I’m pleased to announce the appointment of Neil Price to the position of Director, Student Life within the Department of Student Success and Engagement. Neil comes to Humber College from George Brown College, where he taught for over ten years, most recently in the Centre for Preparatory and Liberal Studies. Neil is former Executive Director of LogicalOutcomes, a non-profit consultancy focused on strengthening the human services sector through applied research and program evaluation.
Neil has extensive experience working as a program leader, community researcher and youth advocate. Passionate about access to post-secondary education, he has held management positions with Pathways to Education and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada. Neil’s pedagogical and subject matter expertise, his deep awareness of the multiple barriers that college students face, and his demonstrated ability to foster effective relationships across the college sector, will be invaluable in his new role.
Neil holds a Master of Public Policy and Administration degree from Ryerson University, a Bachelor of Education from the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE), and a Bachelor of Arts in English and History from York University. He has led a number of programs focused on student retention, and has been an invited speaker provincially with the Ministry of Advanced Education and Skills Development, as well as internationally with such organizations as the Mozilla Foundation.
Neil’s work embodies a deep commitment to learning, collaboration and facilitation. He is constantly in search of new ways to merge his interests in education, technology and community-building. Neil will be a great addition to a strong group of leaders as we advance our support of student success. He will start on January 9th, and I hope you will join me in warmly welcoming him to Humber
