MEMORANDUM

To: Senate Student Services Committee From: Colin Russell - Registrar Date: April 28, 2020 Re: English Language Requirement Policy: Adding the IELTS Indicator online assessment

Admissions would like to add the IELTS (International English Language Testing System) online assessment to our English Language Requirement Policy. We already accept the paper-based IELTS test. Students who provide proof of this test, with the required grade, will have met the English Language Requirement as part of the admission process for undergraduate and graduate studies. This recommendation is supported by Recruitment, and PACE. IELTS is one of the most well-established and widely-used testing agencies. They have devised the IELTS Indicator online test in order to facilitate testing during the COVID-19 Pandemic, as testing centres are closed in most countries. Their intent would be to stop using the online test once their regular in-person testing resumes. We expect many Canadian institutions to adopt it. We would raise the standard from an aggregate band score of 6.5 on the paper test to 7 on the online test. The IELTS Canada website is https://www.ieltscanada.ca/ .

Based on a webinar conducted by IELTS, we have been assured that: • The online test is timed, 2 hours 45 minutes, uninterrupted; • The same academic content and questions are used as on the paper IELTS; • Test questions are re-generated for each session; • Security features – ID validation and registration number check, face-to-face ID validation during speaking test, download of secure browser which locks down the student’s computer during the test, cross-referencing for banned test takers. Webcam video recording of the listening, writing and speaking tests, keystroke and mouse pointer logging; • Four skills assessed: listening, reading, writing and speaking; speaking is assessed by 1-1 video conference; • Tests marked by IELTS certified examiners, scoring the same as for paper version; • Available in 37 countries at the moment; Canada and the Americas May 6;

MOTION: That The University of Winnipeg add the IELTS Indicator online test to its accepted measures of English Language Proficiency for undergraduate and graduate admission, with a minimum overall band score of 7, for Fall 2020 and Winter 2021 admission only.

MEMORANDUM

To: Senate

From: Mavis Reimer, Dean, Faculty of Graduate Studies

Date: 29 April 2020

Re: Graduate Studies Committee Report

The Graduate Studies Committee (GSC) is forwarding for the approval of Senate a package of curriculum revisions from the Master of Development Practice program. The curriculum revisions presented here have been reviewed and approved by the GSC Curriculum Subcommittee and the GSC in April 2020. There are two course revisions and one course deletion submitted for approval.

Course Revision Proposals:

GDP 7780 Seminar in Development Practice – A; GDP 7785 Seminar in Development Practice – B The previous version of this course was a 3-credit-hour taught over two years. It was developed to provide students with an integrative learning environment to explore conceptual and practical issues and innovative development practices through meeting with leaders in the field. This format across academic years was difficult to administer.

Academic Working Group on Sustainability Annual Report FY2019

Submitted by Dr. Ian Mauro, Chair of the Academic working Group on Sustainability on behalf of all members

Annual Reports - For Information Page 43 of 125 a)

Members of the Academic Working Group on Sustainability FY2019

Ian Mauro – Geography/Richardson College for the Environment (chair) Lee Anne Block – Education Andrew Park – Biology Royden Loewen - History Joseph Wasylycia-Leis – Campus Sustainability Office (Administrative Support)

Background: Academic Working Group (AWG)

The Academic Working Group on Sustainability (AWG) has existed as a senate-approved body operating under the auspices of the Campus Sustainability Council since 2012. The AWG brings together faculty members from different departments who share an interest in sustainability teaching and research at UWinnipeg. The group works closely with the Campus Sustainability Office (CSO) on achieving UWinnipeg’s strategic objectives relating to environmental education and knowledge mobilization. The academic working group generally meets 2-3 times per year but did not convene in person in FY2019. Members of the group, especially Ian Mauro, acted in a consulting role as the CSO moved forward on plans for course tracking and creating a community of practice around sustainability research and education. We plan to return to a regular meeting schedule in FY2020.

Sustainability Course Inventory Completion and Analysis

Over the last few years, the AWG and the CSO have worked together to develop an inventory of sustainability-related courses taught at UWinnipeg. The ultimate goals of this project are to gain a better understanding of the breadth, depth and scope of sustainability education at UWinnipeg and to generate better results moving forward by modeling the best practices of other leading post-secondary institutions. An initial list of sustainability courses was compiled in 2015 as part of UWinnipeg’s first Sustainability Tracking, Rating and Assessment System (STARS) application. In 2017, the University’s new Institutional Sustainability Strategy called for the establishment of a formal, published sustainability course index and the ongoing tracking of enrolment in these courses. An updated inventory was also required for UWinnipeg’s 2019 STARS application. The AWG provided feedback and expertise throughout this process, including coordinating a review of all campus syllabi in 2018.

In FY2019, the CSO worked with the Registrar’s Office to establish a system for tracking enrollment in these courses. The system was first ready for CSO testing in January, and the CSO is still working with technology services to be sure that the information collected will be of use to the AWG. With more accurate data on sustainability course enrollment, the AWG will have a baseline to establish targets in enrollment and offerings, and the University can improve its ranking in STARS reporting categories. We look forward to working with the AWG in the coming fiscal year on this continuing project.

Annual Reports - For Information Page 44 of 125 a)

Partnership with Richardson College for the Environment (RCFE)

With input from the AWG, the CSO and RCFE began campus education and research programming in FY2018 and launched a speaker series designed to attract students, staff, faculty and the larger community interested in environment and sustainability. This speaker series allows participants to share knowledge, experiences, and discuss ideas for collaborative, interdisciplinary research and teaching that engage networks on and off campus. This partnership continued into FY2019 with two major campus events.

In September 2019, the CSO and the RCFE provided logistical and outreach support to the Axworthy Distinguished Lecture series for the Climate First Tour, a nationwide effort to engage Canadians in an urgent dialogue about climate change. This event featured speakers David Suzuki, Steven Lewis, and Pam Palmeter and was attended by over --- members of the University community.

In February 2020, the CSO and the RCFE co-hosted the University’s first Sustainability and Environmental Research Fair. The event was a mix-and-mingle event for faculty, staff, students, and community partners interested in environmental research taking place at the University of Winnipeg. It showcased the work of both departments and individual researchers, including initiatives by several members of the AWG, like Leanne Block’s Langside Learning Garden. Over 50 people attended this event.

In FY2019, the CSO and RCFE also collaborated on a proposal for a sustainability credential at the University. This credential would be awarded to students who complete certain sustainability courses and other non-classroom-based, experiential learning elements such as sustainability-focussed coop placements. These sorts of alternative credentialing programs are becoming increasingly popular at post-secondary institutions, and would provide an incentive for students outside of environmental studies programs to pursue sustainability courses. This proposal was based on a long-term vision established by the AWG, and we hope to continue to refine the proposal with the group in the coming year.

Next Steps of the AWG

It is truly unfortunate the University is doing away with the Richardson College for the Environment in its institutional form. While the building will still exist, the idea of it being a dynamic setting for coordinated interdisciplinary teaching and research on sustainability topics is dead. This present major challenges for the AWG who had worked closely to with RCE principle to develop long term plans, specifically the sustainability alternative credential. This is a lost opportunity for our institution and the CSO and the AWG would appreciate having more discussion with top administrators as to how we should move forward if we, as an institution are serious about achieving our stated goals on enhancing sustainability education at UWinnipeg.

Annual Report of the Senate Curriculum Committee Submitted to the Office of the Corporate Secretary and General Council University of Winnipeg April 30, 2020

As Co-Chairs of the Senate Curriculum Committee (SCC) we are pleased to present this annual report to the Senate for 2019-2020.

Between May 2019 and April 2020, the SCC reviewed the following:

• New Courses – 103 credit hours • Course Revisions – 303 credit hours • Course Deletions – 54 credit hours • Experimental Courses – 73 credit hours • Inactive Courses – 3 credit hours

The Committee reviewed a total of 536 credit hours of courses. In the year under review, there were fewer new courses than the previous academic year (103 – 255 = -152 credit hours), fewer course revisions (303 – 489 = -186), fewer course deletions (54 – 129 = -75), but more credit hours of experimental courses (73 – 30 = +43) submitted for review than in the 2018-19 academic year. In 2019-20, the net permanent addition of new credit hours is +46 (103 new courses - 54 deletions – 3 Inactive). An additional 73 credit hours of experimental courses were reviewed making the net total credit hour addition of courses 119 for the 2019-20 academic year.

