AINSLEY LAWSON
I've been a member of the UTSC community for 20 years, first as a student, then graduate student, and now staff member. Through my advising/program administration work in the Psychology department, I've developed a thorough understanding of student needs, and can offer insight into how academic changes may impact learners. In my current secondment (through May 2024) as Programs & Curriculum Coordinator in the OVPD office, I have fine-tuned my ability to examine curriculum proposals, and would be uniquely positioned to review program/course changes through a critical lens as a member of the AAC. Thank you for considering my nomination.
