Susan
Elliott
McMaster Dean of Social Sciences
If you ask Susan Elliott to give one piece of advice toward road to success,
her response would be "never say no to an opportunity- as sometimes
we are presented with opportunities we are too timid to take up, and we
often don't see skills or talents in ourselves that others see."
As a mother of two daughters, a professor, a geographer, and now taking
on the new role as Dean of Social Science in McMaster, Susan is one of
the few female senior administrators in Canadian Universities. A great
supporter for innovative teaching and initiative to integrate health and
social sciences by the end of her term as the Dean, Susan has proven how
one can succeed by leading by example-being an active researcher in a
faculty where research is essential.
