CEGEP JOHN ABBOTT COLLEGE • ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 1 Minister Jean-François Roberge Minister of Education and Higher Education Government of Québec Minister Roberge, On behalf of the Board of Governors and the entire John Abbott College community, we are pleased to provide you with the Annual Report for the 2018-2019 academic year. Our College had another excellent year, and with the increased government investment in our CEGEP network, we look forward to many more years of student and institutional success. Here are some key accomplishments. • The quality of our academic programs and student services remain very strong. Our student applications and enrollment keep us at our maximum capacity and our student success results remain excellent. • We received a very positive evaluation from the Commission d’évaluation de l’enseignement collégiale (CEEC) on the quality of our programs, student success and strategic plans. • Our rigorous fiscal management has allowed us, once again, to deliver a financial surplus. This is essential for us to continue the extensive renovations of our beautiful but aging facilities. • To correct our floor-space deficit, your ministry agreed to fund the initial assessment project to see if we can cost- effectively renovate Brittain Hall (an abandoned McGill University building on our campus). • The work atmosphere at the College continues to be positive. Our employee survey shows that 92% of our employees would recommend John Abbott College as a place to work to their family and friends. • We also successfully launched our two new College Centres for Technology Transfer (CCTT-JACOBB in artificial intelligence; CCTT-CERASP in pharmaceutical production). At the governance level, the Board of Governors also made significant steps forward. • We continued to pilot new board sub-committees, and trained all board members to enhance engagement and facilitate transparent governance. • We approved two new policies (Policy 24 - Concerning the Prevention of Sexual Violence and the Promotion of a Culture of Consent at John Abbott College; Policy 25 - Concerning the Reimbursement of Travel, Hospitality and Representation Expenses). • We revised seven existing by-laws and policies: By-Law 4 – Concerning College Admissions; By-law 9 - Concerning the Management of Procurement, Service and Construction Work Contracts; Policy 3 - Concerning the Audit Committee and the Evaluation of Financial Information and External Auditor; Policy 4 - Concerning Psychological Harassment, Abuse of Power and Violence; Policy 7 - Institutional Policy on the Evaluation of Student Achievement; Policy 8 - Conflicts of Interest for College Employees; Policy 12 - Evaluation of Teaching. • In addition, we assessed the 45 risks identified by the UPAC Unité( permanente anti-corruption). None of the successes listed above, and the many more described in this document, would have been possible without the continued dedication of the employees and the entire College community. The John Abbott College family continues to remain focused on contributing to student success. We have and will continue to do great things for our students. Respectfully, Guylaine Audet John Halpin Chair of the Board of Governors Director General 2 CEGEP JOHN ABBOTT COLLEGE • ANNUAL REPORT 2018-2019 MISSION STATEMENT WE ARE COMMITTED TO: Founded in 1971, Learning Quality Students John Abbott College is • Foster in our stu- • Provide well-rounded • Cultivate a safe, caring the only English language dents the ability to and balanced pre-uni- and challenging learn- CEGEP in the West make and articulate versity and career pro- ing environment that Island of Montreal.
