The University College educates students to understand the complexities of our world, to develop the knowledge and skills necessary to be active contributors to society, and to know how Christian faith compels them to bring hope, social justice and mercy into our world. Project2 6/3/14 2:30 PM Page 3 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT Sir Isaac Newton once said, “If I have seen further, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.” Casting a vision for Booth University College requires that we look beyond what is right in front of us to imagine what might be. We have to take time to climb above the whirlwind of day-to-day operations to think more broadly and more deeply about what God is doing at and through Booth University College. We must achieve clarity about where we are going. We have to have a goal in front of us. To accomplish this we have stood on the shoulders of the giants who have gone before us, those who laid the foundations of Booth University College. We have stood on the shoulders of the faculty, staff, students, alumni and donors—past and present—who have given so much to Booth. Now, having done this, we are able to see more clearly where God is leading us next.

Stoesz, Loie Gervais, & Brandy Usick, University of Manitoba Josh Seeland & Paul MacLeod, Assiniboine Community College Lisa Vogt, Red River College Laszlo Markovics, Booth University College Tod Denham, Thompson Rivers University Abstract In this article, we, as representatives from several post-secondary institutions across Manitoba and British Columbia, describe how sharing knowledge and experiences across institutions has informed and enhanced academic integrity initiatives at our respective institutions. We outline how participation in provincial, national, and international teaching and learning events as a collective has informed our work in academic integrity and led to the emergence of the Manitoba Academic Integrity Network (MAIN) in May 2019. We discuss the benefits of collaborating within a provincial network and next steps for expanding the reach of the network across institutions by engaging faculty, staff, and students.
