\u201cWe are so fortunate to have great leadership internally and the appointments we make today will contribute to making 杏吧原创 an even better place to study, live and work,\u201d said Bacon. \u201cI am grateful that Lorraine, Cindy, Karen, Jennifer and Lisa have agreed to serve in these important roles.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the recent expansion of the role of the Provost to include oversight of the operating budget, strategic planning and academic labour relations, it is imperative that these functions be co-ordinated by an experienced, skilled and respected second-in-command to the Provost and Vice-President (Academic). Her three-year term will start on July 1, 2019. In her new role, Dyke will work closely with the Office of Institutional Research and Planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dyke brings considerable experience to the portfolio, having served as Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (Academic) since July 2017. Previously, she was Associate Dean, Professional Graduate Programs in the Sprott School of Business. She currently serves as co-facilitator of the Strategic Integrated Planning Committee and is an experienced negotiator. A professor of Management and Strategy, she is the founder and former Director of the Centre for Research and Education on Women and Work (CREWW). Dyke holds an Honours BA in English Literature, an MBA in Finance and Marketing and a PhD in Management.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
