St John’s College Warden’s Report to Council March 29, 2017

It seems that I have been on the road for most of the beginning of this term. This has included trips to Ottawa, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Vancouver and Victoria. Thank goodness I have no more travel dates until May!

Much of our work this term has been looking into the possibility of government support for building a new residence. This has involved a number of meetings and we will report on the progress at our meting.

This past week we had The Rev. Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan deliver the Fifth Annual Wilmot Lectures on Anglican International Ecumenical Relations. Attendance for the event was small, but the content was exceptional.

Report to Council. March 2017 Acting Dean of Studies Lori Wilkinson

Academic News

The University has implemented a new campus-wide mental health strategy called Success through Wellness. There are a number of very important new initiatives that affect all faculty, student and staff members. I would be happy to discuss any or all of these programs with you. • For students: o new programing on Fentanyl o Revised alcohol addiction programs o Healthy U workshops for health and wellness o Body project: for eating disorders o Bringing in the bystander: what to do if you witness or learn of a mental health crisis (between students) o Active minds events and awareness o New sexual assault and violence steering committee o How to respond to disclosures o Heart Medicine Lodge • For faculty and staff o In addition to Shepell and Associates (EAP) o Live well website: with resources for healthy living www.umanitoba.ca/livewell o Shepell has also added health and wellness support and legal support o Group workshops o Tackling addiction o Critical incident debriefing o Stress management/prevention workshops o Weekly workshops (no registration required) o GWL Centre for Mental Health Resources: www.workplacestrategiesformentalhealth.com o Mood program online: to manage depression and provide therapist support o June 19-23 Campus wellness week o Academics at risk program: confidential therapy provided on campus at the Psychological Services Centre

Medical Notes Committee Update: The Faculty of Nursing will be pilot testing two programs dealing with students who must miss classes/tests/assignments due to illness. The first pilot will test a new form called “Verification of Academic Incapacity”. This form would be completed by a physician but would be less time consuming for both the physician and student. The second pilot will test a “Statutory Declaration Statement”. The student would be tasked with swearing an oath to a commissioner (located in each faculty) instead of submitting a medical note. After the two pilot tests are complete, the committee will select one solution: either the Verification of Academic Incapacity Form OR the Statutory Declaration Statement

Review of St John’s Events

The 33rd Marjorie Ward Lecture was delivered on February 28 by Stephen Lewis. About 200 people attended the event which was also covered by UM Today and the Winnipeg Free Press. Dr Lewis joined a small group for a supper in his honour afterwards.

Soup and Bread Lectures: a record number of lectures will take place (or have already taken place) this semester. Thanks to Michael Minor for organizing these 8 talks!

This semester’s Lunch and Lively Conversations was held on February 22 and was given by Erin Millions.

The St John’s Annual Celebrating Excellence attracted submissions from many faculty and student members. I hope to see more submissions for next fall!

iii) Development Office

Development Officer Report to Council March 2017

Fundraising • To date raised: $217,000 • The province has made changes to the Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative. Basically for us we will get a little more funding through the UofM. However, allocation is now 2:1 (was 1:1) and no matching available for endowed funds; disbursed amounts can be matched. We are waiting for UofM guidelines to be developed hopefully sometime in April. • Three bequests received last year for a total of $86,282.36

Alumni/Stewardship • Continuing to visit with Johnians. • Chris and I travelled to Ottawa at the beginning of February and Vancouver/Victoria at beginning of March • I am in Japan and plan on meeting with one alumnus whilst in Tokyo on the 22nd March. • I will be on vacation in England in May and plan on some visits to alumni whilst there.

Special Events • Bach’s Birthday Chapel concert will be held on the 22nd March. • The Reunion Weekend is almost upon us preparations are proceeding well.

Marketing/Communications • The College is tweeting! Many thanks to everyone who has contributed so far. Please let us know if you have something you wish to share with the wider community!

Staffing • Ade finished working for us at the beginning of March. • Applied to Canada Summer jobs for a grant for the 2017 summer student

iv) Dean of Residence

Dean of Residence Report

Residence Projects There are no major projects happening in the residence right now.

Regular Semester Our end of term move out date has been shifted again to May 1st to accommodate exams running later this year. The costs for the five extra days should be covered by the University. We have three open rooms right now, but will be filling at least one of them in April.

Residence Activity There have been a few major incidents involving one person; this person has now been evicted and banned from the residence, so disturbances are down. Our recruiting trip to Brandon was unfortunately a bust, thanks to the blizzard that shut down the city and surrounding area, but I will be sending out recruitment letters to guidance counsellors later this month. Don interviews will be conducted on March 22nd, and Residence Council elections will be held soon after.

vi) Bursar

Bursars’ Report to Council, March 29th, 2017

Financial The university is developing a completely new, decentralized budgeting strategy that will change the way our budget is set, as well as which expenses will now reside with the College as opposed to being handled centrally. Allocations will also be adjusted to offset those costs. This has involved numerous meetings with the consultants the university has contracted with, and workshops and discussions will continue. Beginning in 2017-18, the new budget process will run in parallel to the existing one, and then go “live” in 2018-19. As this is a major undertaking, and a significant shift from how things are done now, there are numerous questions and challenges currently being addressed.