The SCC also reviewed and recommended 6 courses from Indigenous Studies, Theatre and Film, Criminal Justice, Urban and Inner City Studies, Philosophy, and Education as appropriate for fulfilling the Indigenous Course Requirement (ICR). These courses were:

IS-3201(3) THFM-1003(6) CJ-4500/7500(3) UIC-2035/HIST-2513(3) EDUC-4410(3) PHIL/IS-2240(3)

In addition to the review of ICR courses, the SCC reviewed and recommended that Latin and Greek courses put forward by the Classics Department be eligible as humanities credits. These courses included: CLAS-1100 Intro Latin I, CLAS-1101 Intro Latin II, CLAS-1200 Intro Greek I, and CLAS-1201 Intro Greek II. In addition to the Classics Department program changes, the SCC in collaboration with Academic Planning reviewed program changes from Biology and Political Science. Biology sought a program change adding new courses to the requirements for the program allowing students additional choices within their degree course selection. Political Science sought changes to the Certificate of Public Policy and Administration.

David Telles-Langdon (Kinesiology and Applied Health) Joni Storie (Geography) Joshua Hollett (Chemistry)

The graduate student position was held by Braeden Broschuk (Criminal Justice), appointed by the UWSA during this academic year.

Work of the Committee: In 2019-2020, the GSC convened for seven monthly meetings. The GSC continued its work of reviewing and approving policies and guidelines, program proposals, curriculum proposals,

Annual Reports - For Information Page 52 of 125 a)

external examiners for thesis defenses, appeals for students for variances in their terms of study, and nominations for the Graduate Student of Highest Distinction Awards. In addition, the GSC discussed a variety of issues and best practices across programs, and made recommendations on such processes and events as recruitment, skill development workshops, pathway programs to graduate studies, and new video-conferencing thesis examination procedures in response to COVID-19.

Work of the Sub-Committees: In order to streamline the work of the GSC during its monthly meetings, a number of smaller sub-committees have been constituted to address recurrent issues. These include: ‐ Appeals Sub-Committee ‐ Curriculum Sub-Committee ‐ External Examiner Sub-Committee ‐ Policy Sub-Committee

Appeals Sub-Committee considers student requests for leaves of absences or extensions of time to complete programs (9 appeals reviewed; 8 approved and 1 denied).

Curriculum Sub-Committee reviews course proposals (28 new course/course revision/course deletion proposals were reviewed and approved).

External Examiner Sub-Committee reviews the CVs of external examiners proposed by graduate programs for thesis exams (3 external examiners reviewed and approved).

Policy Sub-Committee reviews the existing Graduate Studies Policies and Guidelines document (in 2019-20, thesis evaluation and thesis distinction policies were reviewed).

Additionally, the GSC: ‐ Revised the Graduate Program Review Process to allow for a longer period to write the self-study report. This is to meet the particular needs of programs undertaking their first review and to include Area Deans more fully in the discussion of recommendations and the development of implementation plans. (October 2019)

‐ Revised Conditional Admission to Graduate Programs to allow a conditional offer of admission to highly-qualified graduate applicants who do not meet the minimum ELP requirements for admission to graduate programs. It is intended to facilitate admission of academically qualified, degree-seeking students, who have not achieved the minimum ELP requirement, but are being considered for admission to a graduate program. Conditional admission allows students to apply for a study permit (if necessary) and begin their studies in the University’s English Language Program, entering their graduate studies program once they have satisfied their language requirements. (January 2020)

THE UNIVERSITY OF WINNIPEG SENATE ANNUAL REPORT OF THE HONORARY DEGREES AND FELLOWSHIPS COMMITTEE (the “Committee”) MAY 20, 2020

The Senate Honorary Degrees and Fellowships Committee met once since the last annual report was submitted. The Committee reviewed new nominations and made recommendations to Senate for their approval. The timing of conferring honours is determined by the President, and depends on many factors, including availability of recipients. Nominees are generally selected to receive their award during a Convocation which focuses on their area of expertise or distinguished service.

In an effort to streamline the University’s processes with respect to bestowing honours, the Committee has now undertaken reviewing nominations for the Distinguished Alumni Award. Upon review, recommendations are forwarded to the Alumni Council, which determines recipients.

The Indigenous Course Requirement (ICR) Committee Annual Report 2019‐2020

The ICR Committee membership for 2019‐2020 is as follows:

Michael Dudley (Faculty Member‐at‐Large) Ryan Eyford (Faculty Member) Lorena Fontaine (Ex Officio ‐ Indigenous Academic Lead) Srimathie Indraratne (Faculty Member ‐ Sciences) Jeannie Kerr (Chair) (Faculty Member) Meagan Malcolm (Ex Officio – UWSA Executive) Mark Meuwese (Faculty Member – Humanities) Julie Pelletier (Faculty Member – Social Sciences) Colin Russell (Ex Officio ‐ University Registrar and Director of Admissions)

As Chair of the ICR Committee, I am pleased to present this annual report to Senate for 2019‐2020. This academic year, the committee met on a monthly schedule and attended to matters that support the ongoing successful implementation of ICR courses. We reviewed and approved proposals and course outlines for ICR designation; reviewed and approved student requests for course recognition as meeting ICR requirements; reviewed and made recommendations for funding requests related to ICR courses; submitted changes to Senate regarding ICR criteria; engaged in succession planning and submitted changes to the committee membership to Senate; reviewed and discussed ongoing and potential research and institutional analyses involving ICR courses in the University; and held a workshop for ICR course instructors in support of their work and recorded their feedback to inform plans for supports going forward.

The following courses were recommended to Senate for ICR designation: In the order approved: EDUC 4410 Introduction to Indigenous Education HIST 2811 Indigenous Spirituality & Art UIC 3010 Two‐Spirit, Indigiqueer, and Indigenous LGBTQ Issues. Note that the submitted form had UIC 3040 but this # was already taken, and was changed to UIC 3010. (xlisted IS‐3010; WGS3040‐TBC) PHIL 2240 Indigenous Justice Issues (xlisted IS 2240) IS 3012 Ethnoecology: A Research Approach (xlisted ANTH 3170) IS 2401 Indigenous Food Systems Field School POL 1012 The Canadian State and Indigenous Peoples FREN 2609 Decolonizing Voices: Francophone Indigenous Literature

We noted in the review process that there is potential for a great deal of overlap amongst ICR courses. In cases where we saw significant overlap with existing courses, we recommended in the approval process that a consult be obtained from relevant departments. This is an area that we believe needs greater attention as more ICR courses are developed.

Annual Reports - For Information Page 56 of 125 a)

The following courses were approved as meeting ICR requirements for student requests for recognition: The Principles of Indian Law (University of Manitoba) Dynamics of the Inner City: Issues in Urban and Inner City Studies (UWinnipeg) Indigenous Health and Sport in Historical Perspective (University of Regina)

The subcommittee on student requests did not meet this year, as there were some delays from other institutions sharing their course lists.

The following scholars were recommended to receive funding to support their ICR Courses: Sharon Wall – History of Winnipeg Melanie O’Gorman ‐ Indigenous Economic Development Ryan Eyford – History of the Métis in Canada Yvonne Vizina – Introduction to Indigenous Education

This year we revised the application form for funds to support ICR courses. We removed the deadlines to increase access to sessional instructors, and drew attention to the requirement to adhere to the Elders’ Protocol when requesting funding for honoraria for Indigenous Elders and knowledge holders.

Submissions to Senate: Changes to ICR Criteria: 1) that the ‘local’ context for ICR courses are specific to Indigenous peoples and territories in Canada and the USA; and 2) that the sub‐heading of contemporary issues should include, but not be limited to, the context of Manitoba. Changes to Committee membership: A standing member from the current UWSA Executive (as determined by them) be appointed to the ICR Committee each year. A standing member from the library be appointed to the ICR Committee.

Succession Planning: It was noted that all members of the Committee (except ex officio members) will end their 2 year terms at the same time. To avoid problems associated with a complete changeover of the committee, we agreed to stagger the terms of Committee members that are not ex officio. In October, 2019 Julie and Jeannie offered to extend their term for 1 year. We also recognized the need for ongoing expertise to enhance knowledge and resources through the Library with ICR courses and the work of the Committee. We submitted this change to Senate for a standing member from the Library.

Monitoring ICR institutional analysis and related research: Institutional Analysis: We reviewed institutional analysis completed in October, 2019. It was noted that we have sufficient capacity amongst ICR courses to meet graduation requirements of students over the coming years. The ratio of faculty to sessional instructors within the ICR courses is showing higher numbers of faculty in comparison to many departments ratios, but there is still concern that a large number of sessional instructors might be teaching many of the ICRs. There is still some concern that students majoring in Indigenous Studies are unable to register in their introductory courses, and also that too many students are still thinking that they need to take an introductory course in IS as their only option for the ICR requirement. Colin will continue to consider solutions within student services.

