Overview

Overview

I strive to create a caring, compassionate, and genuine atmosphere where students feel safe and free to be exactly who they are. I believe that learning flourishes when students are supported, inspired, and truly seen.

I believe this begins when all voices are heard, when students learn from each other, and when they can contribute to the lesson. Each student brings unique experiences that enrich the learning process and offer different perspectives on various lessons. When students feel encouraged and safe to share their thoughts, they gain the opportunity to understand diverse viewpoints. Each student has unique gifts to offer in their chosen field and something valuable to contribute to the world.

Adler University provides a belonging environment where students can thrive, stand up for their beliefs, and engage with different perspectives with curiosity rather than judgment. And I am elated to begin learning from and growing alongside the students at Adler University.

Vancouver Campus

Adler University in Vancouver has been, like Canada itself, born and built with an open mind. Located in the midst of one of the world’s most exciting and breathtaking cities, Adler University reflects a true Canadian spirit. It’s smart, inclusive and determined to make a world of difference. By design, our Vancouver campus echoes the Adler values and intent down every hall and in every room. It is built to live, breathe and inspire those with the passion to pursue a more just society. This is where the work gets done.

At Adler Vancouver, you’ll find multiple collaborative areas with the absolute latest technology. Learning areas and windows have literally been situated to stimulate thought. To some, that may sound odd, but these things do matter. If students are given the space, opportunity and technology to achieve their goals, they are more likely to rock the boat of conventional thought.
