She has extensive experience as a contract academic instructor at Renaissance College and has been an active participant in UNB’s experiential learning initiatives and student success and engagement committees and activities. She has engaged with community partnerships and organizations and is committed to community-engaged learning and interdisciplinary education.
The director role rests within the portfolios of the vice-president academic (Fredericton) and the vice-president Saint John, as it will serve the academic mission of UNB in supporting the growth of experiential education in all faculties and departments. The activities and work of this position will be co-ordinated and supervised by the two campus associate vice-presidents, Dr. Kathy Wilson and Dr. Laurelle LeVert.
