I am pleased to announce that Dr. Christina Hendricks has accepted the role of Vice-Provost and Associate Vice-President (AVP), Teaching and Learning, pro tem, for the term July 4, 2023 – June 29, 2024.

The Vice-Provost and AVP, Teaching and Learning is responsible for providing strategic direction and leadership in areas related to teaching and learning, including continuing education and lifelong learning.

Dr. Hendricks, who was recently reappointed as the Academic Director for the Centre for Teaching, Learning, and Technology, is a professor of teaching in the Department of Philosophy at UBC Vancouver. She is a practitioner, advocate, and researcher in Open Educational Resources and Practices, with several publications in this area as well numerous presentations and workshops. 

As we welcome Dr. Hendricks to this role, I would like to thank Dr. Simon Bates, who will be taking administrative leave, after serving as Vice-Provost and AVP, Teaching and Learning, pro tem, since July 2022. We are continuing our search for the ongoing Vice-Provost and AVP, Teaching and Learning, and hope to have further updates in the coming months.
