Jack Brackenridge Semple
Jack Semple is a virtuoso guitar player and performer whose musical interests
are eclectic and wide-ranging, although he is often categorized as a blues
musician. He began playing guitar when he was nine, and refined his mastery
of his instrument through many hours of dedicated practice.
Jack is the youngest of six children who grew up on the family farm north of
Regina. Largely self-taught, he began playing in various Regina-based bands
in his teens before performing with the Lincolns, a funk and rhythm and blues
band based in Toronto. After two years he returned to Regina, and has raised
his family here. He and his wife Tara have three children, all of whom are active
in music and the arts.
Jack tours regularly, and has released 10 solo albums, while also contributing
to television and film soundtracks from his basement studio. He has a Gemini
award for his soundtrack work on the television series Incredible Story Studio
and a Juno award for Qu’Appelle, an album of roots music.

STUDENT AWARDS
GOVERNOR GENERAL’S ACADEMIC GOLD
This award is to recognize the outstanding academic performance of a graduate student. The decision of the
Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research Scholarship and Awards Committee was based on the quality of
the thesis/exhibition, external examiner’s report, quality of the defense, course work, CGPA, publications and
presentations deriving directly from the research done for the thesis/exhibition, and on awards achieved.
The pool of applicants is all graduate students who have a thesis or exhibition deemed meritorious by the
Examining Committee, and who apply for graduation at the Spring Convocation, or who graduated at the previous
Fall Convocation. This year there were 38 students eligible for this competition.
Dr. Xiaoli Li convocated in October 2015 with a Doctor of Philosophy in Petroleum Systems Engineering.
Dr. Tony Yang, her supervisor and professor in the Faculty of Engineering, stated that Dr. Li was an exceptional
student which resulted in a thesis that will have a wide impact in her research area. Dr. Li has been the recipient
of numerous graduate scholarships and awards, including being awarded a Government Award for Outstanding
Students Abroad from the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Canada.
Academically, Dr. Li graduated with an average above 90%. She consistently outperformed other students in her
classes. Xiaoli’s supervisor notes that she was an “excellent PhD graduate student [...] with outstanding academic
performance during her graduate studies.”
Just as noteworthy, Dr. Li has published 6 peer-reviewed journal papers, 1 conference paper and currently has 2
papers under preparation. These are the result of her research where she developed a new generalized methodology
to more accurately determine the phase behaviour for solvents-assisted enhanced heavy oil recovery processes.
The external examiner for Dr. Li’s dissertation entitled “Phase Behaviour of Alkane Solvent(s)-CO2-Water-Heavy
Oil Systems at High Pressures and Elevated Temperatures” was Dr. Ian Gates, Professor and Department Head,
from the University of Calgary. Dr. Gates commented the following on Dr. Li’s dissertation, “The research is original
and is a novel contribution to the body of knowledge or water-heavy oil and solvent phase behaviour.” He goes on
further to say, “The degree of inquiry and the sophistication of the research [...] are excellent.”
The Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research is proud to claim Dr. Xiaoli Li as a graduate of the Faculty.
PRESIDENT’S MEDAL
The University of Regina President’s Medal is awarded at each Spring and Fall Convocation to a student receiving
a first degree who has shown academic excellence as well as major leadership and commitment to extra-curricular
activities while a student. The recipient this spring is Ms. Avnee Paranjape.
Ms Avnee Paranjape is graduating today with two degrees a Bachelor of Arts Honours major in English and a
Bachelor of Science major in Biology, with a CGPA of 87.7% and as the recipient of the Faculty of Arts Dean’s
Medal. In doing so, she exemplifies the University’s commitment to interdisciplinary scholarship and adds to
her impressive list of achievements. She has earned a place on the Dean’s Honours List every semester since
her second year, completed an honours paper with a very difficult to earn 90%, and shared her findings at an
international conference, alongside professors – a rare accomplishment for an undergraduate student. One of
her instructors ranks her in the top 1% of students she’s ever taught in her two-decade career of teaching. In
recognition of her accomplishments Avnee has received a major scholarship from the University of Toronto to
commence studies toward a Master of Arts.
