Rev. Jennifer Boyes-Garbin has accepted the position of principal of Canterbury College, effective May 6.

Dr. Boyes-Garbin recently retired from the position of national pastor and regional minister for Canada with the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ. She comes to Canterbury with a wealth of experience, a strong background in leading community engagement, and a passion for higher education.

Interim principal Bruce Tucker will stay on until the end of May to assist with the transition. The Board of Directors and staff express gratitude for his time and dedication over the last nine months and look forward to the exciting things that lie ahead with Boyes-Garbin’s acceptance of this role.

A reception to welcome Boyes-Garbin and introduce her to members of the Deanery of Essex and the broader University of Windsor community is being planned for September when the new school year begins. Details will be provided at a later date.
