Bishop’s hires Dr. Joachim Jean-Jules as new Director of Office of Research and Graduate Studies

Dear members of the Bishop’s community,

It is my pleasure to announce the University has hired Dr. Joachim Jean-Jules as Director of its Office of Research and Graduate Studies (ORGS), to support our campus researchers in their quest for academic excellence. 

Dr. Jean-Jules is keen to begin a dialogue with Bishop’s University researchers to hear about their priorities and their needs and how ORGS can best support them.

The University is very grateful to the Dean of Science, Dr. Kerry Hull, who assumed the duties of the ORGS Director on an interim basis. I also want to commend Dr. Samia Mihoub, who was until recently our Research Grants Officer, for her exemplary work over the last years.  We also extend our thanks to Jimmy Couturier, the Graduate Studies Coordinator, and Blazena Sokol, the Administrative Assistant, for their unwavering commitment and heightened efforts during the interim period.

Dr. Jean-Jules holds a Ph. D. in Business Administration from the Université de Sherbrooke, an MBA from Université du Québec à Montréal as well as a Master’s in Project Management from Université du Québec. He was until recently Research Director at the Canadian Institute for Entrepreneurship and Management (CIEM).

Please join me in extending our warmest Bishop’s welcome to Dr. Jean-Jules and wishing him a great deal of success in his crucial task.

Dr. Andrew Webster
Vice-Principal, Academic and Research
