It is with mixed emotions that I write to share the news that Shari Walsh, currently the Manager, Transition & Leadership Programs in Student Success & Engagement, will be leaving Humber on March 1, 2019 to take on the role of Associate Director, Student Engagement, Academic Advising & Career Services at Niagara College.
In over six years of service here at Humber, Shari has contributed to various service and program areas in Student Success & Engagement including Residence Life and Student Life. Shari has played a significant lead role in advancing new models of service for Orientation, off-campus student support, leadership development programming and of course, the Co-Curricular Record. During her tenure, all of those program areas have seen incredible growth in the levels of student engagement and demonstrated measurable impact on key student success outcomes. More recently, Shari has taken on responsibility for some key strategic projects including the alignment of the CCR competencies with the evolving ILO framework, co-chairing the SEM Working Group looking at employment outcomes for our students with disabilities, leading SSE’s initiatives under the Career Ready Fund, and last but not least, the review and enhancements to our Work Study program. In all that she did, Shari showed intentionality, commitment and a true passion for delivering a quality experience for our students.
Please join us at the North Campus Student Life Office on Wednesday, February 27 between 1 and 2 p.m. for an informal gathering in Shari's honour.
