Tyndale University is delighted to announce that the Board of Governors has appointed Dr. Elizabeth Green to a five year term as Provost and Chief Academic Officer, effective July 1, 2021.

In this role Dr. Green will provide oversight to all Academic programming, as well as services provided by the Office of the Registrar, Library, Open Learning Centers, and Tyndale Academic Press. The Provost is also a core member of the Cabinet, Tyndale University’s executive leadership team.

Dr. Green came to Tyndale University in 2019 as a Visiting Research Professor. Later that year she was appointed on a six month contract as Acting Academic Dean of Undergraduate Studies, and in January 2020, Dr. Green was appointed for an 18 month term as Interim Provost and Chief Academic Officer. Working closely with Faculty, the Deans and relevant Departments, in the past 16 months Dr. Green has moved several significant matters forward, including enhancing the influence and function of Senate and several academic processes, supporting our work with PEQAB and the recent amendments to our Charter, actively engaging with Cabinet and faculty in our institutional response to the COVID-19 crisis and significantly expanding our virtual teaching capacity, all while ensuring our students continue to receive an outstanding academic experience. During this time Dr. Green also published as co-editor with Dr. J Luetz, “Innovating Christian Education Research: Multidisciplinary Perspectives” and continued teaching in Undergraduate Studies.

Dr. Green’s academic credentials include her B.A. in Modern History from the University of Oxford, Post Graduate Certificate in Education from the University of Cambridge, M.A. in Education Management from the University of London, and D.Phil in Education from the University of Oxford. She is a Fellow of the Royal Society of the Arts. Dr. Green is also a Senior Fellow for Cardus, an independent think tank located in Hamilton, Ontario.

“Dr. Green is a respected scholar, researcher, leader and speaker of international recognition and reputation,” states Tyndale University President, Dr. Marjory Kerr. “Equally critical, she is passionately committed to the mission of Tyndale University. We offer our congratulations and pray God’s blessing on Beth in this mission critical role.”
