Ontario was the first province in Canada to regulate the profession in 1994, resulting in a consortium of three universities (Ryerson, McMaster, Laurentian) creating education programs. The first Ryerson student cohort entered the program in Fall 1993, and 29 students are graduating this year – the largest class so far, including four Aboriginal students. In March 2012, former premier Dalton McGuinty was on campus to announce two midwifery-led birthing centres in Ontario, advancing leadership in a model recognized internationally. To celebrate the 20th anniversary, the program has hosted Birth and Its Meanings, a student art exhibit, and a family dance party is planned in the Atrium of the George Vari Engineering and Computing Centre on May 5th, International Midwives Day. Year-End Events – This time of year features annual showcases in many programs and Schools, which celebrate student academic achievement and advance the strength of Ryerson distinction. As the university continues to develop, we are proud to recognize new formats and venues for these important events, and to recognize the time, energy and leadership required. It is a privilege to congratulate students in all disciplines, as well as their professors and every member of the staff and community whose participation and support contribute so much to student success. Farewell Ken Jones – A community event on May 6th at the Mattamy Athletic Centre will honour Ken Jones, Dean of the Ted Rogers School of Management, retiring July 1st, 2013 after a stellar career at Ryerson as a professor, researcher and senior administrator. Ken joined Ryerson as a professor of geography in 1970, a department he served as Chair from 1987 to 1991. He founded the Centre for the Study of Commercial Activity in 1992, held the Eaton Chair in Retailing (1995-2005), and was awarded the NSERC/SSHRC Chair in the Management of Technological Change in Retailing (1996-2006). Among many awards and accolades, Ken received the Sarwan Sahota Distinguished Scholar Award in 2000, and the Errol Aspevig Award for Outstanding Academic Leadership in 2012. He has led TRSM through a period of remarkable development, including the renaming and new building, the launch of graduate programs, and accreditation by the prestigious Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business.
