Principal

Royal Military College Saint-Jean

Posted: January 09, 2025

Principal

The Royal Military College Saint-Jean is situated on the traditional territory of the Kanienʼkehá꞉ka (Mohawk) Peoples. Established in 1952, the Royal Military College Saint-Jean is a bilingual military-civilian educational institution that is proud of its heritage of producing leaders for the Canadian Armed Forces. Its mission is to develop bilingual leaders imbued with exemplary values that serve Canada with distinction. The Royal Military College Saint-Jean offers college and university programmes. Its role is multifaceted and unique, and it is dedicated to the education and development of leaders through a programme that consists of four components: Academics, Military Leadership, Physical Fitness, and Bilingualism. Located on the site of Fort Saint-Jean, a heritage site that has borne witness to the vast military history of the French and British Regimes as well as that of Canada, the Royal Military College Saint-Jean’s academic wing has approximately 100 faculty, and approximately 345 full-time students on campus.

The Principal is the academic leader of the Royal Military College Saint-Jean, accountable for the operation of all academic activities of the institution, including promoting research, developing the scholarly mission, and defining its academic policies and frameworks. The Principal provides the academic leadership for the development and execution of the strategic concepts, planning, and broad executive management of the College as an institution of academic excellence. The Principal represents the Royal Military College Saint-Jean both nationally and internationally, working to maintain and further promote the Royal Military College Saint-Jean as an accredited university. The Principal is also a senior academic advisor to the Canadian Armed Forces, working closely with its counterpart at the Royal Military College of Canada in Kingston, Ontario.

The Principal works within the structure of the Canadian Armed Forces where the command structure supports the generation and operation of resources. As an academic leader of a hybrid military-civilian institution within this command structure, the Principal must navigate the affairs of the institution through the chain of command. The Commandant is the senior military officer, whereas the Principal is the senior academic officer.
