As per Senate Executive Bylaws, the convocation subcommittee of the Graduation and Ceremonials Committee has been meeting- over the semester to consult with Guelph-Humber students, plan convocation arrangements, and formulate recommendations to Senate regarding the design of academic regalia,- the forms to be used for the presentation and admission to the degrees, and the form, content, and conduct of the convocation ceremony. There has been extensive consultation with Guelph-Humber students. Students in the Guelph- Humber degree programs graduate with both a University of Guelph degree and a Humber diploma. The Vice-Provost of Guelph-Humher, and the Guelph-Humber Registrar have met with the students, including student government leaders, to discuss these issues and get agreement on the plans. For approval: As a result of these discussions, the Graduation and Ceremonials Sub-committee makes the following recommendation to the Executive Committee for Senate's approval regarding the design of the robes and hoods for the Guelph-Humber convocation: . The robes for use by the scholars of Guelph-Humber will be plain black. The hood has been designed to combine the elements of both the University of Guelph and Humber College. It has a shell of the Humber Dark Blue edged on the outside with Humber Gold. The inside is the Guelph Red with the Gold Chevron. It is intended that this is an integrated hood for use for all Guelph-Humber degrees. All University of Guelph personnel will wear either their own robes or those of the University of Guelph. Humber College personnel will wear Humber College or their own robes. Motion: To recommend to Senate the approval of the University of Guelph-Humber i robes and hoods as described above for the graduands of the Guelph- Humber degree programs. For information: Ceremonv Details The date selected for the Gueluh-Humber Convocation is Monday June 19, 2006. The ceremony will commence at 2:30 p.m. The location will be either the Humber Gymnasium or an off campus location. There is consultation underway with Guelph-Humber students regarding the best location. Students are meeting with President Summerlee on December 9Ih, 2005 to discuss these options. Ceremonial Form The ceremony will take the same form as the University of Guelph ceremony with each student being presented to the Chancellor for conferral of the University of Guelph degree. The only change is that the student will then be greeted by the Humber College President or his representative to receive the Humber College diploma.

INTRODUCTION 1.I Type of Proposal This proposal is for a new, stand alone, joint (type 2) MA program in Public Issues Anthropology between the Universities of Guelph and Waterloo. The anthropologists at these universities are part of two highly interconnected units with a long history of professional collaboration across specialties. The Anthropologists at Waterloo currently do not have their own graduate program, although many of them have sat on graduate committees for students enrolled in Anthropology programs at other universities. Their counterparts at Guelph have Supervised MA students with a background in Anthropology within a Sociology graduate program and are also involved in several interdisciplinary graduate programs in Guelph at both the MA and PhD levels. They will continue to participate in such interdisciplinary programs as well continuing to serve as members of committees for Sociology students. 1.2 Background of proposed program This appraisal brief grew out of a broader response of the Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph to a 1999 OCGS appraisal of its graduate program. That program, which had Socio-Cultural Anthropology as an area of specialization, has been restructured and no longer includes the Anthropology specialization. The Department of Sociology and Anthropology at Guelph has had an MA in Sociology since 1967.
