Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 1 FACULTY’S HISTORY In 1933, a Director of Recreation position was created at the University of Manitoba. It was not until 1950, however, that a Department of Physical Education, Recreation and Athletics was established. The purpose of this unit was to provide physical education courses for the various schools and faculties and to direct, organize and supervise the intramural and intercollegiate athletic programs. In February 1964, the Senate of the University approved the establishment of a three-year program leading to the Bachelor of Physical Education degree. In June 1966, the status of School of Physical Education was achieved. Senate approved the establishment of a Master of Physical Education degree program in May 1979. This degree is offered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies. Senate approved a Bachelor of Recreation Studies degree in April 1981 and Faculty status was achieved in May 1982. In 1992, the Faculty established the Health, Leisure and Human Performance Research Institute to facilitate, conduct and disseminate research of the highest quality in the areas of human movement and leisure studies, in order to contribute to an enhanced understanding of health and human performance. In 1990, the Master of Physical Education was changed to the Master of Science. In the spring of 1998, a four-year degree program (the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science), a revised three-year BPE degree and a Master of Arts in Recreation Studies were approved by the Council on Post- Secondary Education (COPSE). Students entering the BESS degree program would choose to specialize in one of three streams: Exercise and Sport Science; Physical Activity, Health and Wellness; or Athletic Therapy. The Canadian Athletic Therapists Association (CATA) accredited the Athletic Therapy Program in September 2000, making the AT program one of only five accredited programs in Canada. In September 2004, the degree designation of the Bachelor of Recreation Studies was changed to the Bachelor of Recreation Management and Community Development. In December 2005, Senate approved the recommendation to change the name of the Bachelor of Exercise and Sport Science degree (BESS) to the Bachelor of Kinesiology degree (BKin) effective October 2006. In December 2006, Senate approved a revised undergraduate curriculum that began in September 2007. Students in all three degree programs (BPE, BKin, BRMCD) complete shared core courses as well as core courses specific to their degree program, and a variety of electives. Activity courses were replaced with new Experiential Learning Courses (ELC) that combine theory and practice in a variety of program related settings. For BKin and BRMCD students courses are packaged as “areas of emphasis.” The transition to the revised curriculum was completed in 2009-2010. In May 2006, COPSE approved a multi-unit research-based Ph.D. in Applied Health Sciences at the University of Manitoba effective September 2007. The four participating academic units are: Nursing, Kinesiology and Recreation Management, Human Ecology and Medical Rehabilitation. In March 2007, the Board of Governors approved the recommendation to change the name of the Faculty to the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management, effective July 1, 2007. Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management 2009-2010 Annual Report… page 2 DEAN’S FOREWORD Dr. Jane Watkinson, Dean Welcome to the Faculty of Kinesiology and Recreation Management Annual report. We are delighted to be able to share our activities in Research, Academic programs, Bison Sport, and Active Living with our friends and readers. The Faculty has continued its strategic planning processes within many of its units, leading to new ideas for our future. These processes, and the new personnel that have joined us this year, are charged with moving us towards our vision of being known for our excellence in research and teaching, high performance sport, and recreation service. New staff in the professoriate, in administration and in direct service, help us to constantly question ourselves, our assumptions, our practices and our processes. It is an exciting undertaking! We have continued to attract many undergraduate FKRM’s Dean, Dr. Jane Watkinson (centre), with and graduate students to our programs.
