Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolElisa Schaeffer is a technology leader and educator with over a decade of experience bridging research, teaching, and institutional technology leadership across Canada, Mexico, and Finland. Currently Dean of Technology at Collège LaSalle and formerly an associate professor and department chair at McGill SCS, she combines deep academic credentials (D.Sc. in Computer Science) with hands-on research in complex networks and UX for AR. Known as a tinkerer and servant-leader, she focuses on extracting insight from data and finding the simplest, most efficient improvements to systems and teams. Her career path organically traverses the full higher-education skill stack—teaching undergrads to advising postdocs—so she brings both administrative savvy and empathy to change initiatives. Unafraid to “break things” to understand them, she pairs disciplined facilitation with a curiosity-driven approach to technology and pedagogy.
