She was also involved in New Academic Staff Induction, staff development for multimodal teaching and learning, programme review and evaluation and the Teaching and Learning Conference.

Shubnam has recently become responsible for Student Development in the Faculty of Accounting and Informatics and coordinates the First Year Student Experience (FYSE), Senior Year Student Experience (SYSE), Academic Advising, Tutorial and Design Thinking programmes in the faculty.
