Azra Khan, Pedagogical Counsellor in the Office of Academic Development at Dawson College. Her leadership and behind-the-scenes dedication to academic excellence, inclusive pedagogy, and sustainable practices make her a linchpin in the Dawson community and beyond.

Azra supports new teachers through Dawson’s New Faculty Orientation and Integration Program and continues to accompany them in developing pedagogical strategies and pursuing professional development. Her role expands across the college as co-chair of the Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, and Accessibility (EDIA) Working Group and as a member of the Strategic Plan Steering Committee, where her input contributes to Dawson’s institutional priorities.

Her influence reaches the broader CEGEP network through active roles with Performa, AQPC, SALTISE (as a conference planning member), and Intercollegiate Ped Days.
