Caroline Dépatie, Dean

Global and Community Studies students are empowered to impact the world through the development of skills, knowledge, and work integrated experiences that focus on collaboration, connection with our communities, stewardship, and innovation in thinking and doing.

Our programs concentrate on the physical, social, and economic well-being of our local and global communities. Good governance, healthy communities, diversified economies, international development, and opportunities to respectfully explore different cultures and environments are just some of the ways we positively affect the world around us.
