Laurentian University appoints Dr Alain Simard as Dean of Graduate Studies and International

Dr. Alain Simard has been named the Dean of Graduate Studies and International. Dr. Simard, an alumnus of Laurentian University, brings a wealth of experience and a deep commitment to academic excellence and community engagement.

Dr. Simard earned both his Bachelor of Science in Biochemistry and his Master of Science in Chemistry from Laurentian University. He then completed his PhD in Physiology-Endocrinology at the Université Laval and held post-doctoral fellowships in the United States.

Dr. Simard’s understanding of the graduate studies landscape in Ontario, his solution driven approach, collaborative demeanor, and commitment to Laurentian University’s tri-cultural mandate will position him well to successfully lead this new portfolio.

I am pleased to return to Laurentian University as Dean of Graduate Studies and International. I believe that Laurentian offers students an ideal environment for advanced learning and I look forward to working collaboratively with faculty, staff, and students to foster an environment where all feel supported and empowered to achieve their full potential.
