I am pleased to announce that Carl Oliver has been appointed as Associate Dean, Built Environment at the School of Applied Technology, effective January 29, 2018.

Carl Oliver joined Humber in 2002 in a faculty role, and quickly discovered a passion for teaching and learning. In over a decade as professor/program coordinator he was a faculty mentor, Chair of the Humber Showcase planning committee, and secondee to the Centre for Teaching and Learning where he built communities of practice and supported faculty in their use of educational technology. His focus on innovative teaching led Humber in becoming the first Canadian postsecondary institution to implement the Lightboard to enhance student learning.

Since 2014, Carl has held the role of Director of Professional & Continuing Education for the School of Applied Technology. Carl and his team have leveraged customized training to enhance and build upon industry partnerships and have successfully secured funding for workforce development projects. To ensure that school of Applied Technology’s CE initiatives continue to move forward, Carl will be also leading his department until hiring new CE director.

I also want to use this opportunity to thank Janet Bedard, in particular for the outstanding job that she did as Associate Dean during last few months. Please join me in welcoming Carl to his new role at Humber.

Dr. Farzad Rayegani
Dean, School of Applied Technology
