Bev King bids farewell to the Faculty of Arts and Science
Bev King, Faculty of Arts and Science, has announced her retirement from the position of Assistant Dean, Teaching and Learning, effective today.
Bev started at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 in 1979 on her birthday, March 8, and she leaves behind an enormous legacy, putting the university on the map as a leader in online and distance education.
Before starting at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, she was a FAS student but unfortunately suffered from mental health issues before anyone knew what they were and withdrew from Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s in her second year. She next attended Metzler카지노 게임 컬렉션s business school for six months to learn secretarial skills.
카지노 게임 컬렉션My typing speed was enough to be hired at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s, but I filled up a lot of waste baskets for my first couple of weeks in the MBA Office at the School of Business,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Bev. 카지노 게임 컬렉션In those days we had IBM typewriters, used ditto paper to make carbon copies, and fixed errors by hand with white out and Exacto knives.
With her foot in the door, Bev joined FAS and spent 42 years here, starting out as secretary to the Admissions Officer in Part-Time Studies. She then held a variety of positions in Student Services and Arts and Science Online, which was formerly Continuing and Distance, Part-Time Studies, Correspondence Studies, and is soon to be renamed Learning Enhancement and Distance Studies.
When asked about highlights, Bev admits with such a long career it카지노 게임 컬렉션s difficult to pin down just a few but there are definitely some stories she enjoys sharing.
카지노 게임 컬렉션In 1989, to celebrate Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 100 anniversary of correspondence studies, we hosted the Ontario Council of 카지노게임사이트 Continuing Education (OCUCE, now called Ontario Council for 카지노게임사이트 Lifelong Learning) and 카지노 게임 컬렉션bridged in카지노 게임 컬렉션 participants using the Contract North카지노 게임 컬렉션s state of the art teleconferencing system,카지노 게임 컬렉션 she says. 카지노 게임 컬렉션I was new in the position of Associate Director, Part-time Studies, succeeding Dee Wilson.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션I also remember my first travels on my own - to Barrie for an OCUCE conference, for which I rented a car and a mobile phone (which was as big as a shoe box) and an OCUCE conference in Hamilton (all alone on my birthday for the first time ever).카지노 게임 컬렉션
After 42 years with retirement on the horizon, Bev says her contributions to the university would not have been possible without a number of mentors.
카지노 게임 컬렉션I was so fortunate to work with so many great people over the years. While I learned a lot from everyone I worked with, Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s 카지노게임사이트 Staff Association member Marilyn Hood and former Associate Dean (Teaching and Learning) in FAS and Professor of Music Theory and Analysis at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s Brenda Ravenscroft stand out as mentors for me. Marilyn taught me to put students first, opened my eyes to issues around women카지노 게임 컬렉션s rights, equal pay for work of equal value, and the work of the National Action Committee on the Status of Women, and the politics of unionization.카지노 게임 컬렉션
카지노 게임 컬렉션Brenda challenged me intellectually and professionally beyond my comfort zone - and making it possible for me to contribute to visioning and taking on leadership roles in blended learning initiatives, course redesign projects, and the eCampusOntario calls for proposals which allowed us to demonstrate the quality of our work in and be recognized province-wide as a leader in online teaching and learning.카지노 게임 컬렉션
With Bev카지노 게임 컬렉션s departure, FAS has announced that Wanda Beyer has been chosen as the incoming Director of the LEADS unit. She brings strong leadership, excellent interpersonal communication with faculty, staff and institutional leaders, and extensive experience developing and supporting teaching online and blended courses using evidence-based approaches.
Having returned to FAS in 2019 as the Associate Director, Instructional Design and Curriculum Development, she moved quickly last spring to design a successful remote learning strategy for the Faculty when the pandemic forced us off campus.
카지노 게임 컬렉션Bev has been such a dedicated member of the Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션s community and deserves this recognition,카지노 게임 컬렉션 says Wanda. 카지노 게임 컬렉션Her work in supporting distance students, creating new online learning opportunities and mentoring emerging leaders are only a few of her many accomplishments.카지노 게임 컬렉션
