Carleton University - The Capital Advantage
Carleton University’s Board of Governors announced the appointment of Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon as its 15th President and Vice-Chancellor. The appointment of Dr. Bacon follows an international search process that engaged hundreds of internal and external constituents at Carleton and in the Ottawa community.
“On behalf of the Carleton University community, I am very pleased that our comprehensive search process identified a leader of Benoit’s calibre,’’ said Chris Carruthers, chair of the Board of Governors.
“As Carleton positions itself to respond to a changing university sector and increased competition, Benoit will play a critical leadership role in leading the organisation and supporting our students, faculty and staff. On behalf of the Board, I would like to congratulate Benoit and welcome him to the Carleton community.”
An accomplished teacher, researcher and academic administrator, Dr. Bacon will assume his leadership role at Carleton from Queen’s University where he currently serves as Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic).
Dr. Bacon will assume a tenured appointment at the rank of professor in Carleton’s Department of Psychology. His research specialty is the neurophysiological and cognitive bases of visual perception.

Labs, tutorials, field courses and seminars are conducted in small classes, resulting in personalized interactions with professors, lab supervisors and fellow students. An early emphasis on experimenting is a key component of science at Carleton. Carleton’s BHSc is a wide-ranging and career-focused programme that provides students the skills required to succeed in the rapidly changing worlds of medicine, biomedical research and healthcare research.
International students who are applying for the undergraduate programmes at Carleton University have to meet certain criteria. High school graduation is the normal minimum level of study to be considered for admission to the first year of an undergraduate program at Carleton University.
