Board of Governors

Welcome from the Chair

Beth Creary, Carleton Board of Governors Chair

Welcome to the official webpage of the Carleton University Board of Governors.

I am honoured to serve as your Board Chair, working alongside a compassionate and connected community of scholars, administrators, and supporters who are dedicated to a shared vision for purposeful change and who have the intelligence and drive to make it happen.

Together, we will celebrate our achievements, confront challenges, and explore opportunities for growth and excellence. As we embark on this journey, I am eager to engage, to listen, to learn, and to lead with integrity as we advance our vision to leverage the power of higher education as a force for good.

Thank you for your commitment to Carleton University and for joining us in our collective pursuit of academic excellence, inclusivity and diversity, innovation and community engagement.

As Chair, I am committed to collaborating closely with the Carleton community in pursuit of our strategic directions to not only Share, Serve, and Strive, but to be a smart, caring community that inspires and empowers change leaders to positively impact our world.

Feel free to connect with me by email at chairoftheboard@carleton.ca.

Sincerely,

Beth Creary
