Dr. Steven Franklin is calling it a career.
The former president and vice-chancellor of Trent has announced he’ll be stepping away from a return to the classroom.
Dr. Steven Franklin was appointed the seventh president of Trent University in 2009 and during his five-year term, the school opened the Life & Health Sciences Building and the Trent Athletics Centre, plus developed student residence annexes adjacent to the campus on Water Street.
He has also played a key teaching role in three new academic programs developed during his time as president: Bioenvironmental Monitoring and Assessment, Sustainable Agriculture & Food Systems, and Environmental Geoscience.
Current president Dr. Leo Groarke says Franklin’s legacy will be marked by ambition and collaboration.
