Yesterday, Dr. HyeRan Kim-Cragg was formally installed as Emmanuel College’s 14th Principal! The installation was a celebration that reflected our multi-religious institutional identity as a part of Victoria University in the University of Toronto, a member of the Toronto School of Theology and a denominational college of the United Church of Canada.

“Anyone who has met HyeRan Kim- Cragg has experienced her deep empathy and wisdom, and I believe that her style of theological teaching and learning will contribute to our collective healing journey,” said Rhonda McEwen, president and vice-chancellor of Victoria University at yesterday’s Installation ceremony.

Congratulations are beginning to roll in ahead of tomorrow's Service of Installation as Dr. HyeRan Kim-Cragg formally takes on the role and duties of Emmanuel College's Principal.