Annual Reports - For Information Page 57 of 125 a)

Research Projects: Jeannie provided updates for two ongoing research projects with which she is involved that are studying our ICR mandated courses. The first is a comparative study between Canada and South Africa where she is supervising a PhD student from Wits University in South Africa, and Karen Swan, UWinnipeg, as a Sr. RA on the project. The research is investigating student‐led decolonial movements in higher education, focusing on the ICR at UWinnipeg as a decolonial movement emerging from student efforts, and comparing this to the student‐led #FeesMustFall movement at Wits University in South Africa. Former students behind the initiation of the ICR were interviewed, as well as a focus group with current Indigenous students on their perception of the ICR. The second project is a multi‐site study through PI Jennifer Brant at University of Toronto that is investigating the perceptions of Indigenous students and instructors in mandated ICRs in the Faculty of Education on cultural safety and ethical space. Jeannie is a co‐investigator on the SSHRC grant and led a focus group with Indigenous students from the UWinnipeg Faculty of Education, as well as conducted interviews with two Indigenous course instructors in the Faculty. Both research projects were undertaken with the supports of Andrea McCluskey at the ASSC, and were also directed/supported by Indigenous Elders at the ASSC. Both studies are ongoing.

Workshops for ICR Instructors Workshops were planned for the end of term in December, and end of term in March. Due to COVID, we cancelled any plans for a workshop in March. On December 5, 2020 we ran a workshop for ICR instructors to discuss challenges and opportunities in ICR courses; discussion of engaging the Elders’ Protocol in courses; and made broader connections to the possibilities in the One Book UWinnipeg event this year, which focused on the Indigenous graphic novel anthology This Place: 150 Years Retold. We also promoted a new form for requesting ICR funds. This workshop was well attended with 18 faculty and CAS participating. Feedback on the session suggests that there are different capacities amongst instructors, and more supports are needed for instructors in supporting Indigenous students within large classes, as well as techniques for managing negative engagement/attitude with some students. We would suggest follow up workshops on managing dynamics of ICR courses for both areas that were brought forward. The One Book UWinnipeg was seen as an overall success in that the book was well taken up by ICR instructors and provided shared venues for events, discussions, etc. The workshop included One Book UWinnipeg organizers and feedback on the event was shared with them directly.

In closing, I would like to thank the members of the Committee who have spent considerable time reviewing documents, and sharing ideas for the ongoing success of the ICR courses in accordance with the strategic direction of Indigenization at the university. I would also like to thank Lorena Fontaine and Colin Russell for sharing their expertise and institutional knowledge in support of the committee, and Larissa Wodtke for her exceptional administrative support .

Respectfully submitted by,

Jeannie Kerr

Professional, Applied & Continuing Education Senate Committee Annual Report to Senate 2020 (July 2019 – June 2020)

______

PACE Senate Committee members are: James Currie; Tabitha Wood; Kim Loeb (Chair); Ken Molloy; Sylvie Albert; Brandon Christopher; Nancy Stokes (Recorder)

Introduction

Professional Applied and Continuing Education (PACE) is a market-driven, revenue-generating unit reporting to the Dean of the Faculty of Business and Economics (FBE). PACE develops and delivers professional education to prepare students for the ongoing changes in the workplace. PACE programs appeal to both domestic and international learners wanting to improve their employability. PACE does not receive any external or government funding and student fees cover all the operating expenses.

PACE offers both full-time and part-time diplomas and certificates. Delivery is mainly face to face but PACE also offers blended and on-line courses. Many learners already possess an undergraduate degree and are looking for a post-degree credential to advance their careers. PACE certificates and diplomas are approved by the UW Senate and adhere to the academic regulations of the University. All programs are non-degree credit and most instructors are industry professionals or professional trainers/consultants. The majority of programs are aligned to professional designations and credentials.

In addition to its revenue generating programming, PACE also makes other contributions to the University such as paying building rent, improving teaching and learning spaces, supporting departments to deliver non-credit programs, providing advanced training in executive programs to senior staff, and managing various community outreach programs on behalf of the University.

The learning environment at PACE is different from the remainder of the university community as most students are on campus full days and full weeks and are therefore more impacted by physical issues that arise in classrooms/buildings. Customer service is a key success factor and PACE enjoys a healthy ‘word of mouth’ referral from being able to act responsively to the needs of students.

PACE’s ability to create sustainable and targeted growth is dependent on its understanding of the factors that drive change, continually learning about trends in industry and professional education and using that knowledge to stay relevant. PACE’s success means success for graduates, the University and the business community.

The PACE Senate Committee brought forward the following items during this Review period.

I. September 2019 – Approval of Graduands for Fall 2019

II. March 2020 – Approval of Graduands Winter 2020 i) Addition of the CPA: Payroll Compliance Legislation course to the Human Resource Management Diploma as an elective ii) Changes to the Event Management course in the Public Relations, Marketing & Strategic Communications Management Diploma course description

Senate Research Policy Committee Annual Report May 1, 2020

The Senate Research Policy Committee met once this year and unanimously endorsed revising the name and terms of reference of the committee to better reflect current research at the University of Winnipeg. The Committee hopes to have a revised terms of reference within the next month and will forward a motion to Senate for consideration.

Additionally, over the coming months, this committee will work on revising and updating the Research Manual and supporting upcoming initiatives. Overall, the intent is for the committee to play a more consistent role with respect to advising and supporting the direction of research activities.

While the committee has met infrequently over the last few years, going forward the idea is to increase frequency by having more opportunities to provide timely input.

Respectfully,

Dr. Jino Distasio

Vice-President Research and Innovation

Annual Report of the Student Appeals Committee

April 28, 2020

As Chair of the Senate Student Appeals Committee (SSAC), I submit the following report to Senate for the 2019 - 20 academic year.

As set out in the Senate Standing Rules, the SSAC hears six types of appeals submitted from students from the Faculties of Arts, Business & Economics, Education, Kinesiology, Science, and Graduate Studies:

1. deferred final exams/tests and extensions of incomplete term work; 2. retroactive withdrawals from courses (past the voluntary withdrawal date); 3. readmissions; 4. graduation/degree requirements; 5. grade appeals on procedural grounds (after DRC review), and 6. course audits.

In light of the closing of all University of Winnipeg campus buildings on March 23, 2020 as part of the Covid-19 pandemic response, the SSAC and associated subcommittees have been meeting by video conference since March 31. We have been working to anticipate concerns and support students’ needs throughout the suspension of in-person classes and exams, the extension of the voluntary withdrawal date, and the approval of alternative final grade options.

Senate Student Appeals Committee

The full committee is composed of the Associate Dean of Arts or Science (Chair) who votes only to break a tie, the Registrar (non-voting), four Faculty members of Senate, and two UWSA Senators.

The SSAC has met four times since the last annual report was submitted. In the year in review (May 01, 2019 - April 30, 2020) the committee heard nine appeals for

Annual Reports - For Information Page 65 of 125 a)

retroactive withdrawals (44% granted) and one re-appeal for a retroactive withdrawal appeal denied previously (granted). The appeals are prepared academic advisors and presented by the Chair.

The membership of the SSAC is as follows:

Type Name Affiliation Term Associate Dean of ended Associate Dean of Jens Franck Science (acting) June 30, 2019 1 Arts or Science Associate Dean of started - Chair Tabitha Wood Science July 01, 2019 Registrar 2 Colin Russell Registrar ex officio (non-voting) ended Colin Goff Sociology Faculty member of June 30, 2019 3 Senate started Emma Alexander History July 01, 2019 Mathematics & ended Shonda Gosselin Faculty member of Statistics June 30, 2019 4 Senate started Christopher Brauer Theatre & Film July 01, 2019 ended James Hanley History Faculty member of June 30, 2019 5 Senate started Paul DePasquale English July 01, 2019 ended Heather Milne English Faculty member of June 30, 2019 6 Senate started Laura-Anne Warszycki Biology July 01, 2019 ended Brenden Gali June 30, 2019 7 UWSA Senator UWSA started Noelle Sagher July 01, 2019 ended Jade DeFehr June 30, 2019 8 UWSA Senator UWSA started Mahlet Cuff July 01, 2019

Annual Reports - For Information Page 66 of 125 a)

Senate Student Appeals Subcommittee

The majority of SSAC’s work continues to be done within the subcommittee which is composed of a subset of the full SSAC committee (the Chair (non-voting), one Faculty member of Senate, one UWSA senator), and academic advisors from Academic and Career Services. The decisions are made by consensus. The subcommittee normally meets once a week throughout the three academic terms to hear appeals, which average ten to eleven per week.

The subcommittee has met 46 times since the last annual report was submitted. In the year in review (May 01, 2019 - April 30, 2020) the subcommittee heard 497 appeals (80% granted) and three re-appeals (33% granted). The committee also decides whether to hear appeals for retroactive withdrawal that have been submitted after the normal deadline (before one year has passed); there were five appeals of this nature for which the committee declined to waive the normal deadline, and therefore decided not to hear. The appeals are prepared and presented by academic advisors. In keeping with past practices, some straightforward appeals are granted by Student Services without being heard by the subcommittee. These include appeals regarding graduation/degree requirements, changing course credit to audit (or audit to credit), incomplete term work in an Athletic Therapy Practicum (KIN-2500(3), KIN-3500(6), or KIN-4500(6)), or Option 1 appeals for incomplete term work (instructor in support, deadline for grade submission has not passed).

