Meg Houghton has accepted the position of Associate Vice-President, Students at Mohawk College. Meg’s last day at Humber is March 22. 

Meg leaves Humber as the Acting Dean of Students and Associate Dean of Student Wellness and Equity. In these roles, Meg guided continuous improvement efforts to our wide range of student activities, services and supports. 

Meg was instrumental in launching the innovative “WeGotYou” brand designed to enhance service literacy and help-seeking behavior among students, and facilitated the amalgamation of health, counselling and accessible learning into integrated service centres. Under her leadership, Humber trained 3,000 faculty and staff in Mental Health First Aid and became the first public college to sign the Okanagan Charter for Health Promoting Campuses. Meg also introduced a hub-and-spoke model to enhance accommodation planning with Faculty partners. 

Meg is a trusted and active contributor to the student affairs profession in Ontario. She was involved in an advisory capacity for the Centre for Innovation in Campus Mental Health, for curriculum development at Ontario Institute for Studies in Education and for plans accompanying Bill 132 on Sexual Violence and Harassment.

Meg cares deeply about people and education and has provided thoughtful, solutions-oriented leadership to student-related concerns. Please join me in congratulating Meg on her new role and thanking her for her many significant contributions to Humber.
