It is an honour to work with such outstanding faculty, staff and students, and a privilege to serve as Associate Dean, Research and Graduate Studies in the Faculty of Human Kinetics.

Our research mission is to advance knowledge that will enhance health, well-being and overall quality of life. Successful mobilization of this knowledge will promote meaningful change, and provide value in the following areas: community, health, industry, policy, society/culture, and sport/recreation.

Over the next three years, our research culture will be enhanced by leveraging individual and shared strengths within the Faculty of Human Kinetics, and focusing on the following four strategic priorities:

1. Celebrate and promote research success
2. Enhance supportive research environment and increase internal communication
3. Increase research impact mobilizations
4. Create a sustainable faculty-level research program.
