Suzanne Curtin
Vice-Provost and Dean
Suzanne joined the Brock FGSPA family in July 2020 from the University of Calgary. She started her academic journey at McGill in Linguistics, after re-directing her path as a hairdresser, and completed her PhD in Psycholinguistics in Southern California. She enjoys travelling, VQA wines and catering to her little turkey, Cooper.

Cooper
Suzanne’s sidekick
At five years old, Cooper is a small bundle of joy, loved by the FGSPA team. He loves watching birds, walking his humans and is an aspiring supermodel.

Brian Roy
Associate Dean
Brian joined FGSPA shortly after Suzanne in August 2020. He began his career at Brock twenty years ago as an Assistant Professor in Kinesiology and has had a wide array of research, teaching and administrative positions.
