This October, the University of Waterloo will be recovering from more than just Frosh madness and a heavy beginning-of-the-year workload. The school will be saying farewell to university president David Johnston, who was recently appointed to the post of governor general of Canada.
Johnston's new position begins October 1, 2010, at which point the university will be taken over by an interim president. The University's board of governors has named Feridun Hamdullahpur to the interim position, according to an August 10 news release.
