Dr. Tracy Ryder Glass has been selected Vice-Provost Academic at the University of the Fraser Valley.<\/p>\n

Ryder Glass has served as UFV\u2019s Dean of Professional Studies<\/a> since 2014.<\/p>\n

She holds six degrees, including a BA in Sociology and Hons. BA in Criminology, a BEd and Ontario teaching certificate, a Bachelor of Laws and membership with the Law Society of Upper Canada, a Master of Laws with a focus on conflict resolution, and a PhD in Higher Education with a specific focus on post-secondary leadership.<\/p>\n

Ryder Glass steps into a Vice-Provost\u2019s role previously held by Dr. Peter Geller, now Interim Dean of the Faculty of Applied and Technical Studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cDr. Ryder Glass has proven herself to be an invaluable member of UFV\u2019s senior administration team for the past seven years, and we are extremely grateful to welcome her knowledge and wisdom into the important role of Vice-Provost Academic,\u201d says Provost and VP Academic James Mandigo.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe has excelled at every level, and her contributions will be integral as UFV continues engaging learners, transforming lives, and building community.<\/p>\n

Known for her ability to maximize opportunities within policy while building authentic relationships, Ryder Glass was drawn to her new position largely because of its alignment with her own core values \u2014\u00a0ensuring the learning needs and goals of students are being met. This includes an institutional presence of Indigenous ways of knowing weaved throughout curriculum and ever-present in the minds of educators connected to UFV\u2019s diverse student body and community partners.<\/p>\n

As Vice-Provost Academic, Ryder Glass will lead the development of UFV\u2019s new Strategic Enrolment Management Plan, focus on supporting opportunities and redressing barriers for life-long learning, and oversee external partnership opportunities, policy development, and renewal.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m honoured to have this opportunity to bring my skills and experience into this position while building upon the accomplishments of Dr. Geller,\u201d says Ryder Glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an enormous opportunity to help transform the lives of learners while forming a stronger, more inclusive future for generations to come. I can\u2019t wait to contribute through the work that lies ahead.\u201d<\/p>\n

While excited for the opportunities and challenges awaiting with her new role, Ryder Glass admits the transition is somewhat bittersweet, thanks to a deep connection with the faculty, staff, and students involved with UFV\u2019s Faculty of Professional Studies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve thoroughly enjoyed my time as Dean,\u201d she says, \u201cand I\u2019m truly proud of the commitment our Faculty has all shown in putting our students at the centre of what we do.\u201d<\/p>\n

Away from academia, Ryder Glass \u2014 a former national-level mountain biker \u2014 enjoys time exploring the region with her family.<\/p>\n

She will continue as Dean until the end of September, when an interim Dean will be appointed.<\/p>\n