The 497 appeals heard by the subcommittee can be classified as follows:

# appeals granted deferred final exams/tests and 147 87% extensions of incomplete term work retroactive withdrawals 295 77% readmissions 40 80% graduation/degree requirements 12 42% grade appeals on procedural grounds 1 0% course audits 2 100% OVERALL: 497 80%

Annual Reports - For Information Page 67 of 125 a)

The process has started for revising the Operating Guidelines for this subcommittee. We intend to consult with representatives from students, instructors, Academic and Career Services, Student Services, Student Support, Technology Sector, and higher administration regarding improving the Operating Guidelines.

Senate Graduate Student Appeals Subcommittee

Appeals submitted by graduate students are heard within a Senate Graduate Student Appeals Subcommittee (GSAS) which is composed of the Associate Dean of Arts or Science (Chair) who votes only to break a tie, the Registrar (non-voting), the Dean of Graduate Studies (non-voting), the Director of Student Support, the Coordinator of Academic and Career Services, one representative of Student Services, three Faculty Graduate Program Chairs, one Faculty member from a Department without a graduate program, and one UWSA Graduate Student Director.

The GSAS was created in May 2019 in response to the increased enrollment in graduate programs at the University of Winnipeg and the unique nature of graduate appeals, relative to undergraduate appeals. The operating guidelines for this committee were developed by the previous Chair, Dr. Jens Franck, the Coordinator of Academic and Career Services, Anna Hussey, the Director of Student Support, Inga Johnson Mychasiw, and the Dean of Graduate Studies, Dr. Mavis Reimer. New graduate student-specific appeal forms were created for these appeals. We will continue to review the processes associated with this subcommittee and to revise them, as necessary.

The SSAC has met seven times since the last annual report was submitted. In the year in review (May 01, 2019 - April 30, 2020) the committee heard ten appeals (80% granted). The appeals are prepared and presented by Dagmawit Habtemariam from the Faculty of Graduate Studies. In keeping with practices of the undergraduate appeals subcommittee, some straightforward appeals are granted by the Faculty of Graduate Studies without being heard by the subcommittee. These include appeals regarding Option 1 appeals for incomplete term work (instructor in support, deadline for grade submission has not passed).

I would like to thank the staff, faculty members, and UWSA representatives who contributed to this important committee over the last year. I have been grateful for their adaptable and resilient nature in adjusting to the unprecedented changes that have occurred in the last few months of the winter semester. I am especially grateful for the exceptional service provided by the University’s academic advisors, who diligently create a balance between compassionate concern and fairness for University of Winnipeg students.

Sincerely,

Tabitha Wood on behalf of the members of the SSAC

Faculty of Business & Economics – Annual Report to Senate May 2020

Introduction I have the pleasure of reporting to Senate on behalf of the Business & Economics Faculty Council.

Staff The Faculty of Business & Economics (FBE) is composed of two departments, Business and Administration and Economics. There are 35 Regular Academic Staff members (including two Department Chairs); 13 Contract Academic Staff instructors; two Department Assistants, one Dean and four staff members in the Dean’s Office.

In 2019-20 we saw the following changes:

 Farzad Zaerpour (PhD., Calgary) was appointed as Assistant Professor in the Department of Business & Administration, effective July 1, 2019.  Lori Novak, (MBA Candidate, Laurentian; CPA) was appointed as Instructor III, Department of Business and Administration, effective July 1, 2019.  Simon Berge was granted tenure and promotion to the rank of Associate Professor, effective July 1, 2019.  Maureen Kilgour was promoted to the rank of Professor, effective July 1, 2019.  Michael Breward was granted a study leave from January 1 to June 30, 2020.  Karen Harlos was granted a study leave from July 1 to December 31, 2019  Melanie O’Gorman was granted a study leave from January 1 to June 30, 2020.  Soham Baksi continued as Acting Chair of the Department of Economics until Manish Pandey’s return as Chair on July 1, 2019  Alana Dahlin was appointed the Department Assistant for Economics on a permanent, full-time basis effective July 2, 2019.  Carlene Osborne was on leave effective October 25, 2019; in her stead, Holly Bochurka was appointed the Department Assistant for Business and Administration on a term, part-time basis from November 4, 2019 to April 3, 2020.

Teaching The number of students studying in the FBE grew by 10% in 2019, accounting for 15% of the total undergraduate population. We lag behind the rest of The University in indigenous representation, with only 5% of our students self-declaring as indigenous. The proportion of international students studying in our Faculty however, far surpasses that of The University generally. 30% of the total international population at UW chooses to major in business or economics. With students coming from 56 different countries, we are very proud of the diversity in our Faculty.

In 2019 we saw the first cohort of graduates from the Master in Management (MiM) Program.

Management program

Both departments continued to improve curricula. Economics developed a new quantitative methods course to better prepare business and economics students for their higher-level courses. Both as a way to manage enrollment and improve program quality, the Department of Business and Administration completed a review of pre-requisites with changes coming into effect in September 2020. Economics also completed a review of their graduate program, broadening its scope. The program, formerly called ERDE, has been re-named as the Master of Arts in Applied Economics (MAE).

Experiential and Work-Integrated Learning Student Groups The Faculty supports four active student associations: the Business Administration Students’ Association (BASA); the University of Winnipeg Investment Group (UWIG), the University of Winnipeg Accounting Students Association (UWASA), and the Finance and Economics Students Association (FESA). Under the leadership of Beverly Tran (BASA), Justin Makus (UWIG), Shakhzod Ismoilov (UWASA) and Keelan Dagdick (FESA), these four groups held over 50 events, ranging from professional development workshops and networking opportunities, to stock simulators and pitch competitions. A special thanks to Keelan who reinvigorated FESA on a remarkably successful scale and scope. Rachel Hammerback chaired the steering committee that made significant strides in coordinating activities across groups and in designing a more professional approach to sponsorships. When including the JDCWest team, our five student groups have a budget of over $125,000, and play an integral role in creating a sense of community amongst students in the Faculty.

Annual Reports - For Information Page 84 of 125 a)

Student Competitions Students in the FBE have the opportunity to participate in several academic competitions. This year, we once again participated in JDC West, Western Canada’s largest business case competition with 600 students from across 12 business schools competing in ten different academic disciplines, debate, and athletics. The 2019 UWinnipeg team included 50 students who spent countless hours preparing for the annual competition In January. They had a great year, taking home third in Operations Management, third in participation, and first in debate. The captains of our team—Jordy de Oliveira and Sophia Hershfield – were honoured with the Executive of the Year award for their leadership. Dennis Ng and Debbie Mortimer served as Faculty Advisors to the team.

The FBE also had teams compete in the CFA Ethics and CFA Research competitions. A team of five students competed in the Ethics competition in Winnipeg, and a team of three participated in the for- credit CFA Research Competition in Calgary. Both teams were supervised by Dennis Ng and both gave excellent performances.

A UWinnipeg team, under the guidance of Debbie Mortimer, placed third in the Business and Accounting Student Case Competition (BASC) hosted by the Asper School of Business Accounting Association student group.

Four students also flew to Kelowna to compete in the Okanagan Case Competition hosted by UBC Okanagan. The team made it to the finals and ultimately placed fourth. Work Placement Programs: Co-op Education and CPA Campus Recruitment The FBE houses the University’s co-op education program with Jessica Adkin serving as coordinator. This year, 56 students (from applied computer science, business, and economics) were accepted into the program, including 16 returning students. Over the course of the year, the Co-op Education program hosted a conference, 26 hours of seminars, and four networking events. Placement rates are down this year – with only 14 students placed to date – largely due to the COVID-19 global health crisis. With the majority of our co-op students opting to complete their work term in the spring/summer and with many employers not currently able to hire, there is much uncertainty.

Christy Campbell in the Dean’s Office coordinates the CPA On-Campus Recruitment process. Students are provided with training on networking, resume writing, and interview skills in preparation for the

Annual Reports - For Information Page 85 of 125 a)

annual accounting firms’ post-secondary hiring blitz. In late September, students apply either for full- time, summer, or co-op work placements. This year, 52 students participated in the process and 25 were offered jobs (7 summer, 6 co-op, and 12 full-time). Both student participation in the program and success rates have grown year over year. Work Study Program Four students were hired to work in the Dean’s Office through UWinnipeg’s Work Study program. Under the direction of Rachel Hammerback, they assisted in four projects—on international students, trends in enrolment and declared majors, the alumni data base, and Red River College transfer students— designed to gain a better understanding of the nature of current and graduated students. Student Travel & Experiential Learning Fund The FBE has a Student Experiential Learning and Travel Fund to which any declared major in the Faculty is able to apply. This year, we provided support to seven students to the amount of $4,500. The fund covered the JDC West delegate fees for students who otherwise would not have been able to participate; supported students attending conferences, including the Queen’s University Marketing Association and the Network of Empowered Women (University of Alberta) conferences; and supported in part students travelling to the University of Prague and the University of Central Lancashire on exchange.

