It is with great pleasure I introduce the new Manager of Accessible Learning, Matt Rempel.
Today, Monday, April 29, is Matt’s first day at Sheridan.
Matt comes to us from the Government of Ontario, where he was the Special Advisor to the Chief Officer for Diversity and Accessibility in the Ontario Public Service.
In that role, Matt provided expert advice to the Chief Officer and led a team of accessibility experts to develop strategies, organizational change initiatives, and learning and accessibility programs for the Ontario Public Service with the objective of becoming an accessible employer, policy maker, and service provider.
Matt brings with him 10 years experience in leadership roles, leading teams ranging in size from two to 35, as a business owner and manager, in a voluntary capacity as a Vice President of a non-profit career college, and as elected Vice Chair of Tomorrow’s Ontario Public Service (TOPS), an employee network in the OPS with over 4,000 members. In addition, he worked for one year as a college instructor at Durham and has taken courses in adult learning and in educational programming for learners with disabilities.
Matt is a graduate of an Executive MBA program and earned an undergrad Economics degree from Queen’s University. He is passionate about innovative methods and emerging theories for learning that maximize the potential of technology and its role in the workplace.
He is eager to get started in his new role and begin building a career within post-secondary education. I think Matt will fit very well into our ALS, Student Services and the collective Sheridan Team.
Welcome Matt!
