After more than 10 years of outstanding dedication and service, Jason Galea, Associate Dean, Liberal Studies in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences has accepted the position of Dean, Liberal Arts and Access Programs at Georgian College and will be leaving Humber effective June 5, 2015.

Jason made some very significant contributions to LAS and Humber in the many different roles he occupied during his tenure.  As a faculty member, coordinator and then Associate Dean, he worked tirelessly to ensure that Humber students had access to the most comprehensive and exceptional liberal studies courses and curriculum in the province.  He lead one of the largest reviews of general education in the history of the community college system the results of which allow students across the entire province of Ontario to better understand the transfer credits they can earn as they progress through their academic studies and explore pathways to further post-secondary education.

Beyond his immediate contributions in the Department of Liberal Studies, Jason also gave of his time, passion and insight on a variety of committees and councils at Humber.  He was an active member of the Policy and Procedures Committee, Academic Reference Group, and Academic Education Technology Council to name but only a few.

I hope that you all share with me well wishes as he pursues this new and exciting career opportunity where I am sure he will again foster innovation and creativity while supporting student success and access.

Sincerely,

Paula Gouveia
Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences
