Hi everyone! I am looking forward to being part of this community. My name is Tim Leonard. I am an Associate Professor in the Academic Literacy and Linguistics Department. I am most interested in learning about using the Open Lab platform in ways that will help me to engage students, and be part of contributing to the academic community. In my role, I am an advocate for literacy development, and I am constantly encouraging my students to see the value in reading on a regular basis. That said, I need to read more for personal enjoyment! I also love music – I can’t play anything, but I enjoy going to concerts and also organizing events throughout the year!
