Changes and Transformations
The Centre for University Teaching, one of four divisions of Teaching and Learning Support Services, has entered a period of substantial transformation. Christian Blanchette, whom many of you know, ended his term as Director of TLSS and moved to the Faculty of Education at the end of June. At that time the position was elevated to the level of Associate Vice-President (Teaching and Learning) and is occupied since July 1 by Yves Herry, former Vice-Dean Research in the Faculty of Education. A priority of his mandate is the reshaping and strengthening of the Centre for University Teaching to enable it to play a key role in the university`s response to areas of concern identified by NSSE. As a consequence we anticipate substantial changes in the coming months.
