I am pleased to announce that Dr. Patricia Morgan will assume the role of Dean of Research effective June 1, 2012.
Tricia joined Humber in 2003 as a Professor in the English Department, was appointed Coordinator in 2003, and Associate Dean, General Arts and Science, Mathematics and Literacy and Basic Skills, in 2008. Her emphasis as Associate Dean has been, first and foremost, on student success and engagement. During this time, General Arts and Science as well as mathematics course graduation and completion rates have increased as has student satisfaction.
With a doctorate from York and three years as Chair of Humber’s Research Ethics Board, she is well positioned to move Humber’s research strategy forward. Of specific interest to Tricia will be:
- working with schools to identify and facilitate research projects in the private and public sectors;
- helping schools raise faculty profiles related to research;
- providing input on how research may be carried out in degree capstone courses;
- offering tutorials on new research software (qualitative and quantitative) and assisting with identifying funders;
- assisting in matching faculty/staff for collaborative research;
