As a leading Canadian STEM university with strengths in energy, AI, engineering, cybersecurity and health sciences, we’re shaping the new frontier of post-secondary education and are looking for unique perspectives to join our mission.

The Board of Governors is a competency-based Board whose composition reflects the knowledge, skills and abilities necessary to govern effectively and meet the vision, mission and strategic goals of the University.

External Governors bring an independent perspective, as well as a combination of individual skills, expertise, and experience in the governance of other organizations, which contribute to the effective governance and function of the Board and its committees. The objectivity and impartiality brought by External Governors as a result of their independence from the University are a crucial element of good governance. 

Application for appointment to the board

The Board of Governors always welcomes applications for future external Board member vacancies. The Board looks for volunteers with the values, knowledge, and competencies necessary to govern effectively and to promote the vision, mission and strategic goals of Ontario Tech University.
