CALL TO ORDER & ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF FIRST NATIONS TERRITORY J. MacLean called the meeting to order at 1:33 pm and A. Wiseman called the roll call. Peter Geller gave the territorial acknowledgement. I would like to begin by acknowledging that the campuses of the University of the Fraser are located on the traditional territory of the Halq'eméylem-speaking Stó:lō peoples. We express our gratitude and respect for the honour of living and working in S’olh Temexw (Our Land; Our World). In particular, I acknowledge the closest neighbours to where I am meeting from: the Sema:th, Matsqui and Leq'a:mel First Nations. Although we are meeting virtually we continue to connect with each other in Senate – and we are reminded that part of this connection is to the land that we are situated on – and that the connections we are forging in the course of this work are grounded in real relationships. And so I know that we are working together in a good way – bringing our hearts and minds to the work of ensuring that the university is a place of quality teaching and learning, a place where we honour student success in all its forms. J. MacLean acknowledged that the Cascade newspaper is doing an audio recording of the public meeting and no objections were received. 2. ADOPTION OF CONSENT ITEMS 2.1.

Senate Meeting Models - Joanne MacLean/Al Wiseman Discussion: • Explore a mixed model (in person at the beginning and ending of terms and virtual in the middle) – allows flexibility but still human interaction. • Perhaps stay with virtual meetings in the Fall to reduce overall risk • Environmental concerns – continue to meet virtually will help reduce our carbon footprint • Virtual meetings could be held when weather is bad • Suggest having alternating virtual and in-person meetings throughout year. 4.

  • Final Report
    FINAL REPORT NSERC CHAIR FOR WOMEN IN SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING BC AND YUKON REGION | 2010‐2015 September 26, 2015 Chairholder Information: Dr. Elizabeth Croft, Ph.D., P.Eng., FEC, FASME NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering (BC & Yukon Region) Associate Dean, Education and Professional Development UBC Faculty of Applied Science 5000 – 2332 Main Mall Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY WWEST has created change. Operating as Westcoast Women in Engineering, Science & Technology (WWEST), the 2010‐2015 NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering for the BC and Yukon Region, held by Dr. Elizabeth Croft at the University of British Columbia, changed the way people talk, act on, and measure gender diversity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). By changing the way we talk about STEM, we open the doors and invite women to pursue this change. Our story is one of a creative, engaging, and rewarding profession where people solve problems, design solutions, help local and global communities, and love what they do. With this story, UBC Engineering went from an annual intake of 19% women to 30% women. By changing the way we talk about diversity in STEM, we motivate people to create change. We designed easy‐to‐read business cases for change, and backed them with facts and citations. Companies asked for copies, and referenced them. Non‐profits entered co‐branding distribution agreements. We changed the discourse from a women in STEM issue to a people in STEM issue. WWEST transformed the way organizations act on encouraging diversity in STEM. We provided expertise, a hub, and a conduit for activity.

  • CWSE BC Yukon
    NSERC Chair for Women in Science & Engineering, BC and Yukon Region SECOND 24‐MONTH PROGRESS REPORT (Months 24‐48) September 5, 2014 Chairholder Information: Dr. Elizabeth Croft, Ph.D., P.Eng., FEC, FASME NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering (BC & Yukon Region) Associate Dean, Education and Professional Development UBC Faculty of Applied Science 5000 – 2332 Main Mall Vancouver, BC Canada V6T 1Z4 Executive Summary Over the past two years, the NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering for the BC and Yukon Region (CWSE BC/Yukon), operating as WWEST (Westcoast Women in Engineering, Science, and Technology) has reached over six thousand people through direct interactions, and made on impact on thousands more by leveraging local, community‐based leaders and non‐profit organizations through the WWEST Partners program and community representatives. The majority of the proposed chair objectives have been achieved, and effort is now focused on sustaining these results and transferring them to other stakeholder groups for continuation beyond the Chair term. An outstanding example of the impact the CWSE (BC/Yukon) over the past four years is illustrated through the percentage of women entering first year engineering at UBC Vancouver. When the Chair began in 2010, 19.7% of the first year class was women. This fall, 29.0% of the class will be women – a gain of almost 50%. Chairholder Elizabeth Croft and the WWEST Program are recognized region‐wide as champions for, and experts on, the full inclusion of women in science, technology, engineering and math fields. Dr. Croft was recognized as a 2013 YWCA Women of Distinction, was featured in the media thirty‐two times over the past two years, and has been invited to give talks at eleven different events, including serving as the closing keynote speaker at the International STEM Conference 2014.

Our greatest hopes could be reality in the future.” – Stephen Hawking STEPHEN HAWKING’S BRAVE NEW WORLD – SEASON 2 SERIES SYNOPSIS Professor STEPHEN HAWKING investigates today's cutting-edge science and reveals how it will transform the world in years to come in this landmark series. Stephen Hawking has spent over 40 years analyzing, understanding and describing the world that we live in. STEPHEN HAWKING’S BRAVE NEW WORLD challenges Hawking to predict where science is taking us. By exploring today’s cutting-edge technology, he draws conclusions about how different life will be in the future.
