Leadership and governance

Effective governance — as enacted through the Board, through Senate, and through university administration — is critical for Dalhousie to advance our mission and our shared priorities.  

Our leadership

Dalhousie’s president and vice-chancellor (president) is the chief executive officer, responsible to the Board of Governors and to the Senate for the supervision of Dalhousie University’s administrative and academic work. The president works with the senior administration team to provide leadership to the university.
