Former prime minister Kim Campbell has been named founding principal of the new Peter Lougheed Leadership College at the University of Alberta.
The college is part of a collaboration between the U of A and the Banff Centre, to create a globally recognized leadership development program.
Campbell said she is honoured to play a role in cultivating leadership skills in students from every discipline on campus, particularly in the name of the late Alberta premier.
"In Peter Lougheed, you have a wonderful figure around which one can rally, who is symbolic of this place but also symbolic of the very goals one would want students to aspire to - that kind of imaginative, far-seeing, ethical, courageous leadership that the world needs."
The Banff Centre has named Dan Buchner, an award-winning designer and leadership expert, as inaugural vice-president of the Peter Lougheed Leadership Institute.
