University of Waterloo, Canada. Bill Rosehart, a University of Waterloo alum, has started a new role as the institution’s president and vice-chancellor for a five-year term. Bill brings more than two decades of senior leadership experience at major Canadian research universities, including the University of Guelph, and the Schulich School of Engineering at the University of Calgary.  A three‑time Waterloo engineering graduate, he has a deep appreciation for the University’s bold founding vision and its globally recognised integration of experiential learning, entrepreneurship, and research excellence. His leadership career consistently reflects these strengths: he is known for guiding institutions through periods of significant change with clarity, collaboration and principled decision‑making. Upon his appointment, Bill said: “Waterloo was founded on a bold idea: that integrating academics with real-world experience could redefine higher education and strengthen society. That spirit of unconventional thinking remains its greatest strength, and I am excited to return to help build on that foundation.”
