New associate VP understands UWindsor student experience

“One of our sons is coming home,” provost Douglas Kneale said Tuesday in announcing the appointment of UWindsor alumnus Ryan Flannagan (BA political science 2000) as the University’s inaugural associate vice-president, student experience.

Flannagan, who will take up his new post July 1, has been director of student affairs at Carleton University since 2008. He had previously worked for nine years in the federal public service in the Department of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs, the Privy Council Office, Indian Residential Schools Resolution Canada and Health Canada, where he spent two years as national manager for addiction programs.

Dr. Kneale invited members of the campus community to offer Flannagan support as he returns to his alma mater to take on this important leadership role.
