This newly configured role will work direclty with staff in Disability Services, as well as with Diana Jacobsen and her team in the Test Centres.

During part of that time, Nora worked for the Human Rights Legal Support Centre and represented clients before the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario.

In 2010, Nora became an associate professor and acting program coordinator at Lambton College in Sarnia. There, she developed and launched a new Law Clerk diploma program.
