Student Wellness Services, Student Affairs

Fatima has been the Clinic Manager in Student Wellness Services for more than 15 years. She and her administrative team take care of every detail that ensures the smooth operations of the medical and mental health services.  Much of Fatima’s days are spent behind closed doors, with students who are unwell or in distress – she is a problem solver, a compassionate listener, and a calm steady presence.

Fatima has led numerous initiatives over the years to enhance clinic operations, and she contributed significant student-centered input into the design of the purpose-built space in Mitchell Hall, and a recent renovation, to ensure the clinic in the Cote Sharp Student Wellness Centre is welcoming, maintains student privacy, and is comfortable for all.

Student Experience Office, Student Affairs

Hanna is coordinator of Student and Transition Programs in the Student Experience Office in Student Affairs. She leads Summer Orientation to Academics and Resources (SOAR), and student engagement events throughout the academic year, helping students connect to each other, and to resources and supports on campus.

She collaborates with colleagues and student groups across campus to improve the experience for incoming students, and provides exceptional programming that reflects student needs.  Students note how she put them at ease with her genuine care, connecting them to peers across different years of study, building community and resilience.  Many took on further leadership roles on campus, and continue to use the skills she taught them, in their careers and graduate studies.

Stacy has championed innovative mental health programming, and takes time and care to encourage students to support each other, informally and through peer mentorship. She continually demonstrates her commitment to diversity and inclusion through advocacy for a BIPOC-identifying counsellor, implementing supports for neurodivergent students, and expanded programming for international students.
