Members of the University community,
As you will recall from my email on March 21, I committed to expand the search committee for a new Associate Vice-President (Human Resources). After that announcement, a number of people from URFA, APT, and CUPE expressed their interest in serving.
As Chair, I selected a representative from each of those employee groups to join the committee, which now consists of:
- James Nahachewsky, Dean of the Faculty of Education;
- Lori Campbell, Associate Vice-President (Indigenous Engagement);
- Marc Butikofer, Executive Director (University Advancement);
- Temple Maurer, Director of Pension and Benefits;
- Doug Cripps, Academic Lead (CESL) and faculty member, Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies – URFA;
- Lauren Bradshaw, Health & Safety Services Coordinator, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science – APT; and
- Emily Duncan, Post-Doctoral Fellow, Department of Sociology and Social Studies – CUPE.
Thank you to these individuals for agreeing to serve on the committee, and to all others who volunteered to do so.
The committee will be supported by Megan Ludik of Human Resources and D’arcy Schauerte of the President’s Office. As the search process continues, information and updates will be posted on the University Search website.
Yours sincerely,
Jeff Keshen
President and Vice-Chancellor
