Between 2007‑2010, Dr. Alison Hayford served as Head of the Department of Visual Arts. Her passionate advocacy for that department, as well as for the Faculty of Fine Arts as whole, led her to take on the role of Associate Dean Undergraduate from 2009‑2010. Results of Dr. Hayford's tireless work at the departmental and faculty levels of her temporarily adopted homes, continue to be felt despite her return to Sociology and Social Studies.
