Dr. Betina Appel Kuzmarov has been appointed as Associate Vice-President (International) for a five-year term effective July 1, 2022. Betina currently serves as the chair of Carleton\u2019s Department of Law and Legal Studies, where she has been a faculty member since 2006. She previously served as Clerk of Carleton\u2019s Senate, and Associate Dean (Students and Enrolment) in the Faculty of Public Affairs. She also served as one of four co-chairs for the university\u2019s current Strategic Integrated Plan. A trained lawyer, her research interests lie in the area of international law, as well as law and religion. Her research and training all focus on aspects of international law or transnational legal issues. In addition to her legal background, she brings practical understanding of the value of international mobility, having been both an international student and an international visiting scholar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Betina will succeed Dr. Karen Schwartz, who has successfully completed four years in this position. Along with the Advisory Committee on Internationalization, Karen developed an International Strategic Plan<\/a> to map a course to our further enhanced global ambitions. She currently co-chairs the Centre for Community Engagement\u2019s Strategic Planning Task Force and the Carleton committee overseeing the Carnegie Classification for Community Engagement application, and has previously served on the task force guiding the university\u2019s Strategic Integrated Plan. We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude to Karen for the outstanding contributions that she has made to Carleton throughout her career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to extend our sincere thanks to everyone who assisted and provided advice during the selection processes for both of these important appointments. Please join us in congratulating Maria and Betina on their appointments!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
