Hello Gender Studies Community,

On behalf of the hiring committee, I am delighted to announce that Denita Arthurs is the successful candidate for the position of Administrative Assistant to the Department Head/Graduate Assistant.

Throughout the selection process, it was clear that Denita met and exceeded all the requirements for the job. She will strengthen our ability to uphold and act on our mission, values, and goals. Denita takes pride in “clearing the path” to support others in reaching their goals, but it was clear to the hiring committee that she has an ability to see a path where others only see a thicket of brush!

With 18 years' experience in higher education, Denita has managed academic support, research services, student life, quality assurance, faculty development, and business operation departments and has served as both a sessional lecturer and coach. Denita has a Master's degree in Coaching from the University of Victoria, and has extensive experience coaching and mentoring young adults. The diversity of Denita’s background and her comprehensive knowledge of post-secondary institutions will position the Department to take on new initiatives and support special projects. Denita is a respected leader who is known for being innovative, strategic, community-minded, and forward thinking.  We are thrilled that Denita will be joining us.

Denita’s first day will be 6 July and she can be contacted at denita.arthurs@queensu.ca.

Please join me in welcoming Denita to Gender Studies!
