   Dr. Jane Goodyer is the Dean of Lassonde School of Engineering at York University in Toronto, Canada, leading an inclusive community of engineers, scientists, and entrepreneurs. Before joining Lassonde in 2018, she held leadership roles at Massey University in New Zealand, where she launched the country’s first Degree Apprenticeship pilot. In 2023, she introduced Canada’s first fully work-integrated degree—the Digital Technologies program—offering a debt-free qualification while students are fully employed.
   A champion for accessible education, Jane founded Lassonde’s k2i academy, which collaborates with schools and industry to transform STEM learning. To date, k2i’s efforts have benefited over 150,000 students, teachers, families and community members, delivering more than 500,000 hours of inclusive learning experiences. With over $8.3 million in funding secured, k2i is committed to real change.
   Recognized for her impact, Jane received an Honorary Doctorate of Technology from Coventry University in 2023. As a first-generation learner, she is committed to breaking barriers and creating pathways for underrepresented groups in STEM.
