After five years of work as an academic administrator, Dr. Andrew Scott has decided to return to his first love: teaching in Humber’s Bachelor of Music program. As the new program co-ordinator, Andrew will focus on academic supports for the Faculty of Media & Creative Arts’ largest degree, as well as ongoing curriculum development to ensure that Humber better meets the evolving needs of its music students. His priority for the Winter 2021 semester will be to create pathways between Humber’s music offerings to support the music ecosystem and reinforce the Humber Music brand of excellence at all levels of music education.

To ensure a smooth transition, Heather Lowry will move from her role as Associate Dean of Interaction Design (IDC) to Associate Dean of Music & Fine Arts (MFA). Heather has over eight years of experience in academic administration, seven of which included managing the three fine arts programs within MFA. She will continue to act as Associate Dean to the IDC programs until a replacement is hired.

Samantha Araza will continue to support Heather, moving with her to the MFA cluster, while Marsha Duggan will bring her considerable knowledge of college operations to IDC. Samantha and Marsha will work closely with Heather to prioritize faculty engagement and student success through this process.

Hannah Burgé Luviano will continue to assist students and faculty as Program Manager, focusing on equity, diversity, inclusion and belonging. She will work directly with Guillermo Acosta to develop and implement the Faculty’s EDI strategic plan. 

Please join me in welcoming Andy, Heather, Hannah, Samantha and Marsha to their new roles and thanking them for their hard work and continued leadership.

Senior Dean, Faculty of Media & Creative Arts
