Catherine Carlucci

Academic Advisor, Child and Youth Studies

Catherine has been part of the Brock community since 2015, graduating from the Concurrent Education program in 2021 and has been an Academic Advisor in various departments for the past 2 years. Catherine is passionate about approaching advising from a holistic perspective to ensure that the student experience is balanced in all facets- academic, emotional, physical, social and the list goes on! When she is not working, Catherine is probably baking chocolate chip cookies, partaking in a new DIY project, or reading! She has always loved the CHYS community as a past student and looks forward to meeting with you all in the future.

Lindsay Cramp

Lindsay has been a member of the Brock community (and more specifically, CHYS!) since 2005 … from being a student, to Teaching Assistant, to Course Facilitator and now as one of your Academic Advisors. Lindsay is passionate about CHYS and Student Success! When she is not working, you will either find Lindsay cheering her kids on at their various extra curricular activities or curled up on the couch with her pups, a delicious coffee and a great book. She looks forward to working with you and supporting you as you strive to meet your academic goals.
