Sheila Ager speaking at podium with people smiling around her

Faculty of Arts and campus colleagues gathered to celebrate Dr. Sheila Ager’s five-year tenure as Dean. Emceed by Doug Peers, former Dean of Arts (a “has-dean”), there were reflections, laughs, and almost-tears shared by friends, colleagues, and family. Speakers included Bob Kerton, Dean of Arts Emeritus, Mary Wells, Dean of Engineering, Lili Lui, Dean of Health, Dean Ager’s brother, and the dean herself.

Drawing on diverse experiences working with interdisciplinary teams, this panel session will explore strategies for building and managing interdisciplinary research teams and projects. This session is ideal for researchers aiming to deepen their interdisciplinary approach and broaden the impact of their work.
