Message from David T. Barnard, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of Manitoba
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 19 Jan '12

19 Jan '12

Dear Students, For almost 135 years, the University of Manitoba has been shaping academic, business and community leaders, enhancing our community and conducting research that changes the world. Throughout our history, we have grown and evolved through a constant process of rethinking, re-evaluating and reassessing where we are, where we want to be and how we'll get there. Many members of the University of Manitoba community have heard me refer to the complex academic structure that exists here. Currently, we have 20 faculties and schools and 78 departments delivering programs to serve over 27,000 students. By comparison, the University of Toronto has the same number of faculties and schools, and only 14 additional departments, to serve 72,000 students. Almost 30,000 students at the University of Calgary are served by 13 faculties and schools encompassing 70 departments. At McMaster University, programs are delivered to its 27,000 students through 6 faculties and 49 departments. In fact, based on available data, no other medical-doctoral institution of our size and scope in Canada has as many free-standing faculties and schools or departments as we do. I believe that this overly elaborated academic structure impedes our academic work in at least three important ways. 1. It affects academic planning and decision making because academic leaders - especially deans and directors - are more removed from these processes than they should be. Put simply, this group is too large to bring together effectively on these and other matters. 2. This structure results in the inefficient use of our most precious resource, namely, our people, who should have the opportunity to use their skills more creatively to advance our learning, discovery and engagement missions. 3. Most importantly, the need to navigate within our highly articulated structure hinders progress on our Strategic Planning Framework priorities, notably, our commitment to providing an outstanding student experience and to enhancing our teaching and research programs in areas of strength and/or strategic importance to our province and nation. Students require more flexible program and course selection, and simpler academic regulations to achieve their educational and career goals; faculty, in turn, require greater opportunities for inter- and multi-disciplinary collaboration to develop and advance their teaching and research programs. I want to begin an important conversation within the University of Manitoba community about how we move forward and enhance our commitment to our students, our faculty and staff, and to the community we serve. It is my vision to see the University of Manitoba's academic structure better reflect our size and scope, enhancing rather than impeding our ability to deliver on our mandate. When the University of Manitoba's Strategic Planning Framework was adopted, I committed to ensuring that it would guide the decisions we make together and that we would use it to pursue our ultimate objective of achieving excellence. Initiatives like ROSE and OARs have been focused on transforming our organizational infrastructure and approaches, in order to improve the way the university conducts its work. It is now time to move forward with a plan to simplify and improve our university's academic structure, so that we can more effectively achieve our strategic vision. Some work designed to address our current academic structure is already underway. Late last year, we began a process where deans and directors of faculties and schools with natural affinities of various sorts began working in clusters to explore some new avenues of collaboration and interaction. Through this process, work on new cross-faculty academic programming, the sharing of administrative resources and facilities, and collaborative outreach activity has already begun. It has shown us that more and closer ties among units can be beneficial - to students, faculty and staff and to our community at large. This cluster mechanism, I believe, can serve as a useful starting point in the development of a plan to simplify and improve our academic structure. To this end, I have asked Dr. Joanne Keselman, Vice President (Academic) and Provost, to work with deans and directors through the cluster groups and they, in turn, with their faculty, staff, students, alumni and external stakeholders, to identify viable options for reducing the number of faculties and schools from the current total of 20 to a number closer to the national average of 13 by 2017. Based on discussions to date, it is clear that there are significant opportunities to improve our academic structure in the health sciences area. The move to interprofessional education and an increasing emphasis on multi-disciplinary research teams, combined with the need to address common issues including clinical education and program accreditation, provide compelling reasons to proceed with this cluster as a first step in the development of a plan. To this end, Dr. Keselman will work with the health sciences cluster to develop a proposal or set of options by December 2012 for consideration by our governing bodies. An interim report on this work will be provided in the spring of 2012. It is clear that other opportunities exist to improve our academic structure. I encourage faculties or departments that see possibilities where closer relationships among themselves would be beneficial to bring their ideas forward for discussion. We remain committed, as the only medical-doctoral institution in Manitoba, to contributing to our communities' and our province's cultural, social and economic well-being. This process will enhance our ability to meet the needs of our students, our faculty and our community as a whole. We want this change to be invigorating and exciting. We want it to be inclusive, and will engage the University of Manitoba in discussions about how this goal will be achieved. Finally, we will only move forward where it makes sense, and proposals will be advanced, discussed, improved and approved through the University of Manitoba's collegial governance processes. This institution will soon be 135 years old. We respect and honour our traditions but must adapt them to ensure a vibrant and prosperous future for the much loved University of Manitoba, its staff and students and the community it serves.

2011 Office of the President Holiday Greeting Card For the past two years, the Office of the President has sought submissions of original works of art for the cover of the President's holiday greeting card. For the 2011 card, we are asking for submissions of original works of poetry - specifically haiku - from members of the University of Manitoba community to use as the inside message for the greeting card. This is a wonderful opportunity to be creative, and perhaps try something new. One haiku will be featured in the President's 2011 card, which is shared with members of the University, community, corporate donors and friends. All submissions will be reviewed by a panel and assessed for their suitability. In the event that no suitable submissions are received, alternate work will be used. Please note that reproduction of the poem is for the sole purpose of the President's greeting card and that no financial gain will be made from the reproduction. GUIDELINES: Entries must be your original work and must adhere to the general rules of haiku. We are seeking examples that include the following characteristics: . A three-line form: five syllables in the first line, seven syllables in the second line, and five syllables in the third line. . A focus on nature. . A seasonal focus, appropriate to this time of year. SUBMISSION: Email up to 3 haiku poems by Monday, November 28, 4:30 p.m. to Holly Campbell at: <mailto:holly_campbell@umanitoba.ca> holly_campbell(a)umanitoba.ca. Please include a title for your poem as well as your name, email address, phone number and a brief biography.

