Colleagues –
From June till September 2015, the Student Support & Advising unit conducted a self-study with the support of an advisory committee from across campus. We wished to take a step back from our work and look at where we are at after just over 3 years of service to the University community.
It was a very reflective and fruitful experience for us – critical reflections from faculty and our colleagues from across campus provided us with a great suggestion of next steps as we continue to move our work forward.
What came out of the study was a series of recommendations that we are currently working to validate through a working group process and are working closely with other units on campus and those within ES that could be impacted by the recommendations.
Given that our work is so closely connected with colleagues across Enrolment Services, it is our desire to share the executive summary of the self-study for your review . SSA Self-Study Executive Summary
Should any questions come up please do not hesitate to connect with me or the four other people from our unit that worked as writers and researchers on the project, their names can be found on the last page of the document.
I’d also like to take this opportunity to thank the advisory committee (Dr. Tiffany Potter, Patty Hambler, Michelle Mallette, Karen Waugh-Clark, Andrew Arida, Jenna Omassi, Tobias Friedel ) and members of our team that have worked so closely on the project from day one. Without the two groups working so closely together we wouldn’t have had such a fruitful reflective experience for our work.
As mentioned, should any questions arise, please do not hesitate to be in touch.