Preparations for our 2017-18 College budget are well underway, with a major focus on trying to confirm what groups we will have in the residence during the summer. Admittedly, we have not done a very good job of accurately budgeting our summer revenues over the last two years, which has put us in the difficult position of trying to make up for those unrealized revenues for the period of September to March. This year we’ve made the decision to delay finalizing our budget until May so that we can strike a budget that is based on more solid information, and allows our clients more time to confirm their numbers.

Building items The residence dining room has been repainted, and the carpet replaced with vinyl flooring. It is a major improvement. Planning has begun for the project to replace the hood exhaust system in the residence. Our current system is outdated, and falls outside the university’s fire safety guidelines. Historically our setup was allowed because it was “grandfathered in”, but it has now reached the point where changes need to be made. Drawings for the project are nearly complete, at which time the university will put it out to tender, with construction to begin in June. Funds are available in our Residence Improvement Fund, and our Unrestricted Fund. Council will vote on whether to approve this project at its March 29th meeting.

Staff Update Lesley Cowan very ably filled in for Diana Defoort for the last six months on a temporary basis (six months is the maximum allowable length of a temporary appointment based on the collective agreement). However, the leave status of Diana is still unresolved, and Human Resources has asked, and been given approval, to extend the temporary appointment by another two months. We are hoping to have someone back in that position in the coming week, in time for our scholarship deadline, and to assist with upcoming 150th anniversary events.

vii) Registrar

Registrar’s Report March 2017

University of Manitoba Open House Thursday, February 23, 2017. We had a St John’s College booth at in the Info Village for the Open House. It was a fairly well-attended event, with a steady flow of students to our booth.

Brandon Career Symposium March 6- 8, 2017. Due to the storm that hit Brandon from March 6 – 8, the evening session on the 6th was attended by maybe 100 people, two of which came by our booth. On the 7th and 8th, most of the highways were closed, as were the rural schools which are the ones who attend the symposium. It was unfortunate, but hopefully it will not be a re-occurring phenomenon.

Manley-Tannis 189 Woodydell Avenue Winnipeg, MB, R2M 2V2 [email protected] 204.253.7200 (hm) 204.470.2831 (cell) 20 March 2017 Dear Warden and Vice-Chancellor Trott & the Search Committee for Ecumenical Chaplain/Spiritual Advisor, St. John’s College: 92 Dysart Road Winnipeg, Manitoba, R3T 2M5 I am sending this letter as indication of my interest in the half-time position as Ecumenical Chaplain and Spiritual Advisor at St. John’s College, University of Manitoba. I am an ordained minister in the United Church of Canada (UCC) and currently in part-time ministry with the Little Britain Congregation at Lockport, MB. There are many aspects of the position with St. John’s College that interest me and that I believe would build on strengths that I possess. I have a true interest in ecumenical relationships, cultural diversity, and I believe that there is a real need for young people to have mentors and spiritual connections with those who are open to diversity and who bring a non-judgemental approach to living out Christian Faith. I am also invested and focused on the Reconciliation of relationships between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples, and I understand that this topic is part of the justice work that the Chaplain would be supporting. One project I have worked on is a planning group for a day of learning with Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples of all ages at the Sandy Saulteaux Spiritual Center – called Feast for Friends. This event (2015, and currently) has brought many groups together including The Centre for Christian Studies, Kairos, the Conference of Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario (UCC), All Native Circle Conference (UCC) and interested individuals. It is one project that I can imagine the possibility of over-lap with my support of students at the U of M in their justice work and desire to work toward Reconciliation. As a Spiritual Advisor I bring my experience of 16 years of Pastoral Ministry with folks of all ages, including Youth Group, Confirmation, camp chaplaincy and Christian Education leadership. I would also bring my experience and knowledge of the Enneagram, my years of training and practice as a Spiritual Director, continued work with Grief and Bereavement (funeral ministry, grief support and small group leadership), my connection with the Center for Courage and Renewal and ‘Circles of Trust’, as well as awareness and personal experience with mental health matters. My interest and abilities in music, my gifts as a gentle listener (who can also offer challenge when needed), my ability to foster safe space, my protective nature of those in my care, and my fierce belief in a loving Creator who gave us diversity as a gift, would be other aspects of my ministry that I highlight for your consideration. There are also aspects of this position that would bring a learning curve for me – but one that I would most readily welcome. I would look forward to expanding my knowledge about the many faiths that are represented and active on campus, as well as discovering more of the geography, culture and resources of the University itself. I am an on-going learner and have great experience of team and I would draw upon these to lead me forward. I look forward to further conversation, please do not hesitate to contact me with any further questions.

St John’s College Warden’s Report to Assembly and Council May 2017

I am presently away visiting my grandchildren in England after the very busy time spent on the 150th celebrations for the College. I ask Assembly’s and Council’s indulgence to this joint report.

