Veteran business journalist Deborah Yedlin has been appointed University of Calgary chancellor.
Bill Kaufmann of the Calgary Herald writes, “Yedlin will continue to write her business column for the Calgary Herald on matters not related to the university, through the end of May, said Lorne Motley, the newspaper’s editor in chief.
