From Troy Shantz, Sarnia Journal.
As a young high school teacher in the 1980s, Judy Morris got her bus-driver’s licence so she could take students from low-income and immigrant families on field trips.
To the dismay of school administrators at Bramalea Secondary, however, baboons set upon her school bus during a well-intentioned trip to African Lion Safari, and the curious apes stripped it of mirrors and trim.
“You can imagine,” Morris said with a laugh, “how thrilled the high school principal was with me.”
That kind of enthusiastic leadership has characterized Morris’s tenure as president of Lambton College over the past seven years.
Under her direction, Lambton has undertaken $35 million worth of expansions and renovations, and is now ranked the #1 applied research college in Canada.
Her team has attracted nearly 1,000 international students, and empowered student entrepreneurs to create a middle class in parts of rural Zambia.
