He assumed the role of St. Mary’s University’s Interim President on August 5, 2025, after being granted a leave from his current position as Executive Director of the Catholic School Superintendents of Alberta and setting aside the leadership in-service he engages in through his educational consulting business.

Over the past 25 years, Dr. Morrison has delivered countless professional learning sessions throughout Alberta, sharing insights rooted in his graduate-level leadership training. A former president of the College of Alberta School Superintendents, he is a sought-after speaker with expertise in educational leadership, governance, student well-being, professional learning, and organizational storytelling.
