His vision and leadership helped shape the department into what it is today.<\/p>\n<p>He has worn many hats over his 29 years at UFV. He served several terms as Department Head for the Math and Stats Department, was Acting Dean of Science, Acting Director of Research, Acting Director of the School of Land Use and Environmental Change and chaired many committees.\u00a0 He&#8217;s been a leader and ambassador for the Department of Mathematics and Statistics, the Faculty of Science, and the university as a whole.
