Department Vice Chairs & Advocates

As part of our plans to enhance Collaborative Excellence within each organizational unit and at every level at YSM, departments have a representative Vice chair or Advocate for Collaborative Excellence (ACE). They are instrumental in engaging their departmental colleagues to promote our efforts throughout the school.
