Following an open call to parents of current Vanier students, Vanier College is pleased to announce that Dr. Elise Levinoff and Alexandra Malka were elected each for a two-year term as parent members on the Board of Governors starting November 30, 2026.
Dr. Elise Levinoff is a staff Geriatrician and Internist at the Jewish General Hospital, where she serves as Director of the Division of Geriatric Medicine. She is also an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine at McGill University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences.
As the mother of two daughters, one attending high school and the other studying Music and Social Sciences at Vanier College, Dr. Levinoff has a strong appreciation for the importance of accessible, high-quality education and student success. She is committed to fostering environments that support learning, personal growth, and community engagement.
Dr. Levinoff brings extensive leadership and governance experience through her service on hospital and healthcare organization boards, as well as her work leading innovation, quality improvement, and strategic initiatives within the healthcare system. A dedicated educator, she has held leadership roles in medical education, including serving as Program Director for Internal Medicine residency training.
Thirty years ago, Alexandra Malka was a student at Vanier College. Today, she's back as a parent, seeing the College from a whole new perspective. Alexandra strongly believes in the power of education to open doors and shape young people's futures and has carried that commitment into her own community.
She served seven years on her children's high school governing board and six years as PTA president, working alongside parents, teachers, and administrators. These experiences gave her firsthand knowledge of school governance and reinforced her belief in parent involvement, inclusive education, and equal opportunities for every student.
Professionally, Alexandra brings over 25 years of experience in business, technology, and entrepreneurship. Her career includes leadership roles at Cisco and i3International, owning and operating two Montréal businesses, and working in residential real estate.
