Research Team

Pamela joined the CSSIC in 2018. Since then, she has led projects on essential skills articulation, translation, and assessment as part of HEQCO’s Learning Outcomes Assessment Consortium, as principal investigator of the SSHRC-funded Future Ready Skills Translator research project, and as co-investigator of Material Handling 4.0, one of the 10 innovation projects funded by the Future Skills Centre. While serving as Director of the CSSIC, she launched the CSSIC Research Fellowship, a unique funding opportunity for external scholars whose research is positioned to promote student success. She is currently the principal investigator of a SSHRC-funded project focused on better supporting college students with caregiving responsibilities for children under the age of 18. She has worked as an instructor, researcher, educational developer, and faculty support specialist in both college and university contexts for over 17 years and holds a PhD in English and Cultural Studies from McMaster University.

Since April 2015, Megan has worked at Mohawk College coordinating the design and delivery of a wide range of initiatives and research projects related to student success, access, and retention. As a trained teacher with a Masters of Education in Administration and Leadership, Megan synthesizes her experience teaching in public and post-secondary education with her passion for student affairs to support the Centre’s operations and research projects in her role as Research and Special Projects Coordinator. Megan is always excited to connect with those interested in learning more about the innovative work and research the Centre is leading!
