Jubinville makes the cross-town move from the Cégep de Sherbrooke where he was the Athletic Director for the last two years.

“We are truly excited to have Jean-Benoit join our team at Bishop’s,” said the university’s Dean of Student Affairs Jackie Bailey. “He brings with him a wealth of experience in both high performance sport and recreation facility management. He is very well respected in our local Sherbrooke community, has a deep understanding of the RSEQ and is committed to excellence. I have no doubt that he will make a significant impact to the Bishop’s community and Gaiters athletics.”
