The School of Dentistry announces the launch of a new educational resource, the Learner Success Center. The center will give educational support to potential applicants, students, faculty and staff.
Spearheaded by Sara Hughes, MBE, associate dean for education and student affairs, the center will see the reorganization of these existing school divisions: admissions and outreach, curriculum support, and student services. Over time, the center will, following the re-organization and co-location of existing staff and recruitment of staff and faculty, offer a one-stop shop for all learner inquiries and support needs.
"Over the next few months, the team and I will be looking to develop an efficient, minimally disruptive, reconfiguration of education administration," said Dr. Hughes. "We will share our vision and goals in response to the needs of our learners, faculty and staff, which will underpin our ambitions as described in our strategic plan and emerging education strategy."
The center is actively recruiting for two faculty leadership positions — predoctoral program director and postdoctoral program director — to help further develop and transform the learner environment.
