We are excited when good things happen to our friends. When that friend is a member of DKG we are extremely happy. Dr. Lace Marie Brogden, Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada, has recently received a promotion to Dean of Education at Laurentian University in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. Congratulations to Lace from her 2004 Golden Gift Leadership Management Class.

"Laurentian University is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Lace Marie Brogden as the university’s Founding Dean of the Faculty of Education. Dr. Brogden’s appointment will be for a five-year renewable term, beginning July 1, 2016.

As Dean, Dr. Brogden will have responsibility for leading the two schools within the Faculty, the English-language School of Education and the French-language École des sciences de l’éducation. The Faculty currently includes more than 60 full- and part-time faculty, and a total of 780 students.

A respected academic and experienced administrator, Dr. Brogden has been Director of the Baccalaureate Program at the University of Regina’s Faculty of Education since 2010. Before joining the Faculty of Education, Dr. Brogden worked as Evaluation Coordinator in the Official Minority Language Office of Saskatchewan’s Ministry of Education. She also spent five years as a French Immersion teacher in Regina’s public school system. Dr. Brogden received a PhD from the University of Regina in 2007, and a Master of Arts in Education from San Diego State University in 1996. She completed her undergraduate degree, Baccalaureat en éducation élémentaire française, at the University of Regina in 1989.

"Through the new Faculty of Education, we aim to promote high-quality research, teaching and learning, while attracting outstanding students and faculty," said President and Vice-Chancellor Dominic Giroux. "We are delighted to welcome Dr. Brogden to this important new role at Laurentian and we look forward to the flourishing of these schools under her leadership."

"I am thrilled by the opportunity to work with both Schools in the Faculty of Education, which together serve such an important role in Northern Ontario," said Dr. Brogden. "It is a unique opportunity to work in French and in English, in both concurrent and consecutive B. Ed. programs, and I am excited by the prospects ahead."
