Congratulations on this initiative, Elaine! It looks very exciting, and
I know that Amanda will contribute wonderfully to its success. Anyone
who knows Amanda will appreciate how much the Centre for Academic
Writing has benefited from her energy, collegiality, and commitment to
teaching and learning. She has played a huge role in the development of
the CAW over the past dozen years. I know I speak on behalf of all the
faculty and staff at CAW in wishing her the best in this new
opportunity. We will miss her very much.
All the best,
Judith

can
imagine, we are very, very pleased at having someone of Amanda's
calibre
join us as we prepare to launch the Student Learning Commons service at
SFU.
Best,
Elaine
