I am pleased to announce that given an increase to scope of responsibility over the past academic year, Ian Crookshank’s title will be changing to Associate Vice-President, Learner and Career Success and Dean of Students. In September of 2021, after an external review leading to a reorganization, the Department of Student Success and Engagement expanded to include Community Employment Services, given the alignment of work with the Career Centre and departmental involvement with Humber’s Work Integrated Learning Strategy.

In 2019, Ian joined Humber College as Dean of Students, and has provided direction to Student Success and Engagement with an unwavering focus on putting students first. Throughout the pandemic, Ian and his team have dealt with issues ranging from individual students in acute crisis to working with college and external partners to provide scalable solutions that ensured that as many students as possible could seamlessly continue with their education despite unprecedented challenges.

Ian is a student affairs professional with more than twenty years of experience at numerous institutions in Ontario, and is an important asset to the college as we move forward together to ensure students succeed in meeting their personal, academic and career goals. Please join me in thanking Ian for his work at Humber to date, and in congratulating him for taking on this important enhanced role.

Vice-President, Students and Institutional Planning
