Office of Institutional Research and Planning. UNDERGRADUATE RECRUITMENT Carleton campus for Campus Tours or Group Tours. General Campus Tours are offered Monday-Saturday at 10:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. and Group Tours are ar- ranged, upon request, for+ groups larger than five. The 2019-20 undergraduate recruitment season has begun. Our recruiters are planning to visit more than 600 high schools across the country to talk to pro- spective students. In addition, our high school outreach initiatives are continu- ing to expand with increased partnerships with faculty members and academic departments, collaboration with Ottawa school boards and initiatives targeted to high-achieving high school students. Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) The international admissions team will visit more than 400 high schools and attend approximately 100 events in 40 countries across the Indian subconti- nent, Middle East, Southeast Asia, Africa, the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America. New initiatives include enhanced agent relationships, strengthening our international student ambassador network and enhanced online events and communications. The Ontario Universities’ Fair (OUF) will run from September 27-29, 2019 and more than 100 Carleton students, staff and faculty will attend to speak to pro- spective students. Over 130,000 students and parents are expected to attend this year’s OUF. Additionally, our Fall Open House Days will be held on-campus on October 19, 2019 (Engineering and Design, Science) and October 26, 2019 (Arts and Social Sciences, Public Affairs and Sprott School of Business). CONVOCATION—JUNE 2019 The Registrar’s Office coordinated the highly successful June Convocation which included 9 ceremonies and close to 5,000 graduates. Undergraduate Students: 3,983 Graduate Students: 967 Honorary doctorates were conferred on the following individuals: Diana Beresford-Kroeger, B.Sc.

Laroche STUDENT SUCCESS AND STUDENT EXPERIENCE We successfully launched the annual Ask Me Campaign, which saw faculty, staff and student leaders wearing red Ask Me buttons during the first couple of weeks of September to help make all students feel part of this supportive com- munity. Summer Orientation welcomed more than 900 new students and more than 800 parents and guests across six sessions in August 2019. At Summer Orienta- tion, students and guests learned about key campus services and resources, the academic adjustment to university studies and participated in a campus tour. Registration for the program was up 12% from last year. The Student Experience Office oversaw another successful Fall Orientation pro- gram and Academic Orientation Day with more than 4,500 new students partici- pating. Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) The First Year Connections program has reached a new milestone with more than 800 students registered (a 12% increase). Any first year student, including international, transfer and first generation students, who are looking to have a peer mentor during the first six weeks of the academic year will be matched with a mentor to support their transition to post-secondary education including navigating campus, understanding campus resources available and how to ac- cess them, and making connections with other students in the community. The International Student Services Office (ISSO) has provided a robust orienta- tion program for new international students. This included I-Start Orientation sessions throughout August and September, a welcome event on August 30, 2019 with more than 750 people and the Airport Welcome Program. The Department of Housing and Residence Life has opened up a new satellite fitness centre in residence this fall, 2019. On Thursday, September 12, 2019 we launched the expanded Carleton Therapy Dog program. After receiving permanent funding for a position, this program has expanded to include a total of 13 dogs with Carleton faculty and staff as handlers. This program is part of a campus-wide mental health initiative that fosters a welcoming and supportive environment and will help to facilitate re- ferrals and address mild-moderate mental health concerns. Students are en- couraged to visit with the dogs and collect their business cards. Under the guidance of the new Director, Health and Counselling Services, we continue to identify quality improvements to ensure effective access to services for students. We are moving into the academic year with 4 psychiatrists and 4 GP-psychotherapists. In collaboration with the Department of Equity and Inclu- sive Communities, we have successfully recruited an Indigenous Counsellor. Health and Counselling Services will be piloting a “Mindfulness for Emotional Resilience” Group for both the fall and winter terms and a Culture Shock group in the International Student Services Office this fall. In 2018-19 we received 52% more referrals through the Care Report than then previous academic year. This indicates that there was more awareness among both faculty and staff on campus about the support offered through the Office of Student Affairs in supporting students with more complex mental health con- cerns. We have launched the development of the Canadian Accessibility Network (CAN), a multi-sector network of partnerships to advance accessibility across Canada. A working group representing student services, research services and faculty is currently formalizing partnerships with 50 organizations and 140 col- laborators, including postsecondary institutions, national associations, commu- nity organizations and private industry. The READ Initiative is currently taking part in a number of funding competitions with opportunities in the excess of $20M, with proposals ranging from the con- struction of an assistive technology innovation lab, to a national employability support program for students with disabilities. The CU Spirit Day program returned to campus on Friday, September 13, 2019. All staff are encouraged to wear their quarter zip sweater or other Ravens gear on every Friday to celebrate our Ravens spirit. Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) EMPLOYABILITY AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING We have successfully completed the first year of the David C. Onley Initiative, a $5M Ontario Government funded partnership with uOttawa, Algonquin College, and La Cite. The initiative continues to develop a transferable model to support skill development and preparation of students with disabilities for employment. In Fall 2018, the new International Internship Program was opened to students university-wide, with a targeted recruitment of Faculty of Public Affairs (FPA) students. Through this high-impact experiential learning program, we had 72 students successfully participate in the program and intern across the world in 27 different countries this past summer for academic credit, which was an in- crease of 50% from last summer. Placements included Canada’s Permanent Mission to the UN in New York City, interning as a Gender Officer with a local NGO in Peru and working with the Screen Directors Guild of Ireland. The Carleton University Accessible Experiential Learning Project (CUAEL) is wrapping up a highly successful program that was funded by the Government of Ontario’s Career Ready Fund. Over the past 16 months, we’ve filled 225 experi- ential learning placements for students with disabilities, in addition to providing accommodation and disclosure supports to students and employers. Due to this pilot’s great success, Carleton is continuing the program as Act to Employ. This past summer saw a 12.4% increase in the number of co-op students em- ployed compared to the previous summer. ATHLETIC EXCELLENCE The NCAA Can-Am shoot had approximately 1,800 paid spectators over the four exciting games. The Carleton Ravens football team started the season with a strong win over the Queen’s Gaels and then fell to 1-1 in 2019 after a loss to the Guelph Gryph- ons in their home opener on September 1, 2019. The men’s hockey team completed a European tour of France, Switzerland and Germany playing three games. The trip was made possible thanks to the gener- ous donations from alumni and friends of the program. The annual Panda Game football match between the Carleton University Ravens and the University of Ottawa Gee-Gees will take place on Saturday, October 5, 2019 at TD Place. The total number of summer camp registrations for 2019 reached an all-time high of 5,869. Office of the Vice-President (Students and Enrolment) PLANS FOR THIS YEAR We are continuing to lead the development of Carleton’s Coordinated Accessi- bility Strategy. After considering feedback from the Carleton community, the draft strategy will be released to the community this fall for further consulta- tions and feedback. We will be collaborating with the Department of Equity and Inclusive Communi- ties on a consultation of the Campus Sexual Violence Prevention Strategy.

