Former St. Thomas University president Dennis Cochrane has accepted a two-year position as the president of Atlantic Education International, an appointment geared at boosting the provincial government’s foreign education program.
Cochrane, the former leader of the Progressive Conservative Party and a member of Premier David Alward’s transition team, has already started in the new position, which is a two-year appointment that pays $30,000 annually.
Education Minister Jody Carr said Cochrane’s experience in building relationships will be important in his new position in growing the institute.
“There is a lot of growth potential for AEI but growth needs to be done strategically and with a coordinated approach,” Carr said in a statement.
“Dennis Cochrane’s experience, knowledge and proven track record make him well suited to oversee the execution of AEI’s mandate and the development of a business and expansion strategy for international education in New Brunswick.”