Research and Knowledge Mobilization Research Funding

Please see report from Office of Vice-President Research and Innovation. Seminars The Department of Economics Seminar Series hosted four speakers:

 Chetan Dave, University of Alberta, “Subjects in the Lab, Activists in the Field: Public Goods and Punishment”  Jie Zhou, University of Winnipeg, “Debt and Financial Vulnerability for Older Canadian Households”  Kim Lehrer, Universite de Sherbrooke, “The Impacts of Interactive Smartboards on Learning Achievement in Senegalese Primary Schools”  Christopher Ragan, McGill University, “If not Carbon Pricing, then What” (hosted in partnership with the Finance and Economics Student Association)

Community Engagement India Centre Housed in the FBE, the India Centre is a partnership between The India Association of Manitoba and The University of Winnipeg. It was established in 2013 and aims to provide a platform where “the community meets the academy” and where together we undertake meaningful work that is reflective of Canada’s diversity and multicultural outlook. 2019-20 was a particularly productive year for the Centre.

Annual Reports - For Information Page 86 of 125 a)

We once again provided support to two students from Manitoba’s Indo-Canadian community through the India Centre bursary. We also held several events:

 “Bollywood Gharana: A Fusion of Bollywood Hits and Indian Classical Music” a concert co- sponsored with the Winnipeg Art Gallery and the India Association;  Raza Naeem, a literary and social commentator from Lahore, Pakistan, gave a talk on the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre in commemoration of its one hundredth anniversary;  Professor Vinay Lal (UCLA), “Gandhi and (Human) Rights: Some Conundrums and a Few Questions,” co-sponsored with the Department of History.

 Professor Doris Jakobsh (University of Waterloo), “Sikhs Online: A Gendered Perspective,” co- sponsored with the Department of Religion and Culture. The India Centre organized a community event for the following day where Dr. Jakobsh chaired a panel of speakers.

 Farewell lunch for His Excellency, Mr. Vikas Swarup, High Commissioner of India to Canada. As he had recently been appointed as Secretary of Consular, Pasport, Visa and Overseas Services and would be leaving Canada, we gave him a fitting send-off to thank him for the support he provided the Centre during his time in Canada.  Ms. Jay Grewal (President and CEO, Manitoba Hydro) was our honoured guest and keynote speaker for the 5th Annual India Centre Awards Dinner. Appointed in February 2019, Ms. Grewal is the first woman to hold her position in the utility’s 58-year history. She previously held a series of executive roles in British Columbia and the Northwest Territories in the utility, resource and consulting sectors and has been an active member of various non-profit boards. At the dinner, she gave an inspiring and heartfelt talk that centered around her experience as the daughter of first-generation Indo-Canadians.  “Leading Through Change: a Conversation with Jay Grewal,” moderated by Past Chair of the India Centre Board, Dr. Sylvie Albert. Over 100 students, faculty and community members attended the event held in Eckhart-Gramatté Hall, held in conjunction with the Gala Dinner.

Alumni We continue to invest in Faculty-specific alumni programming and have found our growing relationship with alumni to be highly rewarding. The Faculty alumni committee meets quarterly to assist us in planning events and coordinating our approach to alumni relationship building.

We held two events this year: the first, a social outing at the Goldeyes game. The uptake for this event was incredible – we had 50 seats available and they were all spoken for within a matter of hours—and the weather has terrible!

The second event was hosted at Thompson Dorfman Sweatman in their new lounge space in True North Square. Nearly one hundred FBE graduates from the past ten years gathered to enjoy good food, great conversation. Attendees were also treated to the opportunity to go on short tours of True North Square and learn about its continued development with a Senior Director from True North.

nd Photos from the 2 Annual Faculty of Business and Economics Alumni Event

Facilities As with the rest of the University, we face challenges in finding adequate accommodation for faculty teaching and research, staff offices and student meeting spaces. We undertook some modest improvements. New projectors have been ordered for three classrooms and a flooring installed for 3BC58 in an effort to provide a more commodious learning environment for our graduate programs. We

Annual Reports - For Information Page 88 of 125 a)

have also decommissioned 4BC57 as a classroom with the intent of moving all Dean’s Office staff to the fourth floor and freeing up space on the first floor. In order to maintain the same number of classrooms, we found PACE suitable space on main campus and have obtained the use of 3BC56.

Words of Thanks I can’t say enough about all of the efforts that faculty and staff have undertaken to contribute to a productive year and getting us through the difficult times at the end of the Winter term.

2) Academic Excellence & Renewal i) Staffing adjustments were made to provide more direct services to students for September 1, 2019. The changes were made rather than hiring a second additional Associate Dean. 1. Scholarship Counselor – increased from .33 FTE to .5 FTE 2. Guidance Counselor – increased form .833 FTE to 1.0 FTE 3. Associate Dean – increased from .666 FTE to .833 FTE 4. .5 FTE of staffing was re-distributed to provide tutoring in the Math, Sciences & Humanities. 5. Scholarship Officer increased from 2/6 FTE to .5 FTE

3) Financial & Institutional Resilience i) A market analysis of Independent School Tuition was completed to review both domestic and international tuition levels.

ii) A three year financial model exploring the differences between a fee per course vs a flat tuition fee was tested with the Collegiate & Finance Department. This information was used to develop a three year finance strategy to shift the Collegiate tuition structure to an annual tuition fee. This change allows the Collegiate to maintain a competitive tuition structure within the current market, while simultaneously providing a more robust and sustainable financial resiliency. This change will be put into place for Fall of 2020.

4) Student Recruitment & Retention i) The Collegiate retained Probe Research Inc. in collaboration with U of W marketing to conduct market research through a series of focus groups to determine the following: (a) Public perceptions of potential Collegiate students regarding the University of Winnipeg Collegiate. Sample groups will include students familiar with the Collegiate who would attend a private school and students less familiar with the Collegiate or less likely to attend a private school. A representative sample of students including ages 15-17, gender and other demographic factors but weighted heavily toward students in higher-income households will be utilized in the study. (b) Public perceptions of potential parents of Collegiate students regarding the University of Winnipeg Collegiate. Sample groups will include parents familiar with the Collegiate who are likely to send their child to attend a private school and parents less familiar with the Collegiate or less likely to send their child to a private school. A representative sample of parents including ages 15-17, gender and other demographic factors but weighted heavily toward students in higher-income households will be utilized in the study. (c) This information is being utilized to direct marketing to potential Collegiate students.

ii) The Collegiate hosted a meet the Deans Night in November 2019 as a VIP promotional night to promote the Collegiate to prospective parents & students.

iii) The Collegiate hosted its annual Open House on January 30th.

SUMMARY OF PROGRAMS Education students are required to take mandatory Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment (CI&A) in the core subject areas. With strong research and teaching, our faculty members are able to provide the necessary programming mandated by the Province while at the same time addressing the UW Strategic Priorities. Current faculty teaching, research, and projects include inner-city issues, marginalized children and youth, child and youth mental health, early childhood development, outdoor and sustainable education, marriage and family therapy, cross-cultural and international education, and pedagogy of learning with emerging technologies. In September 2019, the total number of registered students in various streams in the Faculty of Education stood at 1,793 (50% Elementary and 50% Secondary) – compared to 1,731 in 2018, which is a 4% increase from last year. The past-year PBDE program had enrolled 363 students (11% increase from 2018), while enrolments in our Integrated, After- Degree, ACCESS, Developmental Studies, Masters, and Joint offerings appear stable and sustainable. During the reporting period, our faculty members also delivered hybrid/blended and online courses.

The Faculty transitioned into the Senate-approved Revised Education Program. We now have newly configured Early and Middle Years/Senior Years streams. Students were phased out of the former program and “scaffolded” into the new one during the 2019-20 academic year.

Practicum: During the reporting period, Education had 50 Faculty Supervisors working with 425 student teachers in the Certification program. In our Pre-Professional program, we had 199 in Year 2 and 141 in Year 3. The Faculty of Education worked with 162 schools this current 2019-20 year. Over the years, with the changing needs of overseas partners along with the interests of our students and faculty members, we have had student placements in 10 countries. Our overseas and local practicum placements feature a variety of opportunities in diverse cultures, inner-city schools, resource centres, and non-traditional settings.

