Professor Renée Bergeron, director of Campus d’Alfred, will continue in her administrative role at OAC’s francophone campus until 2017.

“It is important that we review and evaluate the contributions of our senior administration on a regular basis” says OAC dean Rob Gordon. “I am very pleased with the input we had from across the College as well as externally. Renée has had a positive impact at Campus d’Alfred and I am pleased to see her continue in this important role. ”

Bergeron, an expert in animal behaviour and professor in the department of animal and poultry science, was appointed director of Campus d’Alfred in 2007. The campus, located 70 km east of Ottawa, is the only French-language institution in Ontario to offer diploma and certificate programs in agri-food and related fields.

“I am very grateful for the confidence shown in me with the decision to renew my mandate with the direction of the Campus d’ Alfred,” says Bergeron. “It is with great enthusiasm that I will continue to work with my colleagues to advance the the mission of excellence of the campus and OAC.”

Part of the Ontario Agricultural College since 1997, Campus d’Alfred offers associate diploma programs in agriculture; food, nutrition and risk management; and, in partnership with Collège Boréal, veterinary technology.
