Jim Leech, MBA, has had his term as chancellor of Queen’s University extended for an additional year, to the end of June 2021. Queen’s University Council members voted to extend the appointment in April in order to ensure continuity for the incoming university principal, Patrick Deane, who takes over from the current principal, Daniel Woolf, on July 1. The chancellor is the university’s highest officer and serves as ceremonial head of the school as well as chairperson of the university council and ex-officio member of the Board of Trustees and its committees. Jim has served as chancellor since 2014.
