RVC’s Stuart Reid Steps Down to Take on US Leadership Role

9th October 2024

Stuart Reid, President of the Royal Veterinary College, has announced his departure to assume the position of Chief Executive Officer at the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges next summer. This significant leadership transition comes after Prof. Reid’s 14-year tenure at RVC, during which the college achieved top status in the QS World University Rankings for veterinary science. His move highlights potential shifts in international veterinary education dynamics.

Under Prof. Reid’s guidance, the RVC has experienced notable achievements, including topping the QS World University Rankings in veterinary science multiple times. His leadership style, characterized by a balance of strategic planning and heartfelt engagement, has been praised by colleagues. His transition to the AAVMC presents an opportunity for cross-continental collaboration and may influence global veterinary educational standards, underscoring the interconnectedness of international academia.

As Stuart Reid prepares to embark on this new chapter in the United States, the RVC looks ahead to appointing a successor who will continue its tradition of excellence. This leadership change not only marks the end of an era for the RVC but also signals a promising future for the AAVMC under Reid’s experienced leadership. The veterinary academic community anticipates the positive impacts this transition will herald across the sector.
