by Kate Wetterstrand, CFICE Administrative Research Assistant

Alexandra Hine is CFICE’s newest, and arguably, most enthusiastic addition to the team! Alex’s search for “an opportunity to help support the �Ӱ�ԭ��/Ottawa community in a meaningful way” was successful in landing her a position as the next Administrative Research Assistant to the CFICE Secretariat.

Alex is a full-time Anthropology graduate student at �Ӱ�ԭ�� University, and keeps herself exceptionally busy with this work–on top of her current teaching and research assistant positions.

“When I’m not at CFICE enjoying the incredible views from Dunton Tower, I can usually either be found meeting with my supervisor, in class, marking papers or drinking coffee!”

Alex is an activist, a passionate student, and an engaged member of her community. Her concern with reproductive justice, women’s health and medical anthropology are the guiding themes in her Masters research.

Alex’s keen interest in engaged social research has provided her with ample experience in community involvement. Alex has been a Peer Mentor with the Centre for Student Academic Success at �Ӱ�ԭ��, a Social Media Coordinator for the Canadian Cancer Survivor Network and has also spent many years supporting and assisting her various communities in Ottawa, Toronto, and within �Ӱ�ԭ��, in any way possible.

When asked what excites her about working for CFICE, Alex stated, “What excites me most is getting a chance to support the Canadian communities alongside an incredible team of really dedicated researchers and community partners.”

“I hope that my role in CFICE will allow me to help support all the amazing work being done by the various working groups and help to foster more equitable relations between major post-secondary institutions like �Ӱ�ԭ�� and community at large.”

Alex brings with her a vigor, zeal and passion that will definitely benefit CFICE and CFICE is happy to welcome her to the team.

Introduction: New Research Assistant

Jay Gatsby — Tue, 30 Sep 2014 17:01:29 +0000

Hello!

My name is Christine Ackerley, and I just started as an administrative research assistant for the CFICE Knowledge Mobilization Hub. I’m a fourth-year Journalism and Communications student at �Ӱ�ԭ�� University. As a research assistant, my responsibilities include webinar support, web content management, strategic communications and supporting the Mobilization Committee of C2UExpo 2015.

I’m also working on a proposal for a series of news stories for CFICE. I’ll probably interview many of you in the CFICE community for stories and profiles!

I’m very excited to work with the CFICE team and learn more about knowledge mobilization practices.
