\n A New Beginning for the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs \n <\/h1>\n \n <\/header>\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n \n\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n

FPGA faculty, staff and students gathered in the Loeb Lounge on September 19, 2024 to mark the beginning of a new era in the Faculty of Public and Global Affairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event began with a powerful statement: a blessing from Indigenous elder Kokum Irene Compton who performed a cedar and water ceremony and sung a blessing, inviting those in attendance to join her in the refrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a fitting start for a new chapter for the Faculty. The new name and a new strategic plan, Lead. Connect.Transform<\/em><\/a>., <\/em>were officially announced on July 1st<\/sup> and the Faculty has begun to explore ways to bring this plan to fruition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis process gave us as a Faculty the opportunity to ask \u2018Who are we?\u2019 and, \u2018Where do we want to be in five year\u2019s time?\u2019\u201d said Dean Brenda O\u2019Neill. \u201cWe met with dozens of faculty and staff members and heard from more than 1,600 students. One thing that really stood out for me during this process was how much everyone cares about this Faculty.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event was hosted by Teddy Samy, director of the Norman Paterson School of International Affairs, and included three videos featuring faculty members discussing the themes of lead, connect and transform as they relate to their work. The presenters were Paul Goode, the MacMillan Chair of Russian Studies in the Institute of European, Russian and Eurasian Studies; Duncan McCue, Associate Professor specializing in Indigenous Journalism and Storytelling; and Danette Nearing-Guibord, Associate Professor (Teaching Stream) and Field Placement Coordinator in the Institute of Criminology and Criminal Justice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dean O\u2019Neill noted that \u201cafter a global pandemic and in the face of budgetary constraints, we needed a bold plan for this uncertain future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The strategic plan puts forth a number of recommendations under the three pillars of lead, connect, and transform, including a renewed commitment to research support, workplace experience opportunities for students, and stronger partnerships with the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
