Ross Stevenson
Ross Stevenson (Roseneath) currently serves as a Community Committee member on the NHH Board’s Facilities and Campus Development Committee.
Now retired from a distinguished career in academia, Ross—who holds a doctorate in Agricultural Meteorology—was a long-serving Professor of Environmental Science with Durham College’s School of Science and Engineering Technology. He served on the College’s Management Team in early 2000, directly supporting the creation of the University of Ontario Institute of Technology (now Ontario Tech University), before being temporarily seconded to that institution’s Executive Council (August 2001 to July 2002).
Prior to his work in academia, Ross was the Member of Parliament for the Riding of Durham (1988 to 1993) and, before that, Member of the Legislature of Ontario for Durham-York (1981 to 1987). He has held a life-long interest in farming and animal genetics, and has shown his prize-winning purebred Limousin beef cattle at the Royal Winter Fair and local fall fairs.
