Colleges and Institutes Canada (CICan) is pleased to welcome Carolyn Campbell, President and CEO of NorQuest College, as Chair of its Board of Directors.

A proud Albertan, Carolyn brings extensive cross-sectoral leadership and governance experience and a deep understanding of Canada’s college and institute sector. A member of CICan’s Board since 2023 and Vice-Chair since 2024, she has helped shape the association’s strategic direction and Roadmap to 2030.

“Colleges and institutes are deeply rooted in the communities they serve, creating opportunities for learners and helping communities grow and thrive,” said Carolyn Campbell. “I’m proud to take on this role and help strengthen that impact across Canada.”

She takes on the role at a pivotal time for Canada and the sector. As the country advances major ambitions in areas such as infrastructure, housing, defence, and energy, colleges and institutes are helping build the skilled workforce and applied innovation capacity needed to turn those national ambitions into local results.

“Carolyn brings strategic perspective, collaborative leadership, creativity and a strong commitment to our sector,” said Pari Johnston, President and CEO of CICan. “Together with Marie-Chantale and our Board, I look forward to delivering on the promise of our Roadmap to 2030 and ensuring colleges and institutes are at the heart of Canada’s future, training the workforce our country needs and helping deliver on the national missions that will shape our country’s future in the decades ahead.”
