Jessica Bailey, Graduate Student Support Strategist
Jessica's dedication to supporting the growing graduate student community at UTM and the initiative she has taken to build relationships across the tri-campuses that have strengthened ISUP/RGASC’s visibility among graduate students made her the ideal fit for the Staff Award for Community Partnership Development. Her work requires building and maintaining relationships across UofT campuses. Recently, Jessica redesigned the Program for Accessing Research and Training (PART) to ensure that graduate students had an opportunity to gain teaching experience. She did this while ensuring that students received the training and support they required for success. For these reasons, she was most deserving of this year's award.
