I manage the Director’s calendar and provide administrative support to Faculty Council and Equity Working Group. I provide support to all hiring committees and have a role in the orientation for new faculty and staff. I plan and prepare for special events in the School including visiting scholars, convocation receptions, etc. I manage the work schedule, provide mentorship and guidance to the general office staff. I prepare accounting paperwork for faculty for the director’s signature; manage and submit requests for the purchase of furniture, building maintenance and repairs, computers and equipment; respond to questions from staff and faculty regarding School of Social Work and UVic policies and procedures. I’m happy to answer any questions you have and if I don’t know the answer I’ll find it.
