President’s Biography

Ann Buller assumed the presidency of Centennial College in June 2004. Leadership approaches that enable major transformational change have become President Buller's hallmark, while her commitment to the values of the Learning Centered College movement is evidenced in her ability to refocus institutions on learning. Her own values are congruent with the key strategic directions of Centennial, supporting her work in leading the institution in the pursuit of academic and service excellence.

Ann Buller is steadfast in her belief that colleges must meet the economic and social inclusion imperatives facing our country. Under her direction, Centennial launched its Signature Learning Experience that prepares students not just for employment in their field of study, but for their role as global citizens as well. The SLE opens students' minds to the diversity, equity and social justice issues that affect our world.

President Buller's career spans 20 years in the college system. Before accepting the role of President for Centennial College, she served as the Vice President Academic and Chief Learning Officer at the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC). An NSCC, she established a new vision for academic and student services-an integrated approach to learning founded on a portfolio education model. Ann Buller describes her time with NSCC as "life-changing," expanding her understanding of leadership while providing the opportunity to explore the boundaries of learning.

Prior to joining NSCC, President Buller spent 11 years with Centennial College in a variety of positions, all of them focusing on students and student success. As Director of Student Services, she partnered with academic colleagues to address retention issues-earning the College a Noel Levitz Retention Excellence Award. As Vice President Student Advocacy and Services, President Buller established a blueprint for renewed student services that entrenched the College's commitment to human rights and diversity.

Ann Buller sits on various boards and committees, working tirelessly as an advocate for Centennial and the college system. President Buller graduated from Humber College's public relations program before completing her Bachelor of Arts in Sociology at York University and her Masters of Arts in Education at Central Michigan University. She has earned numerous college marketing awards and awards of excellence for student retention, organizational development and leadership.
