Academic Advisor

As the Academic Advisor at Traill College, I am here to help undergraduate students clarify their academic goals, decide which courses to take, understand academic regulations and degree requirements, connect with the services they need and, ultimately, take charge of their own education. As part of a larger team of Academic Advisors at Trent, we want to create an on-going educational partnership between advisor and advisee that is dedicated to student learning, development, and success. 

I’ve been at Trent since 2012 when I started my undergraduate degree in Mathematics in the Teacher Education Stream. During my undergraduate degree I worked in residence life for three years which solidified the fact that I wanted to work with post-secondary students instead of becoming a teacher (It’s OK to change your mind as students and to alter your path!). I then went on to complete my Master of Education at Trent while working in Recruitment and Admissions for 5 years. I loved working with prospective students and am even more thrilled now to be working with current students helping them navigate Trent! 

Sue Beckwith

Dr. Sue Beckwith

Academic Skills Instructor

I have been at Trent as a student many times, obtaining two bachelors’ and a master’s degree. I also have a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto. I believe in lifelong learning and recently completed a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language. I have been an Academic Skills Instructor at Trent for five years. 

As an Academic Skills Instructor, I support students’ efforts to improve and refine their skills for success at university. I provide appointments to help students with skills such as time management, taking notes during a lecture, and the complexities of the writing process. As well as working with undergraduate students, I present programming for graduate students at Traill College with skill-building workshops, motivational and community-building sessions, and writing events, such as the May Writing Retreat. Trent’s Academic Skills website is a first-stop resource for many students.

Community Concierge

It is with passion and persistence that I develop the Community Concierge Program for Recent Trent Graduates. This program is intended to fill the gap employers and job seekers are experiencing, particularly after the impacts of a pandemic.

In collaboration with the province, City of Kawartha Lakes, and Peterborough and the Kawarthas Economic Development, Trent University is providing a financially incentivized training program to improve graduates’ ability to identify their skills for the job market we now live in. We will facilitate networking and skills building opportunities through this partnership program via modules and live seminars with activities and community guests.

It is with enthusiasm that I utilize my 10 years experience in communications and community development to support these Recent Graduates enter the employment field while supporting our local organizations and businesses, with the common goal of social economic development. I joined our knowledgeable and personable Careerspace Team late May, and it is inspiring to engage and learn from such a dynamic team.
