At convocation ceremonies in Shippagan, Edmundston and Moncton, Dr. Denis Prud'homme officially became the 10th President and Vice-Chancellor of the Université de Moncton for a five-year term.

Dr. Prud'homme took office on July 1, 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic and the impossibility of holding convocation ceremonies postponed this traditional installation ceremony.

“It's a tremendous honour to have been chosen as the 10th president and vice-chancellor of the Université de Moncton, a veritable flagship institution in Acadie. The past three years have flown by at lightning speed and have been filled with beautiful and unforgettable moments. I would like to thank l’Acadie, the board of governors and the entire university community for placing their trust in me. I am privileged to represent the Université de Moncton and, together with all my colleagues and staff, to take its destiny to new heights,” declared Dr. Prud'homme.

The installation of a president is rooted in the tradition of the Université de Moncton and considers the institution's history as well as the place the president occupies within the university community. Held during convocation, the ceremony officially introduces the new incumbent while highlighting our institution's legacy to the academic community, as well as the achievements and contributions of our graduates.

Professor, researcher and administrator, Dr. Prud'homme has more than 30 years' experience in academia at Université Laval and the University of Ottawa and continues to practise medicine part-time. He holds a doctorate in medicine, a certificate in family medicine and a master's degree in human kinetics.