In addition to her impressive and significant academic achievements, Ms. Paranjape has also shown exemplary
service to the university community since her first year. She has served as Treasurer of the University of
Regina World Vision club, a judge for the 2012 Shumiatcher Cup debate, and for several years as a University
Ambassador. Avnee has also been co-president and held two directorships with Engineers Without Borders, a role
that brought her into conversation with local Members of Parliament to discuss Canadian foreign aid assistance.
Her contributions to campus political life continued as lead organizer and moderator for the Get Out and Vote
campaign, for which she organized three candidate forums.
Ms. Paranjape has devoted countless hours to enhancing Regina’s cultural life. She served as a board member
for the Saskatchewan Book Awards and volunteered with the Regina Association of Middle Eastern Dance and
the Regina Folk Festival. She has raised funds for important organizations including the Alzheimer’s Society of
Saskatchewan, the Kidney Foundation, the Canadian Diabetes Association, and the Heart and Stroke Foundation.
UNIVERSITY MEDAL
The University Medal is presented annually at Spring Convocation to the most distinguished student – one who has
achieved academic excellence in all courses completed during the previous twelve months with a minimum of 30
credit hours in two semesters. Amira Muftah is the recipient of this medal at the 2016 Spring Convocation.
In 2015, Amira graduated from Campbell Collegiate, and she is currently working towards a Bachelor of Science in
Biochemistry. Over the past academic year, she has achieved a GPA of 97.90%.
While studying at the University of Regina, she has received many scholarships in recognition of her academic
achievements, including: Centennial Merit Scholarship (2015 Fall), Dean’s List; Kinesiology and Health Studies
(2015 Fall, & 2016 Winter), John Spencer Middleton & Jack Spencer Gordon Middleton Scholarship (2016 Winter),
and Queen City Vending Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies Entrance Scholarship (2015 Fall).
The Faculty of Science congratulates Amira on her accomplishments and wishes her the best of luck with her
future endeavours.
FACULTY OF ARTS DEAN’S MEDAL
The Dean’s Medal is presented annually at each Spring and Fall Convocation to recognize the academic
achievements of an outstanding student in the Faculty of Arts. The recipent this spring is Avenee Paranjape. Avnee
is also the President’s Medal recipient. Additional information about Avenee can be found under that heading.
S.E. STEWART AWARD IN ARTS
The Faculty of Arts awards annually the S.E. Stewart Award to the most distinguished of its graduates receiving a
first degree. This distinction is based exclusively on academic standing. This year’s recipient is Miranda Gudereit,
who is graduating with a BA major in History and a PGPA of 93.2%.
She has earned a place on the Dean’s List every semester since beginning her studies at the University of Regina. As
demonstrated by the impressive array of awards she has received throughout her studies, she is very much deserving
of this year’s S.E. Stewart Award. The Faculty of Arts wishes her continued success with her future endeavours.
FACULTY OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCE DEAN’S MEDAL
The Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science Dean’s Medal is presented at each Spring and Fall convocation to
recognize the achievements of an outstanding student in the Faulty of Engineering and Applied Science.
Caleb Friedrick graduates with Great Distinction with an average of 92%, which is a rare academic achievement
since studying in the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science is extremely demanding and challenging. He has
been on the Dean’s Honor list every semester during his academic studies and is the recipient of a substantial
number of prestigious scholarships and awards; including Academic Gold three times. In addition to the Dean’s
Medal, he is convocating with the Canadian Society of Mechanical Engineering (CSME) Gold Medal as well as the
Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) Gold Medal.
Caleb was a member of the only Canadian university team in the agBOT Challenge in Indiana, USA this year. The
agBOT Challenge demonstrates innovative robotic technology in farming. Eleven competitive teams including six
other universities competed in the Challenge this year. The challenge was to develop the most efficient unmanned
crop seeder capable of planting two varieties of seeds, while providing real-time data utilizing a mobile tracking
antenna. Caleb and three other team members worked diligently developing software, hardware, sensors, and
human-machine control interfaces. The team’s hard work paid off in the end and they were awarded the first place
prize of $50,000 USD. In the future, Caleb may continue to work with interested agricultural companies.
ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERS AND GEOSCIENTISTS OF SASKATCHEWAN GOLD
MEDAL IN ENGINEERING
The Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Saskatchewan (APEGS) Gold Medal is awarded
annually to an undergraduate of Engineering and Applied Science who has shown both leader ship and academic
excellence. This year’s recipient is Caleb Friedrick. He is also the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science
Dean’s Medal receipient. Additional information about Caleb can be found above.
