Hello my name is Michel Savard and I am currently the Dean of the School of
Hospitality and Tourism
and also have the privilege of sharing the Student Success Committee known as
SSE
I would like to take a moment and share with you I believe this committee is
very very important. First, just a quick history of the committee. It has been in
existence for almost 10 years now
and it's been led by very progressive people such as Claude Brule,
Kim Tisek who unfortunately we lost this past year, Doug Oderkirk and
Marnie Squire
The mandate of the committee is pretty straightforward. It's to
provide leadership in improving retention, graduation, and student success
of our students
The membership itself is
since recently become a real cross College
membership whereby we have people that are their experienced,
knowledgeable that come from across the college. Student success is truly
everyone's business. It doesn't matter
if you work in the physical resource area,
in the parking office, in the cafeteria and registrar,
if you are a member of support staff or academic groups or a few senior manager
within the organization it is truly everybody's business.
We have currently some exceptional practices taking place throughout the
college. Unfortunately
the challenge that we have is we don't always share those
practices. SSC students success committee will undertake in the near future to do
a better job at
providing the information in making sure that we hear about those great practice
coming from different areas at the college.
We will use our website and I really hope that you will let us know
the stories, the practices, the ideas, the concepts and
the information that you have that we can forward and that everybody can learn
from
So, in closing I hope that you will connect with either myself or members of
the committee should you have such
information such practices and we really look forward to receiving
your information and on behalf of the committee we thank you
and look forward to hearing from you thank you
