Our friend and colleague, Dr. Patrick Malcolmson, has been appointed Academic Vice-President at our sister institution in Canada, St. Thomas University in Fredericton, New Brunswick.
Patrick is quite familiar with the academic and administrative responsibilities of the position. He had previously served St. Thomas University as Assistant Vice-President and completed a three-year term as Academic Vice-President in 2007.
Patrick has been a member of the STU Political Science Department since 1990, where he also served as Chair. He has been an active scholar and award-winning teacher. He has published numerous books and scholarly papers, and was the recipient of the St. Thomas University Excellence in Teaching Award in 2000. He has also served as Chair of the New Brunswick Human Rights Commission and is currently Chair of the board for the Atlantic Human Rights Centre. He recently completed a sabbatical with us at UST — he taught Federalism and Intergovernmental Relations for us — and is currently teaching introductory and senior level courses in Political Science at STU this term.
Patrick will begin his two-year term as Academic Vice-President on July 1st.
While Patrick is STU’s Academic VP, Jon and Michelle promise not to rattle the cages of the more unhinged, bomb-throwin’ STU faculty that declared an academic jihad against them and their old Professors R-Squared blog back in February…
Good luck and best wishes, Patrick!
