DC celebrates the Presidential Installation of Dr. Elaine Popp

Durham College (DC) has officially installed Dr. Elaine Popp as the sixth president in the school's 57-year history.

The official Installation was led by the Board of Governors and held during the first Convocation ceremony at the Tribute Communities Centre in Oshawa on Monday, June 17. The formal event officially acknowledged Dr. Popp's role and was an opportunity for her to deliver the Oath of Office directly to the community she serves.

Since taking on the role of President on March 1, 2024, Dr. Popp has been guided by her clear vision of DC as a sustainable, future-proof, people-focused, equity-driven and community-connected college that meets the needs of students and anticipates industry expectations.

"I am deeply honoured to be installed as President, and in this role, I carry a profound sense of responsibility and appreciation," said Dr. Popp. "As we build upon Durham College's strong foundation, I am committed to supporting a culture where excellence, innovation and collaboration flourish, as we create a future that honours our past, celebrates our present and embraces our full potential."

Under Dr. Popp's leadership, DC will spearhead the transformation of education and foster an environment where students continue to learn, grow and thrive.
