Concordia University of Edmonton Announces Presidential Leadership Transition

Concordia University of Edmonton (CUE) is preparing for a presidential leadership transition as President and Vice-Chancellor Dr. Tim Loreman prepares to conclude his presidency after ten years in the role and 24 years at CUE.

Dr. Loreman will continue to serve as President and Vice-Chancellor while the Board of Governors undertakes the search for CUE’s next president and will support the transition once a successor is selected. The recruitment and transition process will continue through the coming months and into Spring 2027.

“It has been a true privilege to lead CUE,” said President Loreman. “I am incredibly proud of what we have accomplished together and, most importantly, that we have continued to put our students at the centre of our work. CUE is in a strong position, and I believe this is the right time to pass the baton to its next leader.”

Over the past decade, CUE has experienced significant growth and change, including expanding student services and research activity, completing major capital projects, strengthening governance, navigating shifts in domestic and international enrolment, and continuing to evolve academic programming. Throughout this period, the University has remained focused on its students and their experience at CUE.

“On behalf of the Board of Governors, I want to express our deep appreciation for President Loreman’s remarkable commitment to CUE,” said Board Chair Trish Bronsch. “We will approach the selection of CUE’s next President and Vice-Chancellor thoughtfully and with great care. We are looking for an exceptional leader who can build on the strong foundation and momentum established under his leadership, while bringing their own perspective to CUE’s next chapter.”

The Board has been preparing for the presidential transition and will undertake a rigorous search process. Throughout the transition, CUE’s vision and priorities remain firmly in place, and the important work happening across the University will continue.

Further updates will be shared with the CUE community as the presidential search and transition process progresses.