Much of my time and energy (and indeed the rest of the staff) over the past two months has been dedicated to preparing for and celebrating the 150th Gala weekend, which took place April 17 to 30. I was personally delighted with how all the events worked out and want to thank all the staff for the hard work they put in to make this event happen. We had an excellent turnout for the combined events over the weekend, although as ever, we would like to have seen more people from the more recent decades.

1) Since the last Assembly we have had the 3 Wilmot lectures given by the Rev. Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan. Although attendance was not great, we did have an excellent joint session with St Paul’s and St Andrew’s College on March 21. 2) Attended Diocesan Council on March 25. 3) Attended the College Grad Dinner and Dance on March 25. 4) Represented the College at the Centre for Christian Studies Annual Service of Celebration (March 26). 5) Offered a 5 week course on “How did we get here?: colonialism and Indigenous peoples in Canada” at St Luke’s Church (March 19, 26, April 2, 9, May 7) 6) Participated in the job talks for assistant professor position in Native Studies Department 7) Organized and led the Journey into Passiontide service in the Chapel (April 9) 8) Met with MLA Sarah Guillemard at the Legislature on housing (April 12) 9) Participated in the hiring process for a new editor of Mosaic (April 19) 10) Participated in the SJC Theology Reading Group (April 19) 11) Organized the Sistema Fundraiser at SJC (April 23) 12) Attended the Volunteer Awards Dinner on behalf of the College to recognize our student Montesar 13) Organized and chaired the “SJC at 150 Symposium” (April 27) 14) Attended the U of M Distinguished Alumni Awards event (May 2) 15) Participated in the hiring process for the new Dean of Residence 16) Participated in the hiring process for the new Spiritual Advisor

The Dean of Studies and I have nominated the General Office Staff of the College for a Team Service Award from the University.

I will be attending the Heads of Anglican Colleges Meetings in Vancouver on May 24 to 26 and the Western Collaborative Network on Theological Education Meetings in Saskatoon on June 6 to 9. I look forward to participating in the Assiniboia Residential School Reunion at the end of June. Report to Council. May 2017 Acting Dean of Studies Lori Wilkinson

Academic News

1. New registration guide for students: the University 1 Start Book has now been replaced by the First Year Planning Guide. There are many good new features in the guide: a. Provides students with detailed information about the courses they need to take to complete their major and the order in which to take these courses. Although flexibility in course selection remains available in most programs, the new structure makes it clear the progression from one course to another to shorten the number of months to degree completion b. Charts are simplified, making pre-requisite courses and required courses easily identifiable c. Provides direct links to the Career Compass (see below) d. Fully searchable online

2. Career Compass is a fully searchable, integrated site that assists students in selecting the courses they need to complete their program. It also provides information on labour market outcomes and a list of skills potential employers will value. The site is located here: http://umanitoba.ca/student/careerservices/careercompass/

3. International Centre update: services are now available for faculty members who are hosting international visitors (including visiting researchers, professors and international/transfer students). They can provide assistance with paperwork, questions, and other related travel issues for visitors on our campus.

4. Undergraduate Tutorial on Academic Integrity: This winter, the university piloted two versions of an academic integrity tutorial in my SOC 2370 class. The purpose was to have undergraduate students from a variety of different demographics rate the tutorials in preparation for launch in September 2018. At that time, all entering students will be required to complete an academic integrity tutorial as part of their registration process at the university.

5. Harmonized penalties for Academic Dishonesty: the university continues to negotiate with all faculties to create a list of common penalties for a range of academic offenses (e.g., plagiarism, cheating on tests, personation, etc.). A draft document has been circulated to all faculties for comments. The purpose of this project is to make penalties equitable for students across all faculties. Currently, students may receive harsher penalties in Arts than they do in Science for the same offense in the same class (for example).

Thanks to Ian and staff at Daily Bread for sponsoring two cocktail parties for the event and to our three judges for making a very tough decision on adjudicating all the art.

Jackie will update you on the 150th Anniversary Alumni Weekend. After much work, the event was a success!

Bursars’ report to Council May 24th, 2017

Financial The Finance & Administration Committee recommended to Assembly the approval of the 2017-2018 Operating Budget at it’s May 8th meeting, and the new residence rates for September 1017. They also met with our investment managers on Friday May 12th. On May 16th, Assembly approved both recommendations from the Finance & Admin Committee (residence rates, and the 17-18 budget).

Our audit will begin on June 8th, and are currently in the process of preparing for that.

Summer Conferences We have a stronger contingent of regular residence students this summer, fluctuating over the summer months but holding steady in the mid 30’s. July will be very busy with several different groups coming in, and August as well.

Building items We continue to work towards finding a contractor to replace our hood exhaust system in the residence kitchen, and determining when the construction will occur. Our goal is to maintain uninterrupted food service for the students, but will likely have to feed them in the Daily Bread Café for a period of time.

Staff

We are pleased to have hired a new Dean of Residence, Fayaz Hasan, who will be starting on May 24th. Fayaz has lived in the residence for several years, and has a passion for St John’s and the residence in particular.
