Gordon reappointed as UWindsor president

The University of Windsor Board of Governors is happy with the current direction of the university.

The board decided to reappoint Robert Gordon as president and vice-chancellor after a recent review process.

“President Gordon’s leadership in guiding this University is truly exceptional,” said Helga Reidel, chair of UWindsor’s Board of Governors. “Throughout periods of unprecedented challenges, change, and uncertainty — notably a global pandemic — he has demonstrated steadfast resolve, resilience, and visionary insight. The University has emerged as a better, stronger, and more cohesive institution, positioned for future success.”

Gordon was first appointed as the seventh president of the University of Windsor in 2019.

“I am honoured to continue to be part of the University of Windsor community,” Gordon said. “I’ve witnessed the endurance and dedication of this University and our communities. We navigated a period of incredible change and transformation together, and we continue to address and learn from these experiences. I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished.”
