In late January, Providence hired a new professor to join its Psychology faculty. Brianne Collins, who currently teaches at Ambrose University in Calgary, will begin her new position on July 1.
“I was drawn to the community and connection that is clearly a vital part of life at Providence,” Collins says. “I also resonated deeply with the emphasis on Christian formation in a liberal arts context.”
Cameron McKenzie, Academic Dean of Providence, has described Collins as “the foremost Canadian scholar in her area of research: the history of psychosurgery.” McKenzie notes that the psychology program is a popular area of study at Providence and that it often serves as a first step for students pursuing a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology through the Providence Theological Seminary.
“I am delighted to join the faculty and community at Providence and contribute to the growing psychology program,” says Collins. “I am excited to arrive and get to know students, faculty, and staff!”
