Re: Announcement-Director, Student Services

I would like to share with the graduate community that after eight years in my role as Director, Student Services with the School of Graduate Studies (SGS) I will be joining Student Life as the Director, Student Career Exploration and Education as of Monday April 8th.
This is an exciting opportunity to ensure that the University of Toronto provides exemplary practices that support students’ self-exploration of career objectives through the development of career curriculum and programs. As the Council of Universities notes, it is more important than ever for universities to help prepare students for the future and I look forward to assisting students integrate their interests, abilities, experiences and values in the development of their career aspirations.
I will remain as a resource to SGS staff during the transition and will also assist in the on-boarding of my replacement. Kerri Huffman, Associate Director-Graduate Awards & Financial Aid will be the management point of contact for graduate awards, thesis submission, final oral examinations, convocation and post-doctoral issues. Josie Lalonde, Associate Director-Student Systems & Records, will be the management point of contact for recruitment, admission, registration, enrollment, program progress (including non-standard cases), student issues and student system/record issues. I would like to thank both Kerri and Josie for their support during the transition.
It has been a pleasure to work with you all and I have appreciated your deep commitment to graduate education. I look forward to working with many of you in my new role as we continue to improve the graduate student experience.
Warm regards,
Heather
