Terry Weninger was the Yukon's deputy minister of Education in the 1980s.(("Yukon College on hunt for new president." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 24 February 2011.)) He also served as Yukon’s deputy minister of Tourism, Heritage and Culture. He was vice-president of Medicine Hat College and president of the College of New Caledonia from 1990 to 2004. Weninger was on the selection committee to choose a new president for Yukon College in 2007. The chosen candidate declined the position and Weninger was asked to stay on as he was about to retire. He was appointed to a three-year term.((Leighann Chalykoff, “College president disappointment called ‘misunderstanding.’” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 12 May 2007.)) 

Dr. Weninger stayed as president of Yukon College for five years, to 1 July 2011.(("Yukon College on hunt for new president." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse), 24 February 2011; Yukon College, 2020 website:  https://www.yukoncollege.yk.ca/programs/northern-institute-social-justice/governing-council.)) In 2009, the College legislation was revised to allow degree-granting powers. Under Weninger’s watch the college had an increase in students. The Yukon Research Centre of Excellence opened, and several new programs including a Multimedia Certificate, the Heritage and Culture Certificate, a Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Conservation Sciences in partnership with the University of Alberta, plus the launch of the Northern Institute of Social Justice, of which Weninger was a founding member in 2010.
