Martin Pochurko set to retire, February 2025

August 20, 2024

This message is sent on behalf of Joy Johnson, president and vice-chancellor, to all faculty and staff. 

Martin Pochurko has announced his decision to retire from ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV, effective February 7, 2025.

Martin has served at ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV twice, totaling nearly 14 years, most recently nine years as Vice-President, Finance and Administration. Martin led a large team that supports the people of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV through services such as ITS, Finance, Ancillary Services, Facilities and Safety and Risk Services. The VPFA team has made significant contributions to achieving ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV’s vision under Martin’s leadership, most notably their deep and comprehensive work toward sustainability and the multi-year student housing strategy. The VPFA team also works hard every day on the issues that don’t get a lot of attention, from safety on campus to cyber-attacks. During Martin’s tenure ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV has continued strong financial performance, reflected in investments valued at over $1 Billion.

Martin has been a pleasure to work with and a valued member of the executive team. I have heard him say often that it was the people of ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV that made him come back a second time. He will be missed, and we are grateful for all he has done for ¶¡ÏãÔ°AV.

A search for Martin’s replacement will be announced in the coming weeks. It is our intention to fill the role prior to Martin’s departure to ensure a careful transition.

Sincerely,

Joy Johnson
President & Vice-Chancellor
