Loyalist College loses president to Humber

Dr. Ann Marie Vaughan

The search is on for a new president and CEO of Loyalist College as Dr. Ann Marie Vaugh has resigned.

Vaughan advised the board of governors of her resignation as President and CEO of Loyalist College. She has been appointed as the fifth president and CEO of Humber College and will be the first woman to hold this role. She begins her term at Humber Aug. 29.

Pam Jolliffe, Chair of the Loyalist College Board of Governors states Vaughan has had an indelible impact on Loyalist since her appointment in 2016.

“Her entrepreneurial spirit and forward-thinking approach, coupled with her compassionate leadership, has enabled her to position the institution with an exciting new strategic direction, and in solid financial positioning, which will see Loyalist drive economic growth and prosperity in the post-pandemic landscape.”

“Being president and CEO of Loyalist College has been an incredibly enriching, inspiring, and rewarding experience,” stated Vaughan. “I have seen the true power of higher education and its ability to transform both individual student lives and entire communities. Over the last six years, we have accomplished so much together, and I am so proud of the ways that the Loyalist community has continuously shown exemplary dedication and commitment to our students, as well as the surrounding communities we serve. The people in this community are exceptional and I am confident that Loyalist College is in a great position for continued growth and success.”

Upon Dr. Vaughan’s departure in August, an acting president will be appointed while the board of governors conducts its search for a new candidate.
