experience in senior management positions, Ms. Casimiro&#8217;s experience includes Executive Director of the Academic Health Council at the University of Ottawa, Director of<br \/>\nEducation at the Institut du Savoir Montfort, and researcher at the Institut de recherche of Montfort Hospital. She has been Vice-President, Academic and Student Success at Coll\u00e8ge La Cit\u00e9 since 2016, where she led with success several major strategic projects. Born in Ottawa, detaining a PhD in Education from the University of Ottawa, and a proud FrancoOntarian, Ms. Casimiro is passionate about education and supporting Canada&#8217;s French-speaking minority language<br \/>\ncommunities; she is also playing a leadership role within the Ontario college system. Her doctoral training in adult education and her numerous publications and public communications make her a popularizer of complex subjects, bringing people together towards a common vision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The selection committee was very impressed by Ms. Casimiro&#8217;s candidacy,&#8221; declared Lise Cloutier, Chair of La Cit\u00e9&#8217;s Board of Governors. &#8220;We are confident that we have chosen the right leader to take over Coll\u00e8ge La Cit\u00e9. I am convinced<br \/>\nthat Lynn has all the skills needed to lead the College to new heights, building on the work accomplished by her predecessor, Lise Bourgeois.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As a result of an exhaustive six-month recruiting process, the Board of Governors approved unanimously Ms. Casimiro\u2019s appointment during a special Board meeting on April 12th, 2024.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It is with great enthusiasm that I have accepted the position of President and CEO of Coll\u00e8ge La Cit\u00e9,&#8221; mentioned Lynn Casimiro. I am eager to put all my expertise and passion to work to ensure the continued success of the student community, serve the Franco-Ontarian community and meet the needs of employers. In my view, La Cit\u00e9 has always been a pillar of the Franco-Ontarian community and of the francophone Canadian College system. I&#8217;m thrilled to be able to continue working at La Cit\u00e9 with the amazing college team to carry out the mission and major orientations defined by the Board of Governors.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Ms. Casimiro will begin her term on July 1st, 2024, following the retirement of Ms. Lise Bourgeois. &#8220;On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would also like to extend my gratitude to Lise Bourgeois for her leadership and exceptional work over the past 14 years. I wish her all the best in this new phase of her life,&#8221; added Lise Cloutier.<\/p>\n<p><em>As the largest French-language College of Applied Arts and Technology in Ontario and outside of Quebec, La Cit\u00e9 puts the success of its students first and foremost, offering them more than 140 programs in facilities with leading-edge technology and a learning environment focused on practical, modern, forward-looking experiential learning practices. In addition to having its main campus in Ottawa, La Cit\u00e9 also has a Skilled Trades Institute in Orl\u00e9ans, a satellite campus in Toronto, in Hawkesbury and in Ottawa West.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>For information:<\/strong><br \/>\nPascale Montminy<br \/>\nDirector, Communications, Public and Government Relations<br \/>\n613 316-1377<br \/>\n&#112;&#x6d;&#x6f;n&#116;&#x6d;&#64;&#108;&#x61;c&#105;&#x74;e&#99;&#x2e;&#x6f;&#110;&#x2e;&#x63;a<br \/>\nwww.collegelacite.ca<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;full_width_background&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_tablet=&#8221;default&#8221; column_direction_phone=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_color=&#8221;#ee4121&#8243; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; top_padding=&#8221;80&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;80&#8243; text_color=&#8221;light&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; row_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; row_border_radius_applies=&#8221;bg&#8221; overflow=&#8221;visible&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_tablet=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_phone=&#8221;inherit&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; column_element_direction_desktop=&#8221;default&#8221; column_element_spacing=&#8221;default&#8221; centered_text=&#8221;true&#8221; desktop_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_backdrop_filter=&#8221;none&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_position=&#8221;default&#8221; gradient_direction=&#8221;left_to_right&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; animation_type=&#8221;default&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221; border_type=&#8221;simple&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1655903290651{padding-bottom: 25px !important;}&#8221;]\n<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element vc_custom_1655903290651\">\n<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Back to press releases<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][nectar_btn size=&#8221;jumbo&#8221; button_style=&#8221;see-through&#8221; button_color_2=&#8221;Accent-Color&#8221; color_override=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; icon_family=&#8221;none&#8221; text=&#8221;Press Releases&#8221; url=&#8221;https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/releases&#8221; margin_top=&#8221;15px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Board of Governors is pleased to announce the appointment of Lynn Casimiro as President<br \/>\nand Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of College La Cit\u00e9.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1375,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[58],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-1615","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-education-en"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1615","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1615"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1615\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1627,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1615\/revisions\/1627"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1375"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1615"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1615"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/presse.refmedia.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1615"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
