We are honored to remember and celebrate the life and legacy of our President Emeritus, Dr. Allan Cahoon. Dr. Cahoon was a visionary leader, a dedicated educator, and a changemaker who always prioritized serving students above all else. His commitment to making a positive impact is reflected in this year’s 2024 commencement theme: “Sofia: Resilient, Transpersonal Global Leaders & Change Makers.”
This theme is a tribute to Allan’s lifelong dedication to leading with purpose, as he proudly identified himself as a “University Professor, Academic Lead & Changemaker, President, Sofia University.” His legacy of creating space for growth and change continues to inspire us as we shape the future of education and leadership at Sofia.
We invite you to read more about his incredible journey and impact in this beautiful article: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/article-allan-cahoon-was-a-gay-academic-who-made-it-easier-for-future-queer/
Dr. Cahoon’s work lives on in the hearts of our community, and we are proud to carry forward his mission of creating resilient, transpersonal leaders who make meaningful, positive change in the world.
