Good morning everyone, I am delighted to announce that Urooj Nizami will soon be joining the KPU community, as our new Open Education Strategist. Urooj comes to us from Temple University in Philadelphia, where she lead the institution’s Textbook Affordability Project<https://library.temple.edu/categories/textbook-affordability-pro… in her role as resident librarian. Urooj brings a strong commitment to social justice and inclusion in all of her work and recently presented at the Open Education Global Conference on her work on Open Pedagogy through Community-Directed, Student-Led Partnerships<https://openpraxis.org/~openprax/index.php/OpenPraxis/artic…43>. Urooj is excited to return home to Canada and discover a new coast with the guidance of her soon-to-be colleagues. Please join me in welcoming Urooj to our university community!