The Winnipeg Education Centre (WEC) practicum had a total of 37 students and the Community-based Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (CATEP) had a total of 12 students in practicum. Our overseas practicum program in Thailand had a total of 10 EMY students (including two WEC students), and 8 SY students. This program has been cancelled for the upcoming year due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Faculty of Education was expected to travel to Germany for our practicum partnership with Eringerfield School in Geske, Germany. This program was cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

*** Coronavirus pandemic: Students in the Faculty of Education experienced a very different ‘practicum’ this spring as school closures were announced the week before our students were to go out on their 5-week practicum in March-April. Within a week a new Alternative practicum was initiated by the Director of Student Teaching, Deb Woloshyn, and approved by the University of Winnipeg Senate. Due to Covid-19, the Faculty of Education has created an alternative plan for the teaching practicum that will be completed 3 UW Faculty of Education 2019-20 Annual Report to the Senate Annual Reports - For Information Page 95 of 125 a) remotely without having our UW students in the schools. Faculty supervisors are continuing in their capacity to supervise and evaluate students. The Faculty of Education alternative plan for practicum completion has been approved by Manitoba Education Teacher Certification Branch and forwarded to the Minister of Education.

Partnerships with Schools and Divisions: • RETSD Partnership: In conjunction with River East Transcona School Division, we developed an intern program for students that allows them an extended opportunity in one school where programming has focused on differentiated instruction, curriculum design, and co-teaching skills under the direction of an expert instructor. University of Winnipeg students continue to be at the centre of the success of this program.

• Year 2 Student Teacher Resource Practicum: Recognizing the need for student teachers to learn to engage with the learner before teaching a whole class as well as to develop skills in differentiated instruction, we have developed a partnership with seventeen Winnipeg schools that now offer a specialized Resource-based practicum. This program continues to grow as schools become more knowledgeable of the possibilities.

• Alternative Education site: We have an alternative practicum opportunity in collaboration with John G. Stewart School, a school for marginalized students who are sometimes involved with the judicial system.

• Niji Mahkwa: In collaboration with Dr. Jeannie Kerr, the practicum program at Niji Mahkwa School has focused on expanding the student teachers’ knowledge of indigenous culture.

• Roots and Shoots Schools: Students continue to participate in Roots and Shoots school initiatives. Roots and Shoots is a Jane Goodall initiative in collaboration with the University of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg School Division and the Winnipeg Boys and Girls Club.

• AD1 EY/MY Collaborative Program: Program development continues for the EY/MY AD 1 alternative program. This group of students are placed in one of four schools who have entered into collaboration with the University to develop a unique practicum experience. Students are partnered with one Coperating Teacher and then nested in groupings in the same school to develop professional learning communities (PLCs). We have also engaged 3 of the students’ instructors as Faculty Supervisors who visit and meet with the students during each of the one-day-per-week visits to the schools. School administrators, teachers, professors and faculty supervisors have been brought together to further establish programming and direction for the program. This program is in collaboration with Dr. Paul Betts, Dr. Leanne Block, Foundations instructor Ira Udow and 2 additional Faculty Supervisors.

• AD1 SY Collaborative Program: This AD1SY program is modeled after the EMY program established earlier, but reflects the unique needs of student teachers in the SY program. This group of students are placed in one of five schools who have entered into collaboration with the University to develop this practicum experience. Students work with their CT and other groupings in the same school to develop PLCs. In collaboration with Foundations instructor Patti Field, as well as 4 other selected Faculty Supervisors, these team members visit and lead Professional Learning Meetings with the students during many of the one-day-per-week visits to the schools to discuss ideas and teachings from the Foundations course as they are enacted in practice. We have ongoing meetings to ensure the success of the program and to enact change for growth.

4 UW Faculty of Education 2019-20 Annual Report to the Senate Annual Reports - For Information Page 96 of 125 a) • Winnipeg School Division Read To Me Program: We have collaborated with WSD on their initiative to expand their Read To Me program and offer our students an opportunity to grow in their knowledge of this Winnipeg School Division initiative.

• Indspire Teach for Tomorrow: Build from Within Program: In collaboration with Marc Kuly and Winnipeg School Division lead Rob Riel, plans are underway to develop a practicum program for the indigenous youth Indspire program.

• TJ’s Gift Foundation: Peter Bjornson continues to work with the TJ's Gift Foundation and Lisa Neufeld (WEC Alumni) to develop a resource for children in drug-addicted homes. A resource is being developed to support teachers who are working with at-risk drug addicted youth/ at risk youth from drug-addicted homes.

ACCESS Program: The ACCESS Program consists of the Winnipeg Education Centre (WEC), the Community- based Aboriginal Teacher Education Program (CATEP), the Immigrant Teacher Education Program (ITEP), and the Indigenous Knowledge Post-Baccalaureate (IKPB). The retention rates remain strong for the many disadvantaged and vulnerable ACCESS populations.

During the 2019-20 academic year, ACCESS had an intake of 20 WEC students in September with 16 graduates. Working with 3 ITEP school division partners, we had 9 students in the ITEP Program The IKPB had 7 graduates, including 4 who will be graduating in October of 2020. Since 2016, the IKPB has had a total of 27 graduates).

The CATEP Program had an intake of 17 students in September and 10 students graduating in October. Community and school partnerships include LRSD, 7 Oaks SD, WSD, Sagkeeng FN, Rosseau River FN (although they did not send any students for 2019). It has been a few years since LSSD or RETSD have sent students. Current WEC Partner Schools (Practicum) – Amber Trails, Arthur E. Wright, Elwick, OV Jewitt (7 Oaks), Cecil Rhodes, Dufferin, Lord Nelson, Mulvey (WSD), Lavallee, Victor Mager (LRSD).

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Education: This past year, the Faculty of Education offered PBDE courses to 363 enrolled students. With our supervision model implemented in the PBDE Counselling stream in 2018, we continued to include numerous school divisions, both urban and rural. This year we had School Counselling Practicum students in 3 City of Winnipeg school divisions, 3 rural Divisions, and 1 not-for-profit setting.

A new PBDE Program in Inquiry Learning was developed in partnership with Seven Oaks School Division. A MOU was signed with University of Winnipeg and Seven Oaks School Division in January 2020. The purpose of the PBDE in Inquiry is to bring Seven Oaks School Division educators together to interrogate their practice, begin to design with intention, and contemplate what is truly meant by learner engagement.

The PBDE program at the University of Winnipeg requires that students complete 30 credit hours of course work to earn their PBDE, 18 credit hours of which must consist of the Educational Inquiry courses, should they wish to receive the special designation.

5 UW Faculty of Education 2019-20 Annual Report to the Senate Annual Reports - For Information Page 97 of 125 a) Lost Prizes/International Centre for Innovation in Education (ICIE) Seminars: As part of the PBDE program, the 2019 Lost Prizes/ICIE Conference marked the event’s 7th year. Registration was full in all 6 classes and the conference event. A new format included a day off before returning for the post-conference connected courses. Student feedback indicated that this was an essential part of maintaining wellbeing and engagement for their experience. This structure will be incorporated into future in-person events. An added feature for last year’s event was invited sessions from our local community showcasing local resources and talents.

The 2020 Lost Prizes event is going virtual in light of recent events. Initially, we cancelled 2 of our 6 courses as they could not be delivered in a remote format, and we were uncertain about potential enrollment. Early in the registration process, the 4 classes filled and we were flooded with student emails looking to gain access. As a result, we added an additional 2 sections and increased caps in all conference-related courses leaving us with the highest turnout in the events in 8 years (this is significant as the event has always run at capacity). We look forward to problem solving through this new format to deliver an engaging and meaningful event.

Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy: The MMFT Program received 44 complete applications for 2020 September admission. A total of 21 strong applicants were shortlisted for interviews. We conducted two three-hour interview events via Zoom, and have selected 13 excellent applicants for acceptance, including 2 full-time students (1 domestic and 1 international). Recruitment activities included two in-person information nights at UWinnipeg and one Zoom session in October/November. Thirty-two people attended in-person sessions, and seven people attended from abroad through Zoom video conferencing.

During the 2019-20 academic year, 14 students graduated (and will graduate) with the master’s degree: 10 in October, 2019 and four in June, 2020. A total of 107 students are enrolled in the program this academic year, including 62 students currently enrolled in one of the four required practicums (38 weeks for regular practicums or 28 weeks for condensed practicums). Six more students will start practicum in May. In addition to Aurora Family Therapy Centre as the main practicum site, other practicum sites for 2019-20 included: Klinic Community Health Centre; New Directions-Parenting Centre; Macdonald Youth Services (new); St. Amant; Interlake-Eastern Regional Health Authority; and the UW Student Wellness Centre. Practicum assignments for 2020-21 are currently underway.

The MMFT Program co-sponsored the first annual national conference of the Canadian Association for Marriage and Family Therapy on October 19-20, 2019 at the University of Winnipeg. The conference theme was “Storytelling for Healing: Indigenous and Narrative Perspectives on Relationships and Family.” Three Indigenous students and two graduates participated as panelists.

Community Outreach and Service Learning: Community outreach initiatives continue to be an integral part of the priorities for the Faculty of Education. The compulsory first-year EDUC 1810 Educational Leadership in a Service Learning Context (Service Learning) course features student placements with neighbouring agencies and organizations. This is a required course for all students entering the integrated Bachelor of Education program. The course fulfills a key part of the Faculty of Education's commitment to community-based education. Apart from developing essential instructional skills and community understanding, the students develop a network of individuals and agencies that become part of their expanding professional landscape.

