Founded in 1910, Mount Royal opened its doors in 1911 and welcomed 179 students during that first academic year. Although we have grown significantly since those initial days, with more than 13,000 students in 2010/11, we remain dedicated to our core purpose, which has been consistent for more than a century: student success and satisfaction. Mount Royal’s centennial celebrations were launched in Aug. 2010 with a ceremonial kickoff by Canadian Football Hall of Fame member and Cougars alumnus Larry Robinson at a Calgary Stampeders / Edmonton Eskimos football game. Several celebratory initiatives were launched throughout the year to honour Mount Royal’s history, including the creation of 27 Centennial Military Memorial bursaries to honour the 27 students, employees and alumni who gave their lives for our country in the First and Second World Wars and in United Nations military operations. A range of events were presented in celebration of Mount Royal’s centennial, including the signature series Legacy of Ideas. It brought internationally recognized speakers to our community for provocative and challenging lectures, symposia and events. Presenters were chosen for their ideas and ranged from graffiti artists demonstrating new methods of sharing alternative ideas, to environmental leaders to business maverick Chris Anderson. A lecture by bestselling author Malcolm Gladwell, held at the EPCOR Centre’s Jack Singer Concert Hall, was sold out. As well, Mount Royal hosted a successful Centennial Symposium on the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning. Former Conservatory instructor John Abram composed an original piece called Century to celebrate Mount Royal’s centennial and it was performed for the first time at the June 2011 Convocation. In April 2011, Mount Royal was granted its official Coat of Arms by Claire Boudreau, Chief Herald of Canada. The Coat of Arms includes Mount Royal’s colours of blue and white, as well as the University’s motto: Quam bene non quantum. This motto was adopted by Mount Royal’s first principal, the Rev. Dr. George Kerby, in 1910. Translated from the Latin, it means “How well, not how much.” Mount Royal’s Coat of Arms has an interesting history. It incorporates elements from a badge created in 1912 for the newly-created Mount Royal College. The badge was commissioned by Vincent Massey, who went on to become Canada’s first native-born Governor General in 1952. Massey worked on the badge in collaboration with Alexander Scott Carter, who is considered one of Canada’s pre-eminent heraldic artists. The June Convocation also introduced the Centennial Medal. Given to the class valedictorian at each Convocation, the Centennial Medal is awarded to the students graduating from a Mount Royal University degree program who simultaneously demonstrated academic excellence and leadership in campus and/or community activities. This award was created to commemorate a deep tradition of student academic achievement and leadership at Mount Royal in its 100-year history. HIGHLIGHTS Mount Royal made its first appearance in the Globe and Mail University Report. A sample of Mount Royal students reported that they get what they want and what they need at Mount Royal. Mount Royal scored in the “As” in the important categories, including overall satisfaction, quality of education, student–faculty interaction and campus atmosphere. 2 MOUNT ROYAL UNIVERSITY ANNUAL REPORT 2010/2011 Mount Royal announced the launch of its eighth degree — a four-year, direct entry Bachelor of Education — Elementary program — which began in Sept. 2011. In May 2011, Alberta’s Minister of Advanced Education and Technology and the Minister of Health and Wellness announced the approval of Mount Royal’s Bachelor of Midwifery program, the only program of its kind in Alberta. This new degree program will prepare students to become primary health care providers to women in pregnancy and through childbirth. The program will develop capacity to better meet maternity care needs in Alberta by not only providing an effective solution for women’s health, but also delivering care to mothers in ways that honour their choices. The four-year degree program begins in Fall 2011. The Certified Management Accountants (CMA) of Alberta announced that it has accredited Mount Royal’s Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) — Accounting major. The CMA’s accreditation process recognizes universities that achieve standards of instruction in accounting. As a result of this accreditation, graduates from Mount Royal’s BBA (Accounting major) program will be exempt from writing the CMA National Entrance Exam and are eligible to enter directly into the CMA Strategic Leadership Program, provided they have a graduation date on or after May 2011, have completed the program with a minimum overall grade point average of B or 3.0, and have received a minimum of 60 per cent in each of the 16 prerequisite courses. Thus, the accreditation ensures an easier transition for our Accounting students into the next phase of their professional education or career. CHANGING THE FACE OF EDUCATION CAMPAIGN In April 2011, Mount Royal publicly launched its Changing the Face of Education campaign, the largest fundraising campaign in its 100-year history. The campaign’s target is $250 million — $125 million from private donors and $125 million in public funding. The campaign will help advance Mount Royal by raising funds for three student-focused priorities: » Learning opportunities: student scholarships and bursaries » Learning environment: establishing six Centres of Excellence » Learning spaces: expanding student research facilities for Science and Health as well as building a new Conservatory and Concert Hall and a new Library and Learning Centre NEW PRESIDENT Following a rigorous international search that included input from faculty, student and staff representatives, the Board of Governors announced the appointment of David Docherty, PhD, as Mount Royal’s ninth President, commencing Aug. 1, 2011. Dr. Docherty comes to Mount Royal from Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, ON, where he was the Senior Advisor on Multi-Campus Initiatives in the Office of the Vice-President: Academic and Provost. Previously he was Laurier’s Dean of the Faculty of Arts. Dr. Docherty is an accomplished academic, author and administrator. He is a recognized expert on parliamentary democracy in Canada and was instrumental in developing new undergraduate and graduate programs at Laurier. With his demonstrated commitment to excellence in and out of the classroom, Dr. Docherty will lead the University into our second century and further Mount Royal’s aspiration to be Canada’s premier undergraduate university based on important measures of student success and satisfaction. On behalf of the Board of Governors, I would like to take this opportunity to express our appreciation to all Mount Royal faculty and staff for their

    Alberta's Colleges Ready to Act on Alberta 2030 Strategy

    Alberta’s colleges ready to act on Alberta 2030 strategy May 4, 2021 – Alberta’s colleges are ready to respond to the Alberta 2030: Building Skills for Jobs strategy by continuing to provide adaptable, relevant, hands-on training that prepares students to support Alberta’s employers and economy. The strategy, released by the Ministry of Advanced Education on Thursday, supports the work already being done by the province’s 11 Comprehensive Community Colleges. Located in all regions of the province, Alberta’s colleges provide access to education and a variety of educational opportunities to all Albertans. Alberta’s colleges work closely with industry partners to ensure their applied degree, diploma, certificate and apprenticeship programs provide both the technical skills and the employability competencies needed to prepare students to enjoy fulfilling lives and careers. “Alberta 2030 provides a roadmap to ensure the province’s post-secondary system plays a strategic role in preparing Albertans to participate and succeed in the 21st century economy, and Northern Lakes College is pleased to be part of the solution,” says Glenn Mitchell, Northern Lakes College President and CEO. “The Alberta 2030 strategy allows us to reflect on the work already being done to support students and industry, and to explore opportunities for increased support and collaboration,” says Dr. Paula Burns, Lethbridge College President and CEO. “We are proud of our industry-driven education and applied research, and we know we are well-positioned to deliver on the province’s post-secondary needs now and into the future.” Alberta’s colleges are committed to making post-secondary education affordable and accessible for all Albertans at all stages of their post-secondary journey.
