Diane is a senior international consultant whom many in the Humber community may already know from her past role as Dean of International at Humber College. From 2005 through to 2016 Diane led the international portfolio at Humber. During that time, she was responsible for the development and implementation of Humber’s award-winning internationalization strategy, the development of partnership projects, institutional linkages, study abroad, international exchanges and the recruitment, admissions and services for Humber’s international students.

Diane currently provides strategic advice and consultation to universities and colleges across Canada, along with research and analysis of emerging trends in the internationalization of higher education and technical, vocational education and training (TVET) capacity development. She holds a Master of Science (MSc) in International Planning and Development from the University of Guelph and an undergraduate degree in Cultural Anthropology from the University of Western Ontario. She is currently a PhD candidate in Higher Education and Comparative, International, and Development Education at the University of Toronto.

I am extremely pleased that Diane has agreed to take on this critical role for Humber and look forward to continuing to work with her as she takes on this new role beginning September 14, 2020.

Diane, it is a great pleasure to formally welcome you back to Humber and to the academic leadership team!