Mentorship: The Mentoring At-Risk Youth Program transitioned in Fall 2019 to a new format (change from faculty to CAS coordination, change in term/registration practices). A total of 10 students completed the mentorship program this year with placements in Stony Mountain Penitentiary (min. security education 6 UW Faculty of Education 2019-20 Annual Report to the Senate Annual Reports - For Information Page 98 of 125 a) program), Winnipeg SD Adult EAL Program, and Peaceful Village.

Developmental Studies: There are 73 active students in Developmental Studies. An additional 60 year 1-3 Education students have declared Developmental Studies as a minor. Eight new students have registered in 2020, but registrations normally continue throughout the summer.

Dr. Sheri-Lynn Skwarchuk is the Developmental Studies Director, Praveen Alahakoon is the student advisor, and Katharine Tabbernor organized and supervised 21 internships for the program. Seven courses were successfully offered for the program in 2019-2020 with high enrolments in all sections compared to previous years: 2400-Observation and Evaluation taught by Updike (25 students); 3001- Applied Child Development taught by Skwarchuk (30 students); 3100-Child Family and Social Policy taught by Tabbernor (27 students); 3300-Speech Language Disorders co-taught by Castaneda/Friedman (24 students), 3400-Parents Families and Professionals taught by Yager (28 students); 3610-Topics in Leadership (20 students-capped) and 3630-Advanced Internship (21 students- capped) taught by Tabbernor. Similar numbers are expected in 2020-2021.

We are grateful to the following organizations for hosting our students in internship placements: Red River College (3 placements), Nine Circles Community Health Centre, Health Fitness Protection Program (2 placements), Inspire Community Outreach, Sandy Bay CFS, Department of Families (2 placements), Munroe Area Childcare Program for Families, Machray Day Nursery, IRCOM, SSYC Centre, Little Learners and River East Day Nursery, Festival Learning and Early Childcare Centre, Discovery, Assiniboine Children’s Centre, Sugar n Spice Kiddie Haven, Champlain Community Childcare, Winnipeg Children’s Access Agency. Half of these placements support child advocacy while the other half are placements in child care centres.

This year we had two $400 winners for the Lori Ellen Rogers Scholarship: Aaron Bachman and Alejandra Mireles. We hosted a Developmental Studies welcome evening that was attended by childcare leaders, our instructors and our students. The Applied Child Development Class was supported by a grant from the Experiential Learning Fund so students could participate in an authentic community project (ToyBox), where students generated strategies in literacy, numeracy and wellness for parents and their young children. Connections were made with the UWSA Daycare to try the strategies on children in the program. A review of the Developmental Studies program and coursework is underway.

Dr. Skwarchuk is working with the Manitoba Aboriginal Headstart Program to offer a cohort program for 25 students from rural and northern Manitoba (most with Indigenous backgrounds) to complete the Developmental Studies degree on campus. The program was planned to start in summer 2020, but has been delayed because of the COVID-19 emergency. Students erolled in this program will take courses on campus for one week per month while also completing the requirments for their progam at Red River Early Learning Program. The program is designed to be completed in 18 months and students will satisfy the requirements for a minor in Indigenous Studies (UW). With the successful launch of this pilot cohort, additional cohorts are planned.

Graduate Survey Report: Education’s most recent Graduate Longitudinal Survey has now been completed. Sent out one year after they earn their degrees, this survey tracks employment trends among our graduates. Of the 98 students (from the class of 2018) who responded, 91% reported currently being employed as a teacher

7 UW Faculty of Education 2019-20 Annual Report to the Senate Annual Reports - For Information Page 99 of 125 a) (i.e., someone who is teaching on a full-time, part-time, term, or substitute basis). For comparison’s sake, “employment as a teacher” in the preceding five years was 87% (2013), 90% (2014), 94% (2015), 94% (2016), and 93% (2017). The response rate over the years was 41% (2013), 52% (2014), 44% (2015), 42% (2016), 46% (2017) and 36% (2018). In 2017, the 3 most common areas of Teaching Majors were English (32%), History (17%), and Biology (12%) and the 3 most common areas of Teaching Minors were History (19%), Psychology (15%), and Math (9%).

WestCAST 2020: The 2020 annual Western Canadian Student Teaching Conference (WestCAST) was hosted by the University of British Columbia (February 19-21, 2020) and attended by our students and faculty members. The Faculty of Education was represented by three members of Faculty (Deb Woloshyn, Dr. Jeannie Kerr and Dr. Laura Sokal) and 7 students who presented on a diverse set of topics. This annual conference provides an opportunity for students and faculty from all Western-province universities to share research initiatives.

ToyBox Resaerch Program Due to COVID-19, Faculty of Education Professor and Director of the Development Studies Program, Dr. Sheri-Lynn Skwarchuk and her team released ToyBox, a tool designed to assist parents in preparing their children, aged two to eight, for skills in literacy, numeracy, and wellness. The tool is available in email format. In February 2020, Dr. Sheri-Lynn Skwarchuk received a $25,000 SSHRC Partnership Engage Grant for ToyBox.

8 UW Faculty of Education 2019-20 Annual Report to the Senate Annual Reports - For Information Page 100 of 125 a) In response to the shutdown of after school homework help programs and language barriers, FoE’s Kari McCluskey has developed a virtual tutoring platform to be released in April 2020 through collaboration and feedback from the Ethnocultural Council of Manitoba, Immigration Partnership Winnipeg, the Manitoba Association of Newcomer Serving Organization’s youth working group, and the Newcomer Community Development Program at Aurora.

COVID-19: Supporting Teachers in a Time of Change Drs. Laura Sokal and Lesley Eblie Trudel partnered together to launch a timely national research program on Teacher Efficacy, Stress, Attitudes and Use of technology during the pandemic. The goal of this research study is to determine the factors associated with lower teacher stress and higher teacher efficacy during the current COVID-19 wave with the intent of making recommendations to meet the next wave with evidence-based approaches to educating students during a pandemic.

UW Faculty of Education Publishing: In the 2019-20 year, we have produced a second printing of Schools that Matter: Teaching the Mind; Reaching the Heart by Steve Van Bockern (United States). This text has been used as a “bookclub” style professional development reading for school staff in a number of schools and is currently being developed into a training package. Development is underway for Teaching Pebbles by Martin Brokenleg and Steve Van Bockern and Kid Whispering: Reaching the Inside Kid by Mark Freado. Kid Whispering is an updated edition to the original. This book is the required reading for established training that is facilitated regularly across Canada, the US, and Europe. Both texts will be core readings used by independent trainers, professional development teams and post-secondary instructors. These books will be co-distributed by our partners at Reclaiming Youth At-Risk (US) and the International Centre for Innovation in Education (Germany).

Ozhitoon Onji Peenjiiee (Build from Within) Project: The Faculty of Education is a founding partner in the Build From Within - Ozhitoon Onji Peenjiiee Program. Along with Winnipeg School Division, Indspire, and the Winnipeg Foundation, the Faculty has collaborated on creating and delivering a program of instruction, mentorship, and financial support to scaffold Indigenous high school students into teaching careers. Over the past year the Faculty of Education has prepared the University to welcome the first cohort of Build From Within students. In the fall of 2020 this first cohort of Build From Within students will begin their post-secondary journey towards becoming teachers.

A plan is being developed to offer an alternative cohort delivery of the Developmental Studies degree for Early Childhood Educators in the Aboriginal Head Start Program, working in early learning centres across rural and northern Manitoba. Affiliates of the program have already completed a similar arrangement with Red River College’s Early Childhood Education. As we have a joint program with Red River College, students can continue and obtain the Bachelor of Arts Degree in Developmental Studies. With the completion of this degree, the students would also receive an upgrade in the provincial certification to an Early Childhood Educator III. Students would be funded through their community and the federal Aboriginal Head Start Program to attend campus for one week out of each month to participate in coursework.

MESSAGE FROM THE ACTING DEAN

In 2019‐2020 I completed my second year as the Acting Dean of the Gupta Faculty of Kinesiology and Applied Health. For me it has been a rewarding experience to get to know the faculty and staff who devote a lot of time and energy to delivering their programs in Kinesiology and Athletic Therapy. A number on events took place this year that I was able to participate in when the opportunity arose.

In June, Nathan Hall hosted our annual awards breakfast with the Manitoba Physical Education Supervisors Association. The Physical and Health Educators of Manitoba are affiliated with the Manitoba Teachers Society as a special area group. It is an educational and professional organization which is dedicated to serve physical and health education in Manitoba schools. This one‐day event was well attended with at least twenty‐five educators from around the province.

In the second week of March, auditors representing Canadian Council of University Physical Education and Kinesiology Administrators (CCUPKA) visited the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Health in preparation of the renewal of the accreditation of the 4‐year Kinesiology program (BKin). The Department drafted a detailed institutional self‐study report and overall, the auditors were quite happy with the quality of the program being offered at the University of Winnipeg.

