Dear Students, Colleagues, and Community Partners

Welcome to Fall semester 2024!

The start of a new academic year always brings a sense of renewal, and this year is particularly special for me as I embark on my first full academic year as Dean of the Faculty of Education at Memorial. 

Education is the heartbeat of a happy and healthy society, and our collective work is vital to shaping the future and it has been an honour to join this dynamic and dedicated community.

Over the last nine months I have had many opportunities to bear witness to the remarkable teaching, learning, and research that characterises the Faculty’s over 100-year history of excellence in education. It is by working together with all of you that we can continue to uphold and advance the standards of excellence that this Faculty is known for. 

This year also marks the 100^th year anniversary of Memorial University. As Dean of the founding Faculty I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where innovation, collaboration, and inclusivity thrive. 

I look forward to continuing to learn alongside each of you, collaborating on new endeavors, and building on the strong foundations that have already been established.

Best wishes for a successful and inspiring year ahead!

Pam

Education is a lifelong pursuit. 

Professionals with degrees in education work as teachers and post-secondary instructors, school and institutional administrators, curriculum designers, health care practitioners, student affairs and services practitioners, policy makers, and more.

Teaching and research changes lives, it affects people and can help communities grow. Our programs are cutting edge and focus on teaching and learning, continuing teacher education, educational counselling, adult and post-secondary instruction, policy and practice, and research.

There’s no better place than here for starting or continuing your journey of making a difference through Education.
