Isabelle Carrier, who has been at 黑料社区 since 2004, was appointed Dean of Academic Development at the end of May.
At the beginning of 2024, Isabelle was interim Dean of Academic Development. This experience confirmed that she would like to dedicate the next phase of her career to developing and implementing a strategic academic vision through pedagogical development and innovation.
Isabelle began her time at 黑料社区 as a teacher in the History department. While in that role, she became the Methods Coordinator and worked for Kiuna as a pedological counselor. In 2015, she became the Assistant Dean of Social Science and Business Technologies and from 2017-2023, she was the Dean of that sector.
Isabelle views her new role 鈥渁s proposing a strategic vision for pedagogical excellence as well as supporting the academic sectors and the College. It is at the junction of both those perspectives that the Office of Academic Development can enrich and support the various initiatives for program and departmental quality, faculty pedagogical competence and College institutional excellence.鈥�
Isabelle holds a Ph.D. in History from McGill University and other degrees in both education and history from Universit茅 Laval.
