Vice-President (Academic) Doug Owram today announced the appointment of Fran Trehearne as the associate vice-president (academic administration) effective January 1998.

Fran Trehearne will succeed Brian McDonald in the position upon McDonald's retirement after 36.5 years at the University of Alberta. "Like so many around campus, we have all appreciated the dedication, care, creativity and the history with which Brian McDonald has approached the job;" says Owram, "However, we must now allow Brian to enjoy his well-earned retirement."