    FREE Circulation TheHighlander 5,000 Thursday 15 March 2012 | Issue 23 Haliburton County’s Independent Newspaper MNR battle lines drawn Petition against changes to Clear Lake reserve making its way to Minister of Natural Resoures and MPP By George Farrell Talk has turned into action after a recent public meeting to address concerns over the MNR’s proposal for the Clear Lake Conservation Reserve. As a result of the Saturday, March 10 meeting held at a packed West Guilford Recreation Centre, a petition with 112 signatures will be sent to local MPP Laurie Scott, the Minister of Natural Resources Michael Gravelle and his Deputy Minister. Back on February 9, the MNR announced in a Preliminary Managements Statement that they were expanding the 1,307 hectare Clear Lake Conservation Reserve and creating more restrictions for the use of the area. These restrictions included: prohibiting the use of existing logging trails for motorized recreational use, prohibiting the use of cached boats and canoes on remote lakes, prohibiting the grooming of existing trails for skiing and snow shoeing and effectively prohibiting trail maintenance for most of the remaining users. On February 12, three days after that announcement, the MNR called an open house meeting for February 16 at the Stanhope Firefighters Community Centre. Due to the short notice, a small group of landowners and users attended the Ten-year-old Glen Bagg contemplates life and granite. He was the youngest curler at the fourth annual Curl for Care meeting. Bonspiel at the Haliburton Curling Club last Saturday, March 10. Photo by Terrance Gavan.

