Loyalist College President & CEO
Mark Kirkpatrick
Wednesday, May 29th
The Grand · 70 Harder Drive, Belleville    

The Chamber has enjoyed a strong working relationship with Loyalist College for many years including a presence on the Board of Directors.   

Recognized as an approachable, consultative, and visionary leader, Mark Kirkpatrick was recently appointed as Loyalist’s new President and CEO after serving as the College’s Acting President for several months. Mr. Kirkpatrick originally joined Loyalist in 2005 as Director of Information Technology where he modernized the College’s IT department and implemented a campus-wide IT infrastructure. Mr. Kirkpatrick earned increasing responsibilities over the years as he gained the confidence, respect, and trust of senior leadership. In the role of Senior Director, Infrastructure, he reimagined Loyalist’s indoor and outdoor spaces to align with the College’s caring and inclusive institutional values. After joining the senior leadership team as Senior Vice-President Corporate Services and CFO, Mr. Kirkpatrick operationalized the College’s Private College Public Partnership, Loyalist College in Toronto, and was the architect behind the business case, financial model, and operational plan that realized Loyalist’s vision for a new campus in Port Hope. During the pandemic, he worked tirelessly with Public Health partners to protect the health and well-being of Loyalist’s on campus and surrounding communities while ensuring the College avoided any deficits or employee lay-offs.   

Mark's predecessor addressed the business community in 2017, and we know a lot has changed since then.  We are looking forward to welcoming Mark Kirkpatrick as our guest speaker and hearing all about what is happening at Loyalist College.
DID YOU KNOW?  that for four consecutive years, Loyalist College has been named one of Canada's Top 50 Research Colleges, climbing eight spots in 2023, to be ranked at number 36.
