, where she led successful capital campaigns, secured major gifts, and connected with high-net-worth donors.

Gosselin said her focus aligns closely with the university’s Aspire for Tomorrow plan, and she’s ready to play a vital role in strengthening alumni relationships and driving philanthropy to support the university’s goals.

“As an alumna and long-time member of the University of Windsor community, I am excited to strengthen the connections between our alumni, donors, stakeholders, and the university,” Gosselin said.

“Together, we can cultivate a culture of giving that empowers future generations, supports transformative opportunities, and drives meaningful change. Our collective impact will shape the future of this institution and ensure that the Windsor experience continues to inspire and enrich lives."

Cory Mitic joins as director of labour relations, also bringing more than 22 years of experience to the human resources team. Mitic’s background spans union and employer perspectives, giving him a well-rounded and collaborative approach to navigating labour relations.

“I am excited to bring some new ideas and solutions to the table and as we prepare for negotiations, I look forward to working with our union leadership,” Mitic said.

As the national director of employee and labour relations for the Salvation Army, he led national negotiations and developed strategic frameworks to guide workplace relations. In his previous role as director of labour relations for the Ontario Ministry of Education, Mitic oversaw bargaining efforts for more than 200,000 employees across nine bargaining units.

“In dealing with labour/people issues, often we have to deliver unpleasant news. Keeping the people part front of mind is our responsibility as human resource practitioners,” he noted.

Known for his collaborative approach and strategic vision, Mitic looks forward to fostering strong relationships across campus. When he’s not working, he enjoys cooking, the arts, listening to music, and spending time with his dog, Milo.