    FROM WATERLOO LUTHERAN UNIVERSITY WATERLOO UNIVERSITY COLLEGE — WATERLOO LUTHERAN SEMINARY 75 UNIVERSITY AVENUE, WATERLOO, ONTARIO, CANADA TELEPHONE: AREA CODE 519, 744-8141 102-1968 Gerry McLoughlin September 24, 1968 For Immediate Release Carleton Visits Seagram Stadium For League Opener Friday, September 27 This Friday evening, Sept. 27, the Carleton University Ravens from Ottawa will visit Seagram Stadium for what will be the league opener for both the Waterloo Lutheran University Golden Hawks and the Ravens. The Golden Hawks will be looking to improve on their past performances in which they lost two close contests, one to the University of Manitoba Bisons and one to the University of Waterloo Warriors. In the game with the Bisons the Golden Hawks moved into a 13-0 lead on touchdowns by Bob McGregor and John Skinner. However, they lost their momentum and Manitoba rallied for a 15-13 victory. In the game with the Warriors this past Saturday the Hawks came from behind an 8-0 defecit and tied the score at the half by virtue of a touchdown by Doug Strong and single points by John Kruspe and Paul Grey. WLU had shown signs of coming on real strong. They were overpowering the Warriors in the 2nd and 3rd quarters and moved into the last period holding a 10-8 lead. However, the Hawks stopped taking the play to the Warriors and a 4th quarter touchdown by the University of Waterloo proved to be the margin of victory. - more - . 2 Head Coach Dave Knight, though perplexed over two straight losses, feels his team is maturing to a peak for the league opener.

    May 31, 2019 Dear: Mr. Mark Goudie, Chief Executive Officer, Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) Dr. Benoit-Antoine Bacon, President, Carleton University Mme Suzanne Blanchard, Vice-President, Students and Enrollment, Carleton University Re : Panda Game 2019 As Chair of the Sandy Hill Town and Gown committee, and as President of Sandy Hill’s community association, we are writing to ask for your participation in a measure to mitigate the highly negative effects of the Carleton Ravens vs. Ottawa GeeGees Panda Game. In recent years, due in part to its early Saturday afternoon kick-off time, the Panda Game has drawn huge crowds from both universities, as well as from outside the Ottawa university communities. The behaviour has been wholly unacceptable, and has included property damage, harassment of residents, trespassing, urinating on private property etc. The Sandy Hill community finds itself requiring additional measures be put in place to mitigate the disruptive behaviour associated with Panda Game pre and post celebrations. With a large, concentrated of student population, residents of Sandy Hill are faced with significant challenges during these Panda Game celebrations. As Ottawa’s Sport Commissioner, I recognize how important the Panda Game is for Carleton University, for the University of Ottawa, for OSEG, and for alumni and students in Ottawa. However, as the Councillor for Ward 12, I need to alert you to the costly measures that the City of Ottawa and the Ottawa Police have been forced to shoulder to mitigate this event in Sandy Hill. A study by the City’s Special Events Advisory Team of the causes of the safety and damages suffered by the residents pointed to a number of causes.

    The Gryphons’ Lair Issue 34 - November 2019 What Happened in October? Game 7 vs. Queen’s The Guelph Gryphons travelled to Kingston, Ontario to take on the Queen’s Gaels in a Thursday night, pre-Thanksgiving match-up. The entire game was very back and forth throughout, with the Gryphons tying up the game late in the fourth quarter, bringing us to overtime. With a defensive stop on Queen’s overtime drive, Guelph was able to respond and get the ball to the 26-yard line, setting up Kicker, Eric Stranz, to kick the winning field goal. Our Offensive Player of the Game was Running Back, Juwan Jeffrey. Our Defensive Player of the Game was Defensive End/Linebacker, AJ Allen. Lastly, our Special Teams Player of the Game was second-year Kicker, Eric Stranz, who has been 13-of-15 on field goals at this point in the season.

Thanksgiving Weekend After a Thursday night win in Kingston, the team had the Thanksgiving weekend off to spend time with family and friends. As many members of our team come from British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan, the trek home was just not doable. That’s when Gryphon Football’s POP Group leader, Bruna Ferraro, stepped in to host the boys at a Thanksgiving dinner and made them feel at home during the long weekend. Thank you, Bruna and the Ferraro's for hosting our boys. Game 8 vs. U of T On Saturday, October 19th, the Guelph Gryphons took on the Toronto Varsity Blues in the last regular season game of the year.
