A Second Term for Dean Frank Pons

Friday April 19th, 2024

Frank Pons extends his tenure as Dean of the Faculty of Business Administration by undertaking a second term, following his reappointment by Université Laval’s board of directors on April 17, 2024. This continuity will take effect on July 1, 2024, for a period of four years.

Starting in the midst of the pandemic, Frank Pons’ first term (2020 to 2024) was characterized by a drive to stimulate the faculty community and strengthen ties with the external community and alumni in order to further promote FSA ULaval and its members locally and internationally. Renewing the PRME and EQUIS accreditations was another significant achievement during this first term.

Frank Pons begins his second term with the Faculty celebrating its 100th anniversary (web page in French only) marked by many festivities at both the local and international levels.

With more than two decades of experience in the academic domain, Frank Pons has forged a path forward at FSA ULaval, starting out as a lecturer before becoming a professor in various academic institutions around the world, including FSA ULaval, where he taught for 13 years. From 2017 to 2020, he was also the director of the Carré des affaires FSA ULaval-Banque Nationale (web page in French only), and  from 2019 to 2020, he served as science director for the development of the partnership component at Université Laval.

We wish to thank every member of the Faculty who took part in the consultative ballot from March 18 to 22, 2024. Your involvement is essential to the vitality of our university community.
