Office of the Dean
Dr. Lisa Rochman, Dean
PhD, MA, BA
Dr. Rochman was appointed Dean of the School of Continuing Education on June 5, 2023. Before joining MacEwan University, she held the positions of Vice Dean and Associate Dean in the Faculty of Skills and Foundational Learning at NorQuest College. Dr. Rochman has a doctorate and master’s degree in linguistics from Ben Gurion University in Israel, as well as an undergraduate degree from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
With a focus on both credit and non-credit education and skills training, Dr. Rochman is an advocate for impactful and accessible education. She places great value on collaboration and partnerships with community organizations and post-secondary institutions. Her recent initiatives have centered around developing customizable educational pathways aimed at upskilling and empowering participants to obtain employment commensurate with their skills and experience.
As Dean of the School of Continuing Education, Dr. Rochman holds the responsibility of shaping the academic and administrative direction of continuing education. This encompasses engaging in collaborations with internal and external stakeholders, conducting needs assessments, establishing strong partnerships with community and industry and implementing processes that empower students and promote engagement and success.
Eaman Mah was appointed Interim Associate Dean on May 1, 2021. She was previously the Program Lead/Head Instructor for the English as an Additional Language (EAL) department. Eaman has extensive experience teaching EAL internationally in Japan and domestically in Canada.
Eaman has taught at MacEwan University since 1996. She started teaching part time evening classes, moved to full time day classes as a sessional instructor, and finally after going back to university to earn a master’s degree in TESL from the University of Alberta, she became a tenured instructor in 2010. Reaching this point was a long journey, and perhaps not much different from the many students in her classes.
By increasing students’ proficiency levels in reading, writing, listening, and speaking, Eaman also increases their self-confidence, and helps them reach their next goals. Welcoming immigrants and empowering them with competent English skills will strengthen our economy and enrich our communities.
Eaman was honoured to win a Distinguished Teaching Award in 2021.
