Kimberley McCausland appointed interim vice-provost, university planning
As interim vice-provost, university planning, Kimberley McCausland will support the provost in the development and implementation of TMU’s academic plan, as well as enrolment and budget planning.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Kimberley McCausland as interim vice-provost, university planning, effective Sept. 1, 2023.
With more than 23 years of experience in post-secondary institutional planning, Kimberley brings an incredible breadth of knowledge and expertise to the position. Most recently, Kimberley served as interim executive director of the University Planning Office (UPO) at Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). In that role, she led and supported work on the university’s annual budget development and implementation, as well as enrolment analysis, performance measurement and data analysis, academic costing initiatives, student surveys and a range of internal and external reporting activities.
As a passionate proponent of data and analysis, Kimberley sits on the Board of Directors for the Canadian University Survey Consortium, a group of Canadian universities that conduct surveys to gain a better understanding of undergraduate students. In her time with the consortium, Kimberley has chaired various working groups. She has also served as co-chair of the Professional Development Committee of the Council on University Planning and Analysis, a Council of Ontario Universities’ committee that provides leadership on matters related to universities’ planning and analysis functions.
Prior to joining TMU, Kimberley gained experience in the K-12 education sector. She holds a master of arts in sociology from Western University with a specialization in program and policy evaluation.
In addition to this leadership change, both the UPO and TMU Global have moved under my oversight as provost and vice-president, academic. Internationalization is an essential priority for the university and we are carefully considering the best strategy for advancing it.
I look forward to continuing to work closely with Kimberley and the UPO team as well as our colleagues at TMU Global in the months to come.
