On the latest episode of the NEXTcast podcast, available free on Soundcloud and iTunes, we speak with School of Health Sciences professor Christine Zupo and two of her students about their TIF-funded research study.

Alongside Christine, Guelph-Humber students Alex Evans and Lexa Castellan discuss their experience as researchers and offer insight into their growth as professionals. Learn more about positive interventions, the research process, and student professional development in this engaging discussion.

“I never felt like a student. I always felt like an equal contributor.” – Alex Evans

“The most important thing we took away from this experience was a newfound confidence in our ability to work together as professionals.” – Lexa Castellan

NEXTcast is a podcast about teaching and learning at Humber College, created by Humber Press and The Centre for Teaching & Learning. New episodes go up on Soundcloud and iTunes every second week.

It is with great pleasure that I announce the appointment of Sarah-Jane Greenway as the new Associate Dean, Journalists and Writers in the Faculty of Media and Creative Arts.

Sarah-Jane is a very experienced and accomplished administrator with profound institutional knowledge encompassing a broad variety of aspects of Humber College. During her time, initially in the Registrar’s Office and later in Program Planning Development & Renewal, Sarah-Jane led a number of successful initiatives in recruitment, admissions, records, registration, fees, program reviews, degree consent renewals, program mapping, curriculum changes and student success and engagement. In 2010, Sarah-Jane received a Humber College Innovation of the Year Award for “The Use of Social Media at Humber in support of Student Recruitment.”

For the last eight months, Sarah Jane was the Acting Associate Dean in the School of Creative and Performing Arts. In this role, her personality, leadership and institutional knowledge have been key assets in quickly establishing successful relationships and processes to manage what has proven to be a period of intense and accelerated change.

Sarah-Jane holds a Masters of Education in Post-Secondary Studies from Memorial University. A runner and mother of three, Sarah-Jane is an avid reader and theatregoer.

Please join me in welcoming Sarah-Jane to her new position!
