Biography
As Associate Dean, Undergraduate Programming, I am responsible for all domestic and international undergraduate student and curriculum matters, Field Schools, Exchanges, and Semester Abroad as well as faculty and unit-level undergraduate curricular programming development and program consultation. I also advise FASS units on course scheduling and liaise with various University entities on behalf of FASS, including Fraser International College and the French Cohort Program (Office of Francophone and Francophile Affairs). I provide leadership for FASS regarding matters of student recruitment and retention, new programs and interdisciplinary curriculum development, working closely with staff in FASS Arts Central and SFU Student Services. I chair the FASS Undergraduate Curriculum Committee (UCC) and serve on the SFU Senate Committee for Undergraduate Studies (SCUS) as well as the Strategic Enrolment Management Committee (SEMC).
