Collaboration Across Universities and Across Borders

Centering Centers

In this episode of Centering Centers, guest host Derek Bruff talks with Jessica Riddell, professor of early modern literature and the Stephen A. Jarislowsky Chair of Undergraduate Teaching Excellence at Bishop’s University in Quebec, Canada. Jessica is also the executive director of the Maple League of Universities, which is not, in fact, a group of Canadian super-heroes, but rather a consortium of four small universities that have banded together to support quality undergraduate education. Jessica shares her journey into the field of educational development, how collaboration across institutions can support the missions of those institutions, what she’s learning in her new position on the board of directors of the American Association of Colleges and Universities, and how she manages to get so much stuff done in her week.
