Professor Berkeley Fleming, Dean of Social Sciences and sociology professor, has been appointed as interim Vice-President, Academic and Research at Mount Allison for a one-year term. His appointment will begin on July 1, 2011, replacing current Vice-President Stephen McClatchie who has accepted the position of Principal at Huron University College of the University of Western Ontario.
Berkeley Fleming brings a wealth of experience and insight to this role, having worked at Mount Allison for 33 years. He has served as Dean of Social Sciences, department head of sociology, secretary of University Senate, and member of the Board of Regents. He has also held key and consequential positions on numerous collegial committees and many local, provincial, and national organizations. His leadership will help maintain the momentum that has been established in the Provost and Vice-President, Academic and Research’s portfolio under Stephen McClatchie.
A national search for a new Provost and Vice-President, Academic and Research will begin this year. An internal search for a new Dean of Social Sciences will commence shortly. Updates on both search processes will be shared with the University community regularly.
