RelaySA

It was a great day when Atifa Karim and Meagan Lau agreed to sit down with me to chat for the podcast. Atifa and Meagan are both doing their Master's in Higher Education at OISE and had a lot of great things to say about their learning experience so far and their outlook as they consider their future careers.

Episode 3 of RelaySA has us starting a brand new relay with the amazing Jennifer Hamilton. Jennifer is the first ever Executive Direct of CACUSS and has some wonderful insights into our field in Canada.

Episode 2 of RelaySA is an interview with the one and only Darran Fernandez. Darran is the Associate Registrar and Director of the Student Support & Advising unit in Enrolment Services at UBC, overseeing advising, financial aid, awards and scholarships for students on the Vancouver campus. Darran was also the Program Chair of the 2015 CACUSS conference which was our largest conference ever!

Welcome to the first episode off #RelaySA- an original podcast capturing a connected conversation about Student Affairs in Canada.

Why is it called ‘RelaySA’? Each interview will end with the question ‘Who should I interview next and what should I ask them?’ I will follow up with the suggestions and the virtual ‘baton’ will be passed along with each interview we record.

This is interview #1 with Jen Gonzales, Director of Student Life at Ryerson University in Toronto, Ontario- Canada.
