A message from Lianne Gagnon, director, Students Services
I’m pleased to share that Health, Wellness and Accessibility Services has undergone some positive changes that will better equip our team to tackle the growing needs of our student body. In addition to a new associate director position, as I shared last month, we’ve also been fortunate to add four new accessibility consultants to our team since December 2018.
