MEDIA RELEASE
Dr. Ramona Lumpkin to become Mount Saint Vincent University President
April 27, 2010, Halifax, NS - Mount Saint Vincent University’s Board of Governors is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Ramona Lumpkin as 12th President and Vice-Chancellor of the Mount effective October 1, 2010.
Dr. Ramona Lumpkin is a highly respected academic and administrative leader with over 25 years in the educational field. Since 2001 she has been the Principal of Huron University College, an undergraduate liberal arts institution affiliated with the University of Western Ontario, where she is the first woman leader in the College's 147-year history. She is responsible for setting strategic direction, internal and external constituent relations, and fundraising.
“We are pleased to welcome Dr. Lumpkin to the Mount. She has a solid record of building positive relationships with students, faculty, staff and supporters, including alumnae. We are confident she will continue to advance the Mount as a dynamic and innovative institution,” said Catherine Woodman, Chair of the Mount’s Board of Governors. “Dr. Lumpkin brings leadership experience from roles at Huron and Royal Roads University and her passion for education, lifelong learning and community service will be a perfect fit for the Mount community.”
“Mount Saint Vincent University has a reputation for academic excellence and a commitment to the advancement of women and these are two of my passions,” said Dr. Lumpkin. “I am delighted to be moving to Nova Scotia and becoming part of the Mount community.”
Prior to Huron University College, Dr. Lumpkin served as Vice President Academic and Provost of Royal Roads University and during her tenure over 20 new degree and certificate programs were introduced and enrolment was significantly increased.
Dr. Lumpkin joined Royal Roads from University of Windsor, where she was Dean of Continuing Education, Director of the Division for Instructional Development, and an Associate Professor in the School of Dramatic Arts. She holds a PhD in English Literature from the University of Kentucky and is a former Fulbright Scholar to England.
Throughout her career, Dr. Lumpkin has been actively engaged in women’s studies, in advocacy on behalf of women’s issue, and in promoting the role of women in higher education.
Active in community life, she has been a volunteer with various not-for-profit organizations, most recently Big Sisters of London, Ontario.
Dr. Lumpkin was inducted as an Honorary Life Member of both the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education, and the Ontario Council of Universities for Lifelong Learning, in recognition of her commitment to lifelong education.
Dr. Lumpkin will work closely with Dr. McDonough, Interim President and Vice-Chancellor until September 30th, the Mount’s leadership team and the Board of Governors to ensure an effective and smooth transition of responsibilities.
“Exciting things are happening at the Mount and Dr. Lumpkin’s leadership will ensure the university continues to prepare thoughtful and engaged students. The Mount community will be well served by her energy, passion and skills,” said Alexa McDonough, Interim President and Vice-Chancellor. “I look forward to working with Dr. Lumpkin in the coming months.”
“On behalf of the Board and members of the Mount community, I want to acknowledge Alexa McDonough for her leadership, for continuing to advance the university’s strategic plan, and for underscoring the Mount’s commitment to social justice,” said Ms. Woodman. “Dr. McDonough, an Honorary Doctorate from the Mount, will continue to be advocate for the Mount and role model for our students and all members of the Mount community.”

Statement of Support for Chris Crowell
I am east coast connected (President, Class of '90, MSVU) and East Coast Connected and I would like to take this opportunity to voice my support for Chris Crowell's nomination in Halifax.
The only time that I have met Chris was while he was networking at a Rotman event, working the same circles as David Peterson and an auspicious collection of Canadians who care about our country's future. He mentioned East Coast Connected.
A while back I launched a blog designed to help connect the over 700 Mount Saint Vincent University graduates in the Toronto area and I have written my share about social media, so ECC immediately interested me. I looked it up, joined and the success of this initiative continually impresses me. Score two for Chris ...
At the time, Chris was about to start as the Director of Investments at Social Capital Partners. In my view (and I am not alone), social capital is key to a new economic model that is emerging and Chris' commitment to this kind of economy can not be questioned. Score two more Chris ...
Above all, I think Chris is part of the solution. I think he is committed to an innovation led economy. A lack of innovation and productivity is not a East Coast problem, it is a Canadian problem that in my view requires a cultural shift.
I am not a personal or business connection of Chris'. I hope this post is received with the conviction that it written.
Sincerely,
Michael Cayley
