“It's an exciting time in post-secondary education and in Manitoba in particular, said Rexe. I look forward to joining the team at Assiniboine Community College and working with students, staff, stakeholders and the community to pursue the college's vision of exceptional learning experiences.

“We’re looking forward to the capacity and experience Deanna will bring to our college,” said ACC President Mark Frison. “Among her near-term priorities include working with our staff, students and partners on our goal of doubling the number of graduates by 2025.”

Rexe will continue her applied research work and is enthusiastic about supporting the college’s capacity and engagement in applied research and technology transfer projects.
