To the Humber community,

I am delighted to announce the following staffing updates within the Academic and Students and Institutional Planning divisions.

As a result of her longstanding work, insight and knowledge regarding data driven enrolment and retention strategies, Corrine Johnston has accepted a new role, Special Advisor, Student Academic Success within the Academic Division. Corrine will report to Gina Antonacci, Senior Vice-President, Academic. Corrine will work in strong collaboration and alignment with the Faculties and key departments in the Students and Institutional Planning Division. This role will focus on research and interventions aimed at enhancing student success and retention.

Jelena Dukic will take on the new role of Director, Institutional Research and Analysis and report to Jason Hunter, Vice-President, Students and Institutional Planning. The portfolio will maintain the research, analysis, assessment, and reporting functions of Institutional Planning and Analysis, and will be a critical partner both within and outside of the division in supporting data-informed decision-making. The role will support strategic direction related to Strategic Enrolment Management (SEM), including enrolment strategy, Strategic Mandate Agreement, and institutional performance measurement and management of data assets. Jelena brings with her a wealth of knowledge and experience to this role having completed her doctorate in Educational Leadership in 2021, leading the Institutional Research unit for the past five years and playing an active role within Humber’s SEM and other internal and external committees.

Regan Mancini will continue as Institutional Planning Specialist and will report directly to Jason Hunter. The role will continue leading annual business planning and reporting, and high-level strategic initiative implementation planning and strategic outcomes monitoring through capacity building, project management methodologies, and recommendations for process enhancements and improvements.
