Pamela Wallin has stepped down as chancellor of the University of Guelph, due to her growing responsibilities as a senator. Wallin, who was appointed chancellor in 2007, was named to the senate in 2008, said, in a statement released by the university, that her time at Guelph "has been one of the most rewarding experiences" of her life. President Alistair Sumerlee called Wallin a "valued friend and champion of the University of Guelph." Wallin sits on several senate committees and has assumed the chair of the National Security and Defence Committee.
