Acting Dean’s Message
This spring issue of Education
News feels like an exclamation
mark (or a happy face emoji) at
the end of a busy and successful
academic year. The Faculty of
Education’s many celebrations
are reflected in this issue. We are
proud of our accomplishments
and excited to share these
successes with our extended
community of readers.
Students are at the centre
of what we do. This issue
showcases Faculty of Education
undergraduate and graduate
students and their many
achievements in teaching,
research, and service. From
student awards of excellence in
athletics and academics to the
student-led #TreatyEdCamp event,
this issue highlights just some
examples of ways that the Faculty
of Education students and alumni
are making great contributions to
school communities and beyond.
We have some new faces in our
Faculty: Dr. Alexandra Stoddart
joined us in January 2018 and
is teaching in the area of Health,
Outdoor, and Physical Education.
Arlysse Quiring and Linda Jiang
have recently joined the Faculty
of Education Student Services
Office. And one of the most
important pieces of news is the
announcement of the new Dean
of the Faculty of Education, Dr.
Jerome Cranston. The Faculty
will look forward to welcoming
Dr. Jerome Cranston when he
joins us on July 1, 2018 from the
University of Manitoba.
I am proud of the Faculty of
Education, the work that we do,
faculty, staff and, most importantly,
the students. I have learned a
great deal over the past year in my
role as Acting Dean. I am grateful
to the Faculty of Education and to
the University of Regina for this
opportunity of professional and
personal growth.
