TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER
TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER peyak aski kikawinaw Report to Donors 2014-2015 MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT T his past year was a landmark one for the University of Regina because we launched a new strategic plan. Entitled peyak aski kikawinaw, which in the Cree language means “We are one with Mother Earth,” this strategic plan is centred on the idea that “Together, we are stronger.” peyak aski kikawinaw has three main areas of priority: Student Success, Research Impact, and Commitment to Our Communities. In addition, it has two overarching themes – Indigenization and Sustainability – that will be central to our academic mission in the years to come. Over the past year, as donors you have made meaningful contributions to the University of Regina, and in doing so, you are helping us realize the objectives of our new strategic plan for the benefit of students and communities in Saskatchewan, across Canada, and around the world. As the University of Regina moves into the next phase of its development – with record enrolments, exciting new programs, and a strong vision for the future – we will continue working with our donors to educate the next generation of leaders in Saskatchewan and beyond. Dr. Vianne Timmons President and Vice-Chancellor The renewal of our historic College Avenue campus will remain a priority as we expand our outreach in the wider community. Developing new scholarships and bursaries will be critical as we work to make a University of Regina education accessible to everyone, including Canada’s Aboriginal students who have traditionally been underserved in our country’s education system. And we will do our utmost to ensure that we continue to have affordable tuition, relevant programs, and world-class facilities for our students. As a supporter of the University of Regina, you understand that “Together, we are stronger.” Thank you for belief in the University of Regina and our students. Report to Donors 2014-2015 1 STUDENT AID Aspiring students apply to the University of Regina in search of their dream of becoming a successful professional. Scholarships, awards and bursaries have made those dreams possible because of your generosity. Between May 2014 and April 2015, nearly 5,100 students were awarded more than $7 million in student support. You have ignited a passion for Aboriginal student support this past year by raising $75,050 in support for the Neekaneewak Leadership and Oma Program. Over 4,000 students have participated in and benefited from these programs. The students were able to experience mentorship and workshops to propel them forward through their academic career. The programs will continue to support and provide the tools necessary to cultivate our future leaders. THANK YOU! I rely on support to reduce my financial burdens and receiving assistance has allowed me to concentrate on my research. Your generosity has inspired me to help others by giving back to the community and I hope I will be able to help other students achieve their goals just as you have helped me. - Yan Zhang With not a lot of income coming in, the scholarship really helped to reduce student loan debt… it was a huge burden off our shoulders. Donating to the University gives mature adults going back to school an opportunity where there may not have been one before financially. - Marie Hyde (& Daughter), Undergraduate Student, Faculty of Arts Report to Donors 2014-2015 2 THE COLLEGE AVENUE CAMPUS RENEWAL PROJECT Our vision for the renewal of our College Avenue Campus is ambitious – to build upon the legacy left to us by the citizens of our province more than a century ago. It has remained an important part of the economic, educational, and cultural life of our province, and will continue to do so with generous support from our donors. Please help us continue to provide programming in the heart of Regina. This place is incredible. Everyone would benefit from a renewed College Avenue Campus. Daylene Sliz, Student, Centre for Continuing Education College Avenue Campus, 1911 Report to Donors 2014-2015 3 WHY WE GIVE This campus helped us to settle our lives in Regina. I felt it was time for us to give back. - Renu Kapoor A donation to the University of Regina will help revitalize the campus to a space that inspires students to create, grow and develop. - Margaret Anne Hodges Education in general is extremely important not only to the individuals who are educated but their ability to play a constructive role in society. - Dr. Bev Robertson A donation was a way for me to invest in my future but also the future of other students coming to the University. - Olivia Arnal Undergraduate Student, Faculty of Business Administration Report to Donors 2014-2015 4 YOUR DONATIONS IMPROVE OUR UNIVERSITY The programming affects everything from the conservatory, to people who are 6 years old, to the lifelong learning centre, to people who are 90 years plus. The community connection is really strong on campus. - Neil Paskewitz Director of Planning, Design and Construction At the University of Regina we excel in research impact and international research collaborations and we are ranked number one in the category among comprehensive universities. - Dr. David Malloy Vice-President (Research) Report to Donors 2014-2015 5 YOUR GIFTS MAKE A DIFFERENCE Scholarships have helped my academic pursuit by allowing me to focus on my studies. - Austin Rosom Undergraduate Student, Faculty of Engineering & Applied Science The scholarships I have received have helped me to focus on my research and TA work. - Oscar Vila Graduate Student, Faculty of Kinesiology & Health Studies Report to Donors 2014-2015 6 NEW AWARDS • Award for Advanced Investigations in Health and Well Being • Award for Advanced Investigations in Science and Technology • Award for Advanced Investigations in Society and the Human Condition • Against The Odds: Faculty of Nursing Dean’s Awards • Association of Exploration Geochemists Scholarship in Geology • Johnson-Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy Robertson Scholarship • Biology Undergraduate and Graduate Society Graduate Scholarship • Brian Leipert Rams Awards • Charles Bruce McPherson Bursary • Charles Bruce McPherson First Nations University of Canada Bursary • CIC Aboriginal Bursary • Co-operators Life Insurance Company Actuarial Science Award • Crystal Heisler McGregor Memorial Award • Douglas and Margaret Cuddington Scholarship in Kinesiology and Health Studies • Douglas and Margaret Cuddington Scholarship in The Faculty of Business Administration • Douglas and Margaret Cuddington Scholarship in The Faculty of Science • Dr. Allan Smith Chemistry Scholarship • Dr. Bonnie Dupont Women Inspiring Leadership Award • Dr. Jack Mollard Sensing the Earth Scholarship • Dr. Sheila Dresen Prize in Nursing • Faculty of Nursing Dean’s Medal • Faculty of Social Work Dean’s Medal Rick Uhrich was a friend of so many people, and education was very important to him.
