Many institutions and individuals are expressing interest in more involvement with the Ontario College of Art & Design (OCAD). In Sketch, you will read about our first-ever behind-the-scenes event, Look Inside, which attracted many parents, students, neighbours, visitors and friends. All were delighted to experience OCAD as a working campus.

Since my arrival, we have initiated and strengthened program development and research ties with our close neighbours, the and the , as well as universities and cultural centres else- FROM THE PRESIDENT where in Canada and abroad. Such initiatives promise to inject OCAD with new resources, extend our reach and capacity, and develop new expertise within our own environment. We, in turn, will significantly enhance the university and cultural sectors in Toronto and beyond. We have achieved recognition as a research institution through the Canadian Foundation for Innovation, opening the door to significant infrastructure funds. We have sent Katherine Shailer, Dean, Faculty of Liberal Studies, to China with the Ontario Trade Mission, in order to broaden OCAD’s horizons.

I joined OCAD at a time of record provincial-government support for universities. Designed to elevate quality and increase access to education, “Reaching Higher: The McGuinty Plan for Post-Secondary Education” will be extremely important in improving OCAD’s capability immediately and in the future.

In early November, VP Academic Sarah McKinnon and I had the pleasure of meeting with the Honourable Christopher Bentley, Minister of Training, Colleges & Universities. We discussed many of OCAD’s recent and planned improvements to the quality of the educational experience ON CAMPUS we provide our students. We highlighted initiatives such as recent faculty hires, our new student-services building, our focus on low student/faculty ratios, our plans to stimulate dialogue among and within the faculties of Art, Design and Liberal Studies, our support for diversity and equity at OCAD and our plans for graduate studies and research. We intend to enhance the quality of current academic programs and expose students to new fields of knowledge.

With more than 3,500 students now enrolled, OCAD is the most compre- hensive art and design university in Canada and one of the largest on the continent. Our focused mission and intense, experiential learning environment encourage aesthetic and critical invention to a degree that is rare in less-concentrated university environments. In discussions with government, we continue to reinforce the value OCAD brings to Ontario, and our potential to be among the world’s best.

Late in November, I shared a road map for OCAD’s strategic planning with our internal community, kicking off a period of important institutional planning. Central to the process ahead will be engagement with all levels of OCAD, including members of the Board of Governors, students, faculty, staff and alumni, along with expert advisors from outside of our institution. My goal is that OCAD explore the future role of universities and cultural institutions and gain a vision of art, design and creativity, and their relation- ship to the larger society. We will carry that vision into OCAD’s present and near-future capacity. From this process, we will emerge with an updated mission statement; an understanding of student profiles and needs; goals for curriculum development; a research plan; a master plan for our physical and virtual institution; and an enhanced sense of core partners now and in future.

This is a very exciting moment at the Ontario College of Art & Design. We are moving quickly to a new threshold in post-secondary education. We have the capacity to set a world standard. You are our community and our partners. I invite you to contribute every way you can.
