gowns of education and social work graduates, President Fairbrain swapped his academic garb for that of the president’s robe. Fairbairn has been operating under the title of TRU president since December 2018 and it all became official at the first Spring Convocation ceremony honouring the education and social work graduates.

Fairbairn taught and conducted research in history, public policy and interdisciplinary studies at the University of Saskatchewan for over 30 years before taking on the leadership role at TRU.
