by Jason Spencer Metroland Media McCallion installed as Sheridan College chancellor College," she said. The school, which has campuses in Mississauga, Brampton and Oakville, has undergone many changes since it was founded in 1967. With a chancellor in place, Sheridan is now a step closer to becoming a university. "This is truly a historic day for Sheridan," said Zabudsky. "As we formally install our inaugural chancellor, not only are we strengthening our longheld and deeply cherished relationship with the one and only Hazel McCallion, we're also making even further strides on the journey underway to become Sheridan University." The school plans to apply for university status in 2018. To gain entrance to Universities Canada, it has begun offering degree programs, upped faculty credentials and set up a senate. Regardless of the name, Zabudsky said Sheridan U would maintain its college roots with smaller class sizes, hands-on learning and offering apprenticeships and skilled trade programs. He added the new status would provide more opportunity for students including degree programs in "emerging fields of study." "Because we know in today's world, undergraduate degrees are quickly becoming the minimum calling card for employment in a growing number of fields," he said. McCallion, who also serves as a special advisor to the University of Toronto Mississauga, said Sheridan is on the right track to better equip students for an everchanging and unstable employment environment.

McCallion was sworn in during an installation ceremony Monday (June 6) at the Living Arts Centre in Mississauga. She then had all week to get used to the ornate robe and hat that comes with the territory as she attended several Sheridan graduation ceremonies. "I think 95 is a perfect age to start a new job," she quipped during her chancellor's address, adding she was both delighted and stunned when offered the three-year ceremonial role. Sheridan President Jeff Zabudsky said McCallion was the obvious choice for the voluntary position. "Throughout her 36 years as the mayor of Mississauga, Hazel McCallion embodied the attributes we aim to instill in our students at Sheridan," he said. "She's a firm believer in hard work and living a life Hazel McCallion with purpose to build the foundation for personal and professional success."
