“We knew we found Alberta University of the Arts’ next leader when Dr. Janis Goldie presented an ambitious, inclusive and pragmatic vision for the university that builds visibility, expands partnerships and supports our community,” said Adrian Stimson, board of governors chair and Presidential Search Committee chair, in a news release. 

“Alberta University of the Arts turns 100 in 2026, and Dr. Janis Goldie is the ideal person to lead us into our next century.”

Goldie joined AUArts in 2022 as the dean of Academic Programs. She holds a doctorate in philosophy and a master of arts in Communication Studies from the University of Calgary.

“I am excited about celebrating the university’s past 100 years and helping to build its vision for the future as a global leader in art, craft and design education,” Goldie said in the release. 

Goldie replaces Dr. Daniel Doz, who has held the position since 2010. He will end his third five-year term in April, the longest leadership tenure in the history of the school.
