Tewodros (Ted) Jaleta Ted Jaleta was born into a farm family in Dangur, Ethiopia. His mother and father could not read or write, but they believed that education would change their son’s life. After high school, Jaleta studied graphic arts at Kenya Polytechnic in Nairobi, Kenya. He also joined a track club and had dreams of competing at the Olympics. That dream ended when he was arrested demonstrating against leaders of the coup that overthrew Ethiopia’s last Emperor. He was imprisoned, miraculously escaping death, and then spent four years in a refugee camp in Sudan before escaping to Kenya. He applied to move to Canada and was accepted in 1982. Jaleta credits his running for helping him make the transition to his new life. He remains grateful to Canada and Saskatchewan for his second chance at life. He became a Canadian citizen in 1985. He attended the University of Regina from 1987 to 1989 in the Bachelor of Arts program. He has worked for the Canada Revenue Agency since 1991. Jaleta is a well-known community volunteer and leader, high-performance athlete and coach, and motivational speaker. He credits his mother’s example as a community leader and her belief in the value of education for his passion for lifelong learning and giving back to the community. Jaleta coached the U of R’s men’s and women’s track and field and cross-country teams from 2004 to 2007, and has coached a distance running club – the Jaleta Pacers – since then. Besides running, the members of the Pacers participate in
1 fundraising activities to assist Saskatchewan children and youth to overcome barriers and achieve their potential. Jaleta was named SaskSport Master Athlete of the year in 1997 and was inducted into the Saskatchewan Sports Hall of Fame in 2005. A book about his struggles and achievements, Never Give Up, was published in 2006. He fulfilled his dream of carrying the Olympic torch in 2010, near Swift Current, Saskatchewan.
CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREE R. James Tomkins, Chancellor of the University of Regina, will confer upon Tewodros (Ted) Jaleta the degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa.

William Shurniak Bill Shurniak was born on the family farm at Limerick, Saskatchewan. He began working for the Imperial Bank of Canada (now CIBC) after high school, moving to various locations in Canada. He spent two years as manager of CIBC’s main office in Kingston, Jamaica, and then transferred to Hong Kong, where he headed up the bank’s operations in the Asia-Pacific region. Shurniak left the bank to become executive director and chief financial officer of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd., a Hong Kong-based conglomerate with operations in more than 50 countries. He retired in 1997, but moved to Adelaide, Australia, a few years later to become chairman and director of three electric distribution companies. He moved back to Canada and took up residence on the family farm at Limerick in 2005. Since returning to Canada, he has served on the advisory board of the Ivey Business School at Western University, as director of Trans Canada Trail and as a trustee of the Saskatchewan Foundation for the Arts. He built the Shurniak Art Gallery in Assiniboia to house his growing art collection. He also wanted to give back to his home province and community. He was awarded the Saskatchewan Centennial Medal when the gallery opened in 2005, and he continues to donate his time to its daily operations. Shurniak has received honorary Doctor of Laws degrees from the University of Saskatchewan and the University of Western Ontario (now Western University), the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal and the Saskatchewan Order of Merit. Although he says he is officially retired, he continues to serve as a director of Hutchison Whampoa Ltd. and as director and deputy chairman of Husky Energy Inc. On most days, though, he can be found at the gallery that bears his family name.
CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREE R. James Tomkins, Chancellor of the University of Regina, will confer upon William Shurniak the degree of Doctor of Laws honoris causa.

PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATE FOR HONORARY DEGREE Presented by Richard Kleer, BA, MA, PhD, Dean of Arts
Kenneth Ronald Mitchell Ken Mitchell is professor emeritus of English at the University of Regina. He has taught everything from introductory English literature to creative writing workshops and honours and graduate classes in Canadian literature during his teaching career. Mitchell studied Journalism at Ryerson Polytechnic Institute, and, after working as a reporter, returned to school and received his master’s degree in English from the University of Saskatchewan – Regina Campus. He began teaching at the University in 1967. He served as director of creative writing at the Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts from 1970 to 1975, and has played an active role in many writers’ institutions provincially, nationally and internationally. Along with his good friend and fellow honorary degree recipient Jean Freeman, Mitchell was instrumental in establishing the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild. He has authored an impressive list of books, poetry collections, stage plays, radio productions, film scripts, lectures and papers, many of which are anchored in Prairie history and culture. He retired from teaching at the University in 2005, but continues to write and to perform cowboy poetry, which goes back to his roots on the family farm south of Moose Jaw. Among his other honours, Mitchell has received the Saskatchewan Order of Merit and the
23 Order of Canada. He has also received a University of Regina Alumni Association Award for Excellence in Research. Mitchell performs cowboy poetry in schools and at various events and gatherings alone, or with his three brothers as the Moose Jaw Boys. He continues to entertain locally, as well as during his travels abroad. He loves travelling, in part because of the unplanned and unexpected things that happen. Besides travelling, Mitchell plans to continue writing and performing, including making audiences more aware of the work of Saskatchewan folk poet Edna Jacques. Mitchell speculates that Jacques may have been the model for Sarah Binks, the fictional “Sweet Songstress of Saskatchewan” created by author Paul Hiebert, whose story Mitchell has turned into both stage and radio dramas.
CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREE R. James Tomkins, Chancellor of the University of Regina, will confer upon Kenneth Mitchell the degree of Doctor of Letters honoris causa.

PRESENTATION OF CANDIDATE FOR HONORARY DEGREE Presented by Harvey King, BA, MA, PhD, Director, Centre for Continuing Educaton
Jean Margaret Freeman Jean Freeman was born in Weyburn, Saskatchewan. She began making stuff up even before she started school, recruiting the neighbourhood kids for her playground plays. She continues to enjoy “creative multi-tasking” today as a performer, writer, director and communicator. Freeman’s passion for books started early, too. As a child she haunted the Weyburn library, but assumed the people who wrote the books were dead. That changed in Grade 6 when her best friend’s uncle wrote a book that the two girls read together. The uncle was W. O. Mitchell, and the book was Who Has Seen the Wind. Becoming a writer became a definite possibility. In high school, Freeman attended the first Saskatchewan Summer School of the Arts at Fort San. She and several other writers she met there started what would become the Saskatchewan Writers’ Guild. She joined the staff of the Saskatchewan Arts Board, promoting the Summer School and helping to establish the first arts councils in communities around the province. Later, day jobs included management positions in public relations and employee communication for Cable Regina (now Access Communications) and SaskTel. In 1995, she founded Speak Easy Enterprises as a writer, performer and speaker-coach.Freeman, who has performed on radio, in films and on TV, is still recognized for her six-year cameo role as the mayor’s granny on the TV series Corner Gas. She represented
33 the Canadian Public Relations Society on the University of Regina Senate for two terms, and was instrumental in establishing the U of R certificate program in public relations. Freeman’s recent creative projects have included storybooks and adventure stories for young readers, as well as co- authoring a memoir with her friend and former Summer School instructor, Florence James. Several new books, a movie script and a family TV series are in the works.
CONFERRING OF HONORARY DEGREE R. James Tomkins, BA Hons, MS, PhD, Chancellor of the University of Regina, will confer upon Jean Freeman the degree of Doctor of Fine Arts honoris causa.
