Welcome! My name is Donna Henson and I’m the Associate Dean for Student Affairs and Service Quality (SASQ) in the Faculty of Society & Design (FSD). Working closely with Babu Howlader, Manager for Student Affairs and Service Quality, our Faculty SASQ Office provides a key point of contact to all FSD students as they navigate the complexities of enrolment, progression, examination, and graduation during their time at Bond.
