Avril Carnovale, Associate Dean, The Business School
View in full page
When:
May 13, 2015

After fourteen years at Humber College, Avril Carnovale has decided to retire this summer. Avril has a long history with the Business School as a partial load professor, program coordinator and administrator. Avril has been a student champion, supported our international initiatives in Jimei and in Cebu, was instrumental in developing the Cosmetic Management Diploma program and the Fashion Management Graduate Certificate program as well as led the school in transitioning to MyIT Lab.

As Associate Dean, Avril enthusiastically supported the many school-based events including hosting the Ontario Colleges Marketing Competition, the annual “Walk-It Out” Fashion Event, fund-raising in the Spa, and “Grads Give Back”, just to name a few. Avril enjoyed meeting with students and parents during Open House and at Orientation. She was the first point of contact for many new part-time faculty joining the Business School. 

Avril will be remembered fondly by the many students she has served and the faculty and admin teams she worked with throughout her career at Humber College. The Business School will be holding a celebration for Avril at the end of June.

Please join me in wishing Avril the very best in her well-deserved retirement.

When:
May 11, 2015

After more than 10 years of outstanding dedication and service, Jason Galea, Associate Dean, Liberal Studies in the School of Liberal Arts and Sciences has accepted the position of Dean, Liberal Arts and Access Programs at Georgian College and will be leaving Humber effective June 5, 2015.

Jason made some very significant contributions to LAS and Humber in the many different roles he occupied during his tenure.  As a faculty member, coordinator and then Associate Dean, he worked tirelessly to ensure that Humber students had access to the most comprehensive and exceptional liberal studies courses and curriculum in the province.  He lead one of the largest reviews of general education in the history of the community college system the results of which allow students across the entire province of Ontario to better understand the transfer credits they can earn as they progress through their academic studies and explore pathways to further post-secondary education.

Beyond his immediate contributions in the Department of Liberal Studies, Jason also gave of his time, passion and insight on a variety of committees and councils at Humber.  He was an active member of the Policy and Procedures Committee, Academic Reference Group, and Academic Education Technology Council to name but only a few.

I hope that you all share with me well wishes as he pursues this new and exciting career opportunity where I am sure he will again foster innovation and creativity while supporting student success and access.

Sincerely,

Paula Gouveia
Dean, School of Liberal Arts and Sciences
