It is with very mixed emotions, I announce the resignation of Dr. Amanda Baskwill from Humber College effective April 29, 2022. Having served Humber since 2009 as Program Coordinator (Massage Therapy Advanced Diploma), Professor (School of Hospitality, Recreation and Tourism), Researcher (Research, Innovation & Scholarship) and most recently, Associate Dean (Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness), Amanda has demonstrated commitment, dedication, and passion for student success, employee culture, and overall excellence in everything in which she has engaged.

Throughout her time in the Faculty of HS&W, Amanda has contributed to several significant initiatives, including Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice and Evaluation of Innovative Teaching and Learning Methods. Recently she has led the design, submission, and approval stages of a new Diploma Program to be offered in Fall 2023.

Although a loss for Humber, the Faculty of Health Sciences & Wellness wishes Amanda well as she transitions to a Decanal role at Loyalist College. Please join us in thanking Amanda for everything she has contributed to our students, our employee groups, our faculty, and the College overall, and wish her well as she moves into the next phase of her career.