In late winter, the Department of Kinesiology and Applied Health submitted a package for the Athletic Therapy program to the University Curriculum Committee. This package was in response to the competency‐based education that the Canadian Athletic Therapy Association (CATA) is recommending for all accredited programs. The UWinnipeg Athletic Therapy program has been accredited since 1999. In response to the CATA recommendations, the department made some important changes to the program, including the move away from direct access of undergraduate students to the program in first year. Students are now required to apply to the Enhanced Major in Athletic Therapy at the end of their second year.

Overall, the Gupta Faculty of Kinesiology and Applied Health had a very successful year and I would like to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to Melanie Gregg, Chair of Kinesiology and Applied Health, as well as Rebecca Stephenson for her much needed administrative support for the Faculty.

Douglas Goltz Acting Dean, Gupta Faculty of Kinesiology and Applied Health

MESSAGE FROM THE DEAN OF SCIENCE

In 2019‐2020, the Faculty of Science at The University of Winnipeg experienced another year of academic success in the classroom and in research. Our students benefitted tremendously from the rich experiences they gained through their lectures and research engagement through our dedicated faculty members. In 2019, the number of accredited degree offerings at The University of Winnipeg increased as the Bachelor of Science degree programs (4‐year and Honours) in Chemistry achieved accreditation by the Canadian Society for Chemistry (CSC). This success recognizes that the department is meeting national standards, providing high quality undergraduate student education in the classroom and in the teaching laboratory.

As a school that prides itself on undergraduate teaching, our students experienced many opportunities to answer research questions under the supervision of our faculty members in the field and in the laboratory. Senior undergraduate research courses were successfully completed with students from departments such as Anthropology, Biology, and Geography giving their presentations using an online format with video teleconferencing. Many of our undergraduate students who completed various research projects during the summer of 2019 participated in the 14th Annual Randy Kobes Undergraduate Poster Symposium which took place on September 18th. The hard work of Jenna Russell (Dean’s Office), Dr. Melanie Martin (Physics), and Andrea Wiebe (Physics) made 2019 the largest symposium to date. This year, a total of thirty‐three students presented their work and prizes were awarded for the best posters in four categories: (1) Social Sciences; (2) Biological Sciences; (3) Experimental Physical Sciences; and (4) Mathematical and Theoretical Physical Sciences.

Students from the Department of Applied Computer Science competed at the North American Region Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) at the University of Manitoba in November. The UWinnipeg’s Wesmen Coding Team, consisting of Dilbarjot Randhawa, Aalekh Patel, and Harsh Patel, were the top Manitoba team and they were in the top 10% of 170 teams competing across the North Central North America Region, which includes Minnesota, Wisconsin, Western Ontario, Iowa, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Other examples of student success include Sidney Leggett (BSc student, Applied Computer Science), who was one of four undergraduate students across Canada to be welcomed into the Arthur B. McDonald Canadian Astrophysics Research Institute’s 2020 cross‐disciplinary internship program. This opportunity provides non‐physics majors with $10,000 in funding to participate in astroparticle physics research. Alwyn Go (MSc student, Biology) was recognized with a 2019 Genome Publication Award for his paper entitled “Altered expression of cell adhesion genes and hybrid male sterility between subspecies of Drosophila pseudoobscura,” Genome, 2019, 62(10): 657–663. This award recognizes publications that make “substantial and notable contributions to genetics” and are among the top ten papers published in the journal Genome (Canadian Science Publishing). Mr. Go has been working with Dr. Alberto Civetta (Biology). Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Yvonne Dzal was awarded a Liber Ero Fellowship ($140,000) to continue research aimed at improving the survival of bats affected by White Nose Syndrome. Dr. Dzal has been working with Dr. Craig Willis (Biology).

The process of Indigenization in the Faculty of Science was advanced in 2019 by the first cohort of students through the Pathway to Graduate Studies (P2GS) Program, funded by a Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) PromoScience Program and led by Dr. Melanie Martin (Physics). This program was designed to enable more Indigenous students to enter programs in natural sciences and engineering through enriching science skill education and providing research experiences under the supervision of UWinnipeg faculty members. Funding from the NSERC PromoScience Grant program also supported an Indigenous STEAM Camp for children from the local community, led by Angeline Nelson of the Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre. Additionally, UWinnipeg’s first chapter of the American Indian Science and Engineering Society (AISES) was founded in 2019, led by Evan Loeb (BSc student, Biochemistry) and Melissa Anderson (BSc student, Physics).

The past year has provided many examples of successful research activity in the Faculty of Science. Drs. Christopher Bidinosti (Physics) and Christopher Henry (Applied Computer Science) received funding from the Western Diversification Program ($2,451,167) to work in partnership with Enterprise Machine Intelligence and Learning Initiative (EMILI) to promote machine learning and grow the digital agriculture industry in Manitoba. Canada Research Chair Dr. Nora Casson (Geography) received funding from the Canada Foundation for Innovation (CFI) ($100,000) for the Water Quality Analysis Laboratory, which is located in the Richardson College for the Environment and Science Complex. Dr. Mirjana Roksandic (Anthropology) received both NSERC Accelerator Supplements funding ($120,000) for her research into human evolution in the central Balkans, and CFI ‐ John R. Evans Leaders Fund (JELF) funding ($75,000) for her “Movement, Interaction, Resilience, Adaptation (MIRA): Integrated laboratory for the study of human‐environment interaction.” Dr. Ivan Roksandic (Anthropology) has been awarded funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) Trans‐Atlantic Platform Grant Program ($97,554) for a research project aimed at decolonizing the sacred places of the Xavante Territory of Marãiwatsédé and São Marcos, Brazil. Dr. Roksandic is a PI in the project, along with Dr. C.R. Prens (U. Federal de São Paulo ‐ Brazil) and Dr. K. Górka (U. Wrocław – Poland). Canada Research Chair Dr. Jaime Cidro (Anthropology) was one of three PI’s on a grant funded through the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) ($3,837,032) to support a Manitoba Network Environment for Indigenous Health Research (NEIHR). Their proposal is entitled “Kishaadigeh: Indigenous Self Determination through Research for our Future Generations.” Dr. Shelley Tulloch, Chair of Anthropology, noted, “this is the biggest CIHR grant UWinnipeg has ever been awarded and is a continuation of Jaime’s commitment to community‐based Indigenous health research.” Canada Research Chair Dr. Christopher Wiebe (Chemistry) has been named a fellow of the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC) for his outstanding contributions to the advancement of chemistry.

Once again, the Faculty of Science participated in a number of outreach activities which provide an important educational role for our local community. The University of Winnipeg’s external lecture series (Skywalk, Fred Douglas Place, Portsmouth, Wellington) was very successful thanks to the volunteers who were able to participate and to Jenna Russell for her organizational skills. Dr. Tabitha Wood (Chemistry) continued her work as an organizer of NSERC’s Science Rendezvous festival in May 2019. The UWinnipeg branch of Let’s Talk Science continued to bring their enthusiasm for science education all across Manitoba. Vesna Milosevic‐

Zdjelar (Physics) provided an impactful Science Day at the University of Winnipeg by hosting visiting elementary and middle school students and providing them with hands‐on science experiences on February 18, 2020. Rebecca Stephenson organized and prepared for another highly successful High School Enrichment Program for April 2020. Unfortunately, this event was cancelled due to UWinnipeg’s decision to move in‐person classes to alternate delivery, so students were not able to benefit from the hard work of our instructors in this program.

It would be difficult to think of 2019‐2020 without considering the magnitude of the problem faced by the UWinnipeg Science faculty and staff when COVID‐19 appeared late in the winter term. A pandemic was simply not something we were fully prepared to deal with. Everyone in the Faculty of Science was forced to pivot very quickly to adapt their courses for online delivery. I’m sure there were some small bumps along the way, but everyone, including our students, showed their remarkable resilience in making this adjustment. I am amazed at how quickly and efficiently all of the Department Chairs dealt with requests from the Dean’s Office. My sincere thanks goes to them for their calm approach to dealing with a very stressful event. As well as making the Dean’s job easier, they provided my office, their colleagues, and our students with peace of mind. Beyond teaching, individual researchers and departments in the Faculty of Science answered the Province’s call and made a combined donation of personal protective equipment (PPE) to Manitoba frontline health workers. The PPE donation included almost 30,000 nitrile gloves and about 250 N95 masks. Dr. Anna Stokke (Mathematics and Statistics) helped Manitobans through her appearances in the media to support math students and their families, as well as explaining the concept of “flatten the curve.”

Finally, sincere thanks must go to Rebecca Stephenson, Jenna Russell, and Tabitha Wood in the Dean’s Office. Their patience and hard work for the Faculty of Science and the University of Winnipeg is very much appreciated.
