It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Tara Lew has decided to spread her wings and take on an exciting new role as Educational Consultant with the Office of the Fire Marshal and Emergency Management, Ministry of Community Safety and Correctional Services.

In her 15 years at Humber, Tara has touched many people. She is the heart and soul of the Teaching Effectiveness Certificate (TEC), a key mentor for new part time instructors and the energy behind many workshops. In the time I have worked with Tara, she has been a member of the design team for the Inclusive Design Certificate, the re-imagining of the TEC resources and most recently, ensuring the online deployment of TEC. Tara’s enthusiasm for teaching and learning, compassion for people, and engaging methods will be greatly missed.

Please join us on Wednesday, September 27th, 3 - 5 p.m., in the community room (NX111) at the North campus to celebrate with Tara before she moves to her next adventure.

I would like to announce that Cameron Redsell-Montgomerie will be leaving his position as the Math Centre Coordinator at the Dan Andreae Math and Writing Centre as he has taken a new position at Centennial College. His last day at Humber will be Friday, September 15. Cameron has done an extraordinary job over the last 5 years with the development of the Math Centre, so much so that it has become a model among the GTA colleges. His enthusiasm, dedication, contributions and the relationships he has made across the college will be greatly missed. We wish him nothing but success as he begins another chapter in his career in post-secondary education.  

In the interim, I would like to introduce Chad Manning who will be the Acting Coordinator for the Dan Andreae Math and Writing Centre at the North Campus. Franc Jamieson will now be the Coordinator for the Math and Writing Centre at the Lakeshore Campus. Chad can be reached at chad.manning@humber.ca.
