New Director of Athletics

It is my pleasure to announce that Pierre Arsenault will be joining Mount Allison as Director of Athletics and Recreation on July 27, 2009.

Pierre brings a wealth of sports administration experience to this role, most recently as Executive Director of the New Brunswick Golf Association. Prior to this, Pierre worked with Hockey Canada’s Atlantic Centre of Excellence, the Saskatchewan Hockey Association, and with the University of Ottawa’s Gee-Gees Varsity Hockey Team.

He holds a Bachelor of Physical Education (concentration in sports administration) from the University of New Brunswick and a Master’s degree in sport administration from the University of Ottawa. We engaged in a national search to fill the position of Athletics & Recreation Director.

The committee was impressed by Pierre’s qualifications, experience, and potential for a very positive fit with the Mount Allison community. Further, given the values and characteristics highlighted by the many experts consulted throughout the process and the match with these to Pierre, the committee unanimously agreed that he would position us strongly for the future development of this important unit within the Mount Allison community.

Please join me in welcoming Pierre to the ‘Mountie’ team.

Sincerely,
Ron Byrne
Vice-President, International and Student Affairs
