For more than 60 years, Huntington University has made a name for itself by proudly partnering with many organizations, both national and international, to foster relations and build community. The university has also successfully established thriving institutes and centres of excellence which have cemented robust relationships and partnerships with colleagues in Canada and around the globe. These international ventures have provided a strong foundation upon which to grow and prosper. As such, the Board of Regents for Huntington University identified the Canadian Institute of Human Rights and Global Health as a key area of growth.
Dr. Kevin McCormick, who successfully led Huntington University for nearly 20 years as President and Vice-Chancellor, serves as Founding President of the Canadian Institute for Human Rights and Global Health.
“Each centre of excellence at Huntington University has come to fruition and produced impressive results thanks to the impeccable leadership and innovative vision of one man at the helm. The Board of Regents is thrilled that Dr. McCormick has agreed to adopt the role of Founding President of the institute. In some ways, it is most fitting given his personal passion, extensive international expertise, and lived experience. If you know Kevin, you are well aware he is a true global citizen and a champion for education. He also has a stellar reputation as a humanitarian of distinction and strong advocate for social justice who’s work in these areas has been recognized by governments and countries from around the globe.”
