Summary and Overview

Alice Mansell heads The Mansell Design Group (2002 – 2022), which provides Executive Coaching, Organizational Development and assistance to organizations wishing to design and implement new programs and new learning delivery models. Clients have included: Lakehead University Okanagan College, University of Manitoba, Cal State Hayward, University of Regina, Vancouver College of Art and Design, CANARIE. In addition she provides Board and Management development and support for young women in not-for-profit companies and mentorship for young female entrepreneurs in creative business ventures

She was Co Principal of Leading by Design (which operated from 2002 – 2012) focused on assisting post secondary organizations to develop executive, faculty and staff managers and teams and their collaborative processes to support innovation required to meet new markets and pressures. Clients include Okanagan College, University of Victoria, Kings College, McMaster University, University of Regina, University of British Columbia, Simon Fraser University, University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg, University of Northern BC, Saskatchewan Institute of Applied Sciences and Technology, Athabasca University, Vancouver Island University, University of the Fraser Valley, Thompson Rivers University, University of Calgary, University of Canadian Association of University Business Officers.

She led the design of National Workshop on eContent with support from the Departments of Heritage and Industry Canada through CANARIE, led the creation and design of the Advanced Research in Media program as well as the eContent Repository Project initiative to build programs, expertise and opportunities in the intersections of technology, arts, education and culture sectors. She was a member of the Content Innovation Subcommittee for the Department of Heritage’s Canadian Culture Online Initiative.

She was Chair of the Senior Steering Committee on eLearning, a member of the Senior Steering Committee on Econtent and a recent member of the Board of Directors of CANARIE, BCNet, New Media Innovation Center (NewMic), and in 1996 was selected as Woman of the Year (Education & Research) in Halifax.

Professor Alice Mansell was the founding Vice President, Academic of The Technical University of British Columbia (TechBC) from 1998 to 2002, when it was merged with Simon Fraser University.

During her tenure at TechBC, Professor Mansell led the design, planning, approval and development of Bachelor of Science, Masters of Applied Science and PhD programs in Interactive Arts (digital arts and design), Information Technology (computer science and engineering), and Management and Technology. This included:

  • Design and implementation of organizational teams, structures, policies and resources to realize effective delivery of programs based on innovative pedagogical, online and interdisciplinary principles.
  • Planning and recruitment of highly qualified and committed faculty, learning staff and learning support and learners, along with professional development programs to enable faculty, learning staff and managers to grow their expertise and effectiveness.
  • Industry and community support through Program Advisory Committees, public presentations, as well as participation on industry, government, and community boards and projects.

While President of the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, Alice led organizational restructuring projects, program reviews and curriculum revision coupled with achievement of substantially increased enrolments. This was accomplished while the college was forced to cope with a 25% reduction in provincial funding and build a sustainable budget process. These efforts and increased advocacy at Ministry and community levels resulted in the college being able to resist being merged with a larger university (the plans for the merger had been defined just prior to her appointment) and the loss of its signature studio-based programs. At the same time she was able to achieve the first significant funding from private sources for a New Media center and program, and for new faculty positions.

During her tenure as Chair of the Department of Visual Arts, at The University of Western Ontario, Alice Mansell led the department from a small program in derelict buildings threatened with closure to its current state. The Department of Visual Arts continues to enjoy international status for its unique graduate and undergraduate programs, its active faculty research profile, its high student demand, and for its position as a nexus for collaborations among other programs at the university and in community. During two consecutive terms she led:

  • the revision of the undergraduate program, including initiation of more diverse curriculum content to include indigenous and North American cultural and historical content.
  • the creation and funding of a new type of graduate program that capitalized on the intersections of studio, criticism and theory practices.
  • acquisition of a renewed and expanded faculty complement
  • tripling of enrollment
  • program collaborations with Faculty of Medicine, Engineering and Business, Fanshawe College and Beale Sr. Secondary.
  • establishment of Visual Arts Program Advisory Committee with arts and business leaders from across Canada and from the U.S.
  • funding and construction of the John Labatt Visual Arts Centre designed by Ray Moriyama

As Assistant Dean of Fine Arts and a member of Faculty in the Department of Art at the University of Calgary, she developed faculty research mentoring and funding programs, and interdisciplinary programs with Music, Dance, Theatre, English, Gender Studies, and Visual Art.

Professor Mansell maintained a research practice throughout which sought to explore the relation between learning and experience design in electronic environments with an international reputation as an artist in innovative, installation and electronic media. She also lectured widely on the relations among contemporary art theory, education, culture and technology.

She has built a reputation for building innovative learning models, programs and facilities for the arts and higher education across the country.

As an Artist Mansell has continually built her active studio practice using painting, drawing, costume and embroidery to explore and critique representations of gender, class, and authority. She has also worked extensively with dance and theatre artists to create costumes, sets, exhibitions and performances since 1980. She has exhibited in public and private galleries across Canada, the US, the UK, Germany, Austria, China and Japan.

Professor Mansell was born in Alberta and holds degrees from the University of Calgary and the University of British Columbia, and program certificates from University of Manitoba, the National Endowment for the Arts, and Harvard University.
