Pat Pearson

Pat Pearson is a master trainer, facilitator, and Inter-Actor with Wunjo IS. Pat joined the staff in the Cinema Television Stage and Radio Program (CTSR) at SAIT in 1975 where he taught radio, news presentation and speech for 20 years. After an additional 8 years in administration in various roles from student liaison through coordinator of several programs and finally instigating the Prior Learning Assessment and Recognition Program, Pat retired from SAIT only to be called back as Interim Dean of the Centre for Academic Learner Services (CALS) in 2005 followed by another stint as Director of the Centre for Technical and Instructional Development (CITD). It was during that final placement that Pat became a Master Facilitator and continues to facilitate at SAIT and U of C on an “as needed” basis. Pat and Michelle (above) have also facilitated post-secondary educators in Kazakhstan. Pat also continues to work as a Standardized Patient for the Medical Program and the Veterinary Medicine Program at U of C – as well as WunjoIS, of course!
