Ambrose University Appoints Colin Kubinec as Dean of Student Life 

Calgary, Alberta – October 1, 2025 – Ambrose University is pleased to announce the appointment of Colin Kubinec as the new Dean of Student Life.

Kubinec has been a dedicated member of the Ambrose community for more than a decade, serving as Director of Athletics and Campus Recreation since 2015, following his earlier role as Assistant Athletic Director. Under his leadership, Ambrose Athletics grew significantly, expanding sport programs into the Alberta Colleges Athletic Conference and establishing a culture of excellence and transformation both on and off the court. He also served as Head Coach of the Ambrose Lions Women’s Volleyball team for eight seasons, leading the program to consistent championship-level performance and national recognition.

In addition to his contributions in athletics, Kubinec has taught as a sessional instructor in the Kinesiology program, equipping students with both practical coaching skills and a vision for leadership rooted in character formation. His commitment to student growth and flourishing has extended beyond the campus through roles in local churches, youth volleyball development, and national gatherings for Christian higher education.

Kubinec holds a Master of Arts in Leadership and Management with a leadership coaching certification from Briercrest Seminary, where he received the Leadership Excellence Award. He also completed a Bachelor of Arts in Biblical Studies at Briercrest College, where he graduated as class valedictorian.

With this appointment, Kubinec will lead Ambrose's Student Life division starting October 15, guiding initiatives that foster holistic student development, community engagement, and leadership formation. 

Ambrose University President, Rev. Dr. Bryce Ashlin-Mayo, shared: 

"Colin has demonstrated a deep commitment to Ambrose students through his years of leadership in athletics, academics, and community life. His passion for student growth and his ability to foster environments where our students thrive make him an excellent choice for this role. I look forward to seeing how Colin will continue to shape the experience at Ambrose." 

Please join us in congratulating Colin Kubinec as he steps into this important leadership role.