LH masthead.jpg To Students and Staff: Today we celebrate philanthropy in all its forms. November 15, 2011 marks the 26th anniversary of National Philanthropy Day, a special day that honours the impact of people who give generously to support causes that are important to them or volunteer their time to make a difference in their community. At the University of Manitoba we pay tribute to all of our alumni and friends and the great contributions that your goodwill brings to our lives, our communities and our world. All over the world, celebrations are being held to honour this unique day. In Manitoba, the Association of Fundraising Professionals (AFP), Manitoba Chapter is hosting its own event, and I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge a few of our graduates who are being recognized for their commitment to our province: Dr. Frank J. Hechter (DMD/71, MSc/76, MEd/90, PhD/95) is being honoured for his work as an Outstanding Volunteer Fundraiser, while Dr. Gerry Price (BSc(ME)/70, MSc/72) and Mrs. Barbara Price (BHEc/69, CertEd/70) are being honoured as Outstanding Philanthropists. Our world is a better place thanks to those who share their good fortune with others. We are grateful to those who have enriched our community of learning, discovery and outreach. They are trailblazers, visionaries and innovators in their own right who have helped enrich the lives and ensure the success of our trailblazers, visionaries and innovators. If you want to learn more about how philanthropy has benefitted our university, you can read about how our donors have inspired and challenged our students and researchers to invent, grow, create, thrive and embrace the unexpected at <http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=440> http://myuminfo.umanitoba.ca/index.asp?sec=440.

LH masthead.jpg To Students, Staff and Alumni: On Remembrance Day, we reflect on the sacrifice of men and women who have given their lives to protect the rights and freedoms that we can too easily take for granted. The Avenue of the Elms on the Fort Garry Campus is a constant physical reminder that our students, faculty, staff and alumni at the University of Manitoba have been and continue to be touched by the tragedy of war. While that row of trees planted by the Manitoba Agricultural College is a memorial for its students who died in the First World War, there is nothing historic or distant about the danger that people face when they serve abroad. Cpl. Jordan Anderson, who was killed by a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2007, died before he could receive the Bachelor of Arts Degree he earned through the University's Military Support Office. Cpl. Anderson's wife accepted his degree on his behalf. It was the first time a degree was granted posthumously. While we cannot enter into the personal grief felt by his wife and the rest of his family, we do share their sadness and pride. Cpl. Anderson served his country in a life that was far too short. We are fortunate to include him among our graduates. Soldiers who serve or have served our country are fathers, husbands and sons, mothers, wives and daughters, brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts. They are nieces, nephews and friends. It is important to remember those people, those families and their painful losses so that we never lose sight of the true cost of war. We can remember by pausing for at least a moment at the 11th hour on the 11th day to reflect on our good fortune or by attending a Remembrance Day ceremony. Sincerely, David

Message from President David T. Barnard
by all-students＠lists.umanitoba.ca 27 Oct '11

27 Oct '11

To Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni: Earlier today in Halifax, the University of Manitoba added its voice to the apologies that have been expressed to Indian Residential School survivors at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. We join other national institutions which have previously expressed their deep regret for these schools and their damaging impact on First Nations, Métis and Inuit people, communities and cultures. We see this as one important step in the process of reconciliation. We are committed to advance Indigenous education and success in Canada with partners from the broader community. With our statement of apology and reconciliation, I believe we are well on our way to achieving that goal. The University of Manitoba statement of apology and reconciliation demonstrates our commitment to Indigenous students, faculty and staff. Our university remains committed to a welcoming environment where Indigenous cultures and values are included and reflected in our teaching, discovery and engagement. We trust our apology will be accepted in the spirit of generosity and reconciliation that has been the hallmark of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission process. I am pleased to share the entire text of the statement. You can find it at <http://umanitoba.ca/about/media/StatementOfApology.pdf> http://umanitoba.ca/about/media/StatementOfApology.pdf. It is our intention, having said the words of this apology, to move to reconciliation. Sincerely, David David T. Barnard, Ph.D., President and Vice-Chancellor 202 Administration Building, University of Manitoba, Winnipeg MB R3T 2N2 Canada Office: +1-204-474-9345 FAX: +1-204-261-1318 Email: president(a)umanitoba.ca cid:image001.jpg@01CC948C.DDAA9CA0

To Students, Faculty, Staff and Alumni: On Thursday morning in Halifax, I will be making an important statement at the Truth and Reconciliation Commission on behalf of the University of Manitoba. I will be addressing our past while expressing to Indian Residential School survivors and their families, and to the members of the commission, our sincere commitment to reconciliation. The leadership demonstrated by the Faculty of Social Work in identifying the potential for the University of Manitoba to pursue this course of action, and Provost's Council's early endorsement, were critical. The statement represents the work of many, and reflects advice and input from University of Manitoba scholars from a variety of academic disciplines. It has been endorsed by the Board of Governors Executive Committee and shared with the Board of Governors and the Senate Executive Committee. I would like to thank all of them for their counsel and input. We are providing live streaming video of the statement at three locations in Winnipeg and one in Thompson. .
