In her role as Director of Graduate Studies and Postdoctoral Affairs (GSPA), Marianne works collaboratively with the teams across GSPA to support our graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. She advises on graduate studies matters, including marketing and recruitment, communications, admissions, enrolment and academic records, theses and examinations, convocation, employment and funding, and University policies and procedures.
Marianne has spent her entire career working in the postsecondary sector and enjoys getting to know students and understanding their stories. Her favourite memories are of attending two former student weddings, both on the beautiful island of Barbados.
Within GSPA, you will find staff and faculty who are committed to ensuring the success of graduate students and postdoctoral scholars. We are open to feedback, suggestions, and opportunities to explore solutions with you. Contact me if you have any questions regarding GSPA, or are not sure who to connect with.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
