Selkirk College’s New President<br />
President Maggie Matear has been at the helm of the college<br />
since late-May. Settling in and getting familiar with her new role<br />
over the past three months, Matear is looking forward to welcoming<br />
students and staff back to a learning environment filled with<br />
promise. “There’s something about the energy that a building full<br />
of students brings,” says Matear. “The people who like to be in the<br />
post-secondary sector feed off that energy, so we’re all looking forward<br />
to <strong>Sept</strong>ember. There is an excitement around starting a new<br />
chapter of learning and achievement for students and staff alike.”<br />
Matear moved into the college’s top leadership position after<br />
an extensive nation-wide search to replace outgoing president<br />
Angus Graeme. She began her post-secondary career 30 years<br />
ago as a community adult educator, teaching and coordinating<br />
training programs in remote Indigenous communities. Since that<br />
time, Matear has worked primarily in rural communities in an<br />
impressive array of positions that include management consulting,<br />
strategic planning, stakeholder engagement and organizational<br />
development. Fuelled by core leadership values focused on<br />
respect for those around her, excellence and kindness, Matear is<br />
taking an inclusive approach to her new job.<br />
“One of my challenges will be how to build on all the great<br />
initiatives that have gotten us to this point,” says Matear, who<br />
arrived at the college from her position as Vice President of University<br />
Services, Finance & Administration at Yukon University<br />
in Whitehorse. “It’s ‘standing on the shoulders of giants’ and<br />
reaching further, as opposed to getting off and moving in a different<br />
direction.”<br />
During the transition in June, Graeme toured with Matear<br />
around the region to meet with staff at different locations and<br />
leaders in the communities that the college serves.<br />
“What I really appreciate is how much time community leaders<br />
had for Selkirk College,” says Matear, who has held leadership<br />
positions in economic and community development settings<br />
while serving on a wide range of non-profit boards. “I met with<br />
very busy people—mayors, CAOs, superintendents of school<br />
boards, First Nations representatives, executive directors of<br />
non-profits—all of them were happy to meet with us. It wasn’t<br />
challenging to set up these meetings, and it speaks really loudly<br />
of the reputation Selkirk College has developed as a true community<br />
partner. It was invigorating to discover that, and I look<br />
forward to continuing to meet with all of these people who really<br />
believe in the potential of where they live.”<br />
This <strong>Sept</strong>ember will mark the first full return to on-campus<br />
activity at Selkirk College since the pandemic turned the world<br />
upside-down in March 2020. New challenges have emerged that<br />
point to even greater emphasis on what post-secondary education<br />
can provide local economies. Addressing labour shortages<br />
and the need for more skilled workers begins in the classrooms,<br />
labs, studios and shops of Selkirk College.<br />
With more than 70 program offerings and anticipating up to<br />
2,500 students for the coming academic year, Selkirk College<br />
provides a range of academic, career, vocational and technical<br />
educational pathways. Like students anticipating the first day of<br />
classes, the new Selkirk College president is marking the days<br />
until an exciting new learning chapter begins.<br />
“Selkirk College is a remarkable destination. It’s completely<br />
unique and it’s located in an absolutely beautiful location,” says<br />
Matear. “Most importantly, what takes place here on a daily basis<br />
changes lives by providing better opportunities for the future. I’m<br />
just so happy to be part of it.”<br />
