Keynote Speaker
Dr. JOANNE LIU is a paediatric emergency physician and a professor at McGill University’s School of Population and Global Health, where she focuses on polycrisis and health emergencies. She worked for Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) from 1996 to 2013. She was the first woman elected International President of MSF, serving two terms from 2013 to 2019.
Through her leadership, she spearheaded the emergency responses to humanitarian and health emergencies including epidemics in West Africa (Ebola 2014-2016) and denounced attacks on hospitals at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on May 2016, which lead to the UNSC resolution 2286 on the protection of medical missions and personnel in conflict zones.
Dr. Liu is also a graduate of CÉGEP Champlain St. Lawrence.
Honorary President

He represents Canada in the prestigious Morehead-Cain Scholars Program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, fostering academic excellence and international collaboration. A lifelong educator, Dr. Robert devoted over 35 years to CÉGEP Champlain St. Lawrence, where he retired as Campus Director in 2014. His academic achievements include a doctorate from Université Laval, along with undergraduate and graduate studies at the University of Ottawa, University of Maine, McGill University, and Harvard University.
