Faculty Advisors
Present
Lynn McCaughey
Lynn is almost a native of Victoria, having migrated from Vancouver across the duck pond to attend UVic, well, many seasons ago now. She is the holder of a degree in English, with additional specialized training in assessment and career development. Her career has spanned a number of sectors and a number of different roles, but all her work has involved the themes of working with people in an educative context and working with people who are in personal or career transition. She is presently a Career Educator with UVic's Career Services unit, a position she has held for over 12 years. In that capacity Lynn goes one on one with approximately 600 individuals each year, helping them make the transition from school to summer or post degree work. She also delivers workshops all over campus whenever requested (she will even speak to the rabbit population). Lynn is the mother of a 20 year old daughter who is also a student here at UVic and she shares her home with 3 demanding cats.

She is also the second violin in the world-famous Lafayette String Quartet, who have been artists-in-residence at the University of Victoria since 1991. As one music critic wrote, "The Lafayette Quartet is certainly one of the many ensembles with fine sound, excellent intonation and crackerjack ensemble precision, but what sets them apart is a level of musical insight that is reserved to very few ensembles."
