Meet the Administrative and Executive Teams of the BUAHS

Dr. Andrew Webster
Vice Principal, Academic and Research

After living and working for more than two decades in Australia, Dr. Andrew Webster has returned to his native Eastern Townships and been installed as the Vice-Principal Academic and Research at Bishop’s since August 2022. Most recently he served as the Dean of Academic Operations for the College of Arts, Business, Law and Social Sciences at Murdoch University in Perth, Australia. Before that, he occupied the posts of Dean of the School of Social Sciences and Humanities, Deputy Dean of the School of Business and Governance, Dean of the Murdoch University International Study Centre Dubai, and Associate Dean (Learning and Teaching) in the School of Arts at the same institution.

As an historian of the politics, diplomacy and international relations of modern Europe, his research focuses on the period between the two world wars and the linked themes of international disarmament and the rise and fall of the League of Nations. He obtained a PhD in History from the University of Cambridge in 2001 and holds a master’s from the same institution, and a Bachelor of Arts from Harvard University.

Danika Lambert
Co-lead of the BUAHS

Danika is a fourth-year applied psychology major from Sherbrooke, QC. She initially joined the Honours Society in her third year, and eager to be more involved, she joined the executive team as treasurer. This year, she has decided to take on a bigger commitment as co-lead of the society. Being in her last year at BU, Danika is aiming to go to grad school in a PsyD program, in the hopes of becoming a psychologist.

Veronica Mongiardo
Co-lead of the BUAHS

Veronica is a third-year student completing a Double Major in Secondary Education and English, with an Honours in Literature and a Minor in Sociology. As a recipient of the Chancellor’s Excellence Scholarship and two Undergraduate Prizes (from the English Department in 2018-2019 & the Education Department in 2019-2020), Veronica has placed an enormous significance on her academic success and achievements. She has taken up several positions on campus, such as a research assistantship with Dr. Linda Morra, a Tomlinson internship with the Research and Graduate Studies Office, a teacher’s assistantship with Professor Marlene Canuel, and an editing position for The Mitre’s 2020-2021 edition. Veronica is currently working to complete her B.E.S.T Project Fund – awarded in 2020 – which involves her travel to Northern Quebec (Nunavik) to receive and transcribe stories from Inuit men and women, which will later be collected in a text titled Voices of the North. After the completion of her undergraduate degree, Veronica wishes to continue her studies in graduate school, pursuing a career in Canadian Literature in the hopes of researching how the literary works originating from this country – by authors from various diasporas and ethnicities – echo, as well as etch, the sociological, historical and cultural realities from which they erupt.

Shayne MacDonald
VP of Alumni Relations

Shayne is a third-year student from Montreal pursuing a B.A. with a double major in Management and Sports Studies. When he graduates at the end of this year, he hopes to pursue his master’s degree, but if not, he will enter the field of Sports Management. Outside of school, his major interest is of course anything related to sports.
