Hi Applied Arts, I don’t know if you’re all feeling the same way, but early March feels about a thousand years ago. I kind of hope that attending to work commitments in between kids’ snack breaks and story times never begins to feel completely normal, but I feel myself growing accustomed to the chaos. We’re…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – April 2020

Hi Applied Arts, I can’t think of a better time to get back to sending out monthly (or perhaps even more frequent) Dean’s Updates than now. My last update was a year ago. Yikes! In present circumstances, I will not use Dean’s Updates to relay offical Yukon College COVID-19 response items—the College’s daily bulletins will provide the…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – March 2020

Happy long weekend everyone! I hope all of you get a chance to relax and play this weekend. As the winter term comes to an end, I want to thank all of you for your unfailing commitment to our students. This has been an exciting and challenging year: the launch of the Bachelor of Arts…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – April 2019

Hi Applied Arts, This update has been a long-time coming. I have no excuse. It’s the result of chronic, debilitating procrastination. Let’s see if we can’t get this blog back on track! Faculty Attendance at Convocation If you haven’t already, please consider attending Convocation on May 23, 2019 to support our graduates as they cross…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – February 2019

Hi Applied Arts, Hard to believe the end of October and, with it, Hallowe’en are already upon us. For those who haven’t seen the posters, the Hallowe’en theme at the College this year is Heroes and Villains. Participation isn’t mandatory, but last year’s Harry Potter theme was a hoot, so don’t shy away from dressing up…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – October 2018

Hi everyone, Welcome to the first dean’s update of the 2018-19 academic year! I hope everyone had a restful summer, with plenty of opportunity to get away and not think about postsecondary education. The family and I spent a fabulous three weeks in the Maritimes in late July. I went there with just one goal in mind—to sit…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – September 2018

Hi Applied Arts, I was doing so well for a while there sending out blog postings monthly, then went completely off the rails in March, April and May. Sigh. It’s been a very busy time in Applied Arts, but I’ll endeavor to get back on schedule. Here are few reminders and news items from the…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – June 2018

Hi Applied Arts, I hope everyone had a fun-filled Rendezvous weekend. Unfortunately, one of my littles was under the weather all weekend, so that put a bit of a damper on the festivities, but we still got outside for skiing, maple treats, sledding, and snow fort building. Here are few updates from the across the…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – February 2018

Hi Applied Arts, My apologies that this update is a little late in coming. And belated Happy New Year! to anyone I haven’t touched base with yet. Before getting to some news items, I just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone for handling the craziness of this term’s start-up with professionalism and…Continue Reading Dean’s Update – January 2018
