Mariam Raza

Higher education leader with a decade of experience advancing global engagement, academic operations, and learner‑centred program design. I specialize in building strategic internationalization models, leading cross‑functional teams, and strengthening the systems that support student success, institutional growth, and global partnerships. My work is shaped by a global perspective from having lived and worked in Canada, Singapore, India, and the UAE, and grounded in a commitment to inclusive, culturally responsive, and student‑centred education. I bring strategic clarity, operational excellence, and a collaborative leadership style to every role. At the University of Guelph, I lead international recruitment within the Office of Registrarial Services, working across campus and with global partners to design and implement a data‑informed, student‑centred approach to internationalization. I hold a doctorate in Educational Leadership from Western University and a Master’s in Curriculum and
