Heather supports the Department Head and the Administrative Manager as well as the Chair of Clinical Faculty Affairs. In this capacity, any departmental tasks not handled by others will fall to Heather, and if she cannot answer your questions, she will probably know who can. She takes and maintains the minutes of the departmental executive meetings, orders supplies and stationery, handles room bookings and equipment rentals for meetings held in OS&OT space, and assists staff and faculty with booking space overseen by other facilities and institutions. She develops and modifies graphics for web and print, and handles event management details. Heather keeps the mailing list updated, is the editor of the departmental newsletter, and assists with other communications such as the annual report, our website and social media pages. As the departmental financial clerk, Heather is the go-to person for most invoicing and reimbursement queries. She also assists in the administrative tasks around staff, faculty, and clinical faculty appointment, reappointment, promotion, and tenure.
