Minister of Education, Culture and Employment Caitlin Cleveland announced on March 19 that chairperson Joe Handley is leaving the role. Filling the vacant seat and appointing a new chairperson will begin soon, according to a GNWT news release.

"His leadership helped strengthen governance and guide the institution as it moves toward becoming a polytechnic university," the minister said.
The territorial government says it will soon issue a public service announcement inviting anyone interested in being an Aurora College board member to apply.
"Once the process is complete, a new chairperson will be appointed from among the members of the board," according to the GNWT.
