As Lynne Bentley retires from her role as Director of Humber Libraries at the end of December, I am pleased to announce the appointment of Alexandra Ross to Interim Director. As part of the Student and Community Engagement leadership team, Alexandra will focus on operations and management of Humber Libraries. A backfill plan will be put in place to ensure Alexandra’s current responsibilities are covered. The search for a new Director of Libraries will commence in the new year, with the intent to appoint a permanent Director by Spring 2017.
Alexandra has been with Humber since 2009 as a Business Librarian. While she initially had responsibilities on all three campuses, Business School growth shifted Alexandra’s focus to Lakeshore’s business students and faculty. Alexandra has also been the Lakeshore Library and Learning Commons Coordinator, coordinating the day-to-day operations of both these spaces. In addition to her library experience, Alexandra has worked in executive search and public relations. Alexandra’s educational credentials include a Bachelor of Commerce, a Bachelor of Arts (English), a Master of Arts (Communications) and a Master of Information Studies.
Please join me in congratulating Alexandra on this appointment.

Vice-President, Student and Community Engagement
