Andrew Hartman (They/Them) is a proud queer, Métis individual born and raised here on Treaty Six Territory and the Homeland of the Métis.

Andrew’s thesis aimed at understanding the role of shame in undergraduate students' persistence and help-seeking behaviour. Presently, Andrew is pursuing their Ph.D. in Applied Social Psychology with their dissertation focusing on understanding the psychological processes of shame and disenfranchised grief in 2SLGBTQ survivors of traumatic gender-based violence. As a program evaluator, Andrew is currently evaluating OUTSaskatoon's queer housing program (i.e., Pride Home), OUTSaskatoon's gender-based violence prevention initiative. Andrew ambitiously takes on other projects which contribute directly to their PhD program outcomes, one of which is a lead role in the research and design of the CGPS' grad student onboarding platform (the grad hub). o  In addition to Andrew's program evaluation work, they sit on the Saskatchewan chapter for the Canadian Evaluation Society as the Secretary.

Lori Lisitza PMgr, CMgr MCIM
Executive Officer

A self-declared life-long learner, being surrounded by students on an academic journey was a natural fit for Lori. Fast forward from coding in MS-DOS, Lori found that she has a knack for project management and paired that with media brokerage and indie music album design. Lori went on to study business administration at Memorial University and USask with a particular interest in management earning chartered management credentials in both Canada and the UK. Lori wears ‘several hats’ within the College of Graduate & Postdoctoral Studies and as a member of the Dean’s leadership team, she brings leadership and development on all aspects of CGPS communications, leads a variety of strategic projects, and has oversight of key aspects of day-to-day operations. When not at work you will find Lori at the barn, with a pair of skates in the trunk and a yellow ribbon on the bumper in support of Canada's troops.
