SHERIDAN COLLEGE
Dr. Janet Morrison Installed as Sheridan's Eighth President and Vice Chancellor

Dr. Janet Morrison was formally installed as Sheridan's eighth President and Vice Chancellor at a dynamic and inclusive event held at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga on Tuesday, October 16. 

The event kicked off with a performance by the Grammy-nominated Bear Creek Singers, an Ojibwe drum group from Sault Ste. Marie.  In attendance were friends and family, a diverse group of international students from over 15 countries  wearing stoles bearing the colours of their national flags, employees and community members, and representatives from sister institutions, including Dr. Chris Evans, Executive Lead, Advanced Academic Planning, Ryerson University; Dr. Ulli Krull, Vice President and Principal, University of Toronto - Mississauga; and the President and CEO's of Georgian College and Loyalist College, Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes and Dr. Ann Marie Vaughan, respectively.

In her Installation Address, Dr. Morrison emphasized the vital role that postsecondary education plays in shaping individuals and transforming lives, and pointed to her own experience as evidence.  "I invested eleven years as a learner in postsecondary institutions in Canada and the United States and earned four degrees.  The outcomes I value most, however, are incalculable:  University gave me a voice; it taught me to think; and it compelled me to engage.  It sounds simplistic, but the process of earning my academic credentials inspired who I am, not what I do."
