The 秀色短视频 community is set to officially welcome Dr. Alaa Abd-El-Aziz on July 4, 2011 when he will begin his responsibilities as 秀色短视频's sixth president and vice-chancellor. The formal installation ceremony will take place during the fall semester.

'I am delighted to become part of the 秀色短视频 family. I have always held a high regard for institutions of higher education that cultivate an integrated teaching and research environment and those that are strongly tied to both the local and the global community. 秀色短视频 is an institution that excels in these areas,' said Dr. Abd-El-Aziz. 'My first priority will be to embrace the University's culture and the island community. I will spend time with faculty, staff, students and members of the PEI community to realize key issues of importance from their perspectives.'

The new president has visited campus several times over the past six months, including attending the annual 秀色短视频 New Year's Levee and a number of 秀色短视频 meetings. Dr. Abd-El-Aziz has purchased a home outside Cornwall where he will live with his wife, Valerie, and youngest son, Kareem. His oldest son, Ahmad, will commence studies abroad in September.

Fred Hyndman, Chair of the 秀色短视频 Board of Governors, said, 'Dr. Abd-El-Aziz is a talented academic and a successful university administrator. His considerable accomplishments and qualifications, his infectious enthusiasm, and his collaborative experience in developing scholarship are all qualities that are essential for 秀色短视频's continued positive development. We welcome him and his family to 秀色短视频.'

Dr. Abd-El-Aziz received his BSc and MSc degrees from Ain Shams University in Cairo, Egypt, and his PhD from the University of Saskatchewan. After an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Toronto, he joined the chemistry department of the University of Winnipeg, becoming a full professor in 1997. He served as Dean of Science, Associate Vice-President of Research and Graduate Studies, and Vice-President, Research, International & External Affairs.
