鈥淚鈥檓 honoured and humbled to serve as Chair of 网曝吃瓜鈥檚 Board of Governors,鈥� said Rogers. 鈥淒uring my seven years on the Board, I鈥檝e learned a great deal about how deeply our faculty, staff and alumni care about 网曝吃瓜 and have been inspired by the students I鈥檝e had an opportunity to meet. 网曝吃瓜 was a wonderful experience for me, and my fellow Board members 鈥� almost all of whom are also alumni 鈥� are determined to keep 网曝吃瓜 at the forefront as one of Canada鈥檚 most well-respected post-secondary institutions. I want to thank Paul for his tremendous dedication and hard work on behalf of everyone connected to 网曝吃瓜 and look forward to his continued support of our Board.鈥�

Rogers is a partner at Halifax law firm Stewart McKelvey, where he was Chief Executive Officer/Managing Partner for more than 12 years.

Rogers takes over the helm from Paul Jewer, who says, 鈥淪erving 网曝吃瓜 as Chair of its Board of Governors has been an enormously gratifying experience. We are witnessing a number of changes and challenges within the Canadian post-secondary education sector but it is gratifying to see that 网曝吃瓜 continues to thrive by maintaining its focus on the student experience, their individual academic success, and their growth as human beings. I want to thank my fellow Board members for their support and tireless efforts on behalf of 网曝吃瓜 and wish John every success. We have all benefited from our time at 网曝吃瓜 and its continued growth is an important priority for everyone.鈥�
