David Marshall will become the eighth president of Mount Royal College this fall.
Marshall, president and vice- chancellor of Nipissing University in North Bay, Ont., was hired to head the Calgary educational institution following a six-month nationwide search for a successor to retiring president Thomas Wood.

Wood has served at Mount Royal for 34 years, including eight years as vice-president academic. Appointed president in 1989, he helped lead the college’s drive for undergraduate-university status as well as a multi-million-dollar campus expansion now under way.

Hagerman was at the company’s helm during the creation of the investment trust through the merger of the Fording, Luscar and Teck Cominco metallurgical coal mines.
The partnership (FDG.UN-TSX; FDG-NYSE) was finalized last week. Fording Coal Partnership is the world’s second-largest exporter of metallurgical coal.
