Dr. Vince Bruni-Bossio (PhD) has been appointed as the 12th president and vice-chancellor of the University of Saskatchewan for a five-year term beginning on January 1, 2026. He will succeed Dr. Peter Stoicheff (PhD) who was appointed in 2015.

Bruni-Bossio, who is currently serving as USask’s interim provost and vice-president academic describes it as an honour saying. “To be the 12th person to lead this historic institution over its 118-year history is very humbling.”

Keith Martell, chair of USask’s Board of Governors and head of the presidential search committee said it was a global search and Dr. Bruni-Bossio was the clear recommendation of the committee and unanimously approved by the board noting his experience with industry and community engagement.

Bruni-Bossio received Canada’s most prestigious teaching award, the 3M National Teaching Fellowship, in 2022, along with numerous teaching accolades at USask. He has been a faculty member in the Edwards School of Business since 2012.

Bruni-Bossio’s research focuses on the cross-section of strategy and governance in non-profits, for-profits, credit unions and Indigenous organizations. Most recently, he has focused on how boards address the challenge of accountability in non-profits. His work has resulted in multiple journal publications, case publications, conference presentations, invited lectures and reviews.