FACULTY OF MEDIA, ART, AND PERFORMANCE DEAN’S MEDAL
Teresa Marie Puglia, graduating today with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, Major: Film Production, Great Distinction, is the
recipient of the Dean of Fine Arts Medal. The award is presented to a student graduating with a first degree, who
has demonstrated both leadership and academic achievement.
An excellent student from beginning to end, Teresa made the Dean’s List her first semester (Winter 2012) and as
well as her last, with a few more times in between. She earned many scholarships during her program as well. Not
surprisingly, she graduates today with a program grade point average of 87.27%.
She was equally consistent as a student leader. Teresa progressed through film student society ranks from 2nd
year representative to president, actively participated as a coordinator with the Living Skies Student Film Festival,
and provided her expertise and enthusiasm to fellow students, the wider film community, and to young budding
filmmakers!
Teresa has noted that she is part of the first class to complete their entire program “...knowing that the film
industry in the province would be dramatically changed.” She determined to learn all she could from those around
her, and give back as well, becoming an advocate for the industry, the art form, and her colleagues.
Her passion has definitely inspired those around her. Students, staff, and professionals want to be involved with her
projects. Mark Wihak, Department Head of Film, has noted that he feels “...fortunate to have had the opportunity to
work with her.” Gordon Pepper of the Sask Filmpool has praised her contributions as “truly impressive.” As such,
we are delighted to award Teresa the Dean’s “Medal”, a hand-built ceramic sculpture that is part of the Sukanen
Boats Series by University of Regina alumna, Barbara Goretzky.
W.A. RIDDELL AWARD IN MEDIA, ART, AND PERFORMANCE
The W. A. Riddell Award in Media, Art, and Performance award is awarded to a graduate earning her first degree
who has demonstrated exceptional artistic merit as well as academic achievement. Shina Jane Hom, who is
graduating with a Bachelor of Music Education Degree (Distinction), is today’s recipient. Ms. Hom earned an
88.83% average in her music courses – her area of artistic focus.
Shina’s commitment to her performance and teaching practice has been evident both inside and outside of the
University. She is well-known in the Faculty as a dedicated and wonderful musician. Although a flute major who
participated in Wind Ensemble and Orchestra, she also played clarinet in Concert Band and sang in the University
Concert Choir.
Outside of school, Shina has been an integral part of the music ministry at her church for many years. She
continued playing in the South Saskatchewan Youth Orchestra well into her degree, augmenting the musical
development she was gaining at University. As a senior musician in that program, she also had the opportunity to
mentor younger musicians. Along the way, she has done stints as a master class teacher, a conductor, a performer,
and a volunteer with various groups who have benefitted from her talent.
We wish Shina all the best in her future endeavours. We know from experience that her future students and
colleagues will feel blessed to have her in their midst.
FACULTY OF SCIENCE DEAN’S MEDAL
The Faculty of Science Dean’s Medal is awarded each year to the student that the Faculty of Science nominates
for the President’s Medal. The President’s Medal is awarded at convocation to the most distinguished graduating
student receiving a first degree and is based on academic standing alongside a strong demonstration of leadership
in, and commitment to, extracurricular activities. Kristen Gray is the recipient of the Faculty of Science Dean’s
Medal. Kristen is graduating with a BSc Honours in Biology, minor in Psychology, achieving High Honours with a
CGPA of 92.23%, through Campion College.
Outside of her academic studies, Kristen has truly excelled as a student volunteer. Kristen’s volunteer experiences
included: Science Rendezvous (Station Leader), B.U.G.S (Communications Director, and Fundraising Director)
Resurrection Parish (Choir Member), Sunset Extendicare (General Volunteer), and Regina Little Theatre (Actor).
During the Fall 2015 semester, she was the Supplemental Instruction Leader for Biol 222. As part of being an SI
leader, Kristen was required to attend the lectures of Biol 222 and develop study sessions for the students.
Over the Spring/Summer 2013 semester, she worked as a research student under the supervision of Dr. John
Stavrinides. Her research was centered on investigating antifungal remedies to the agricultural blight Ascochyta rabiei.
In the Spring/Summer 2014 semester, she worked with Dr. Josef Buttigieg, funded by an NSERC grant. During this
semester, her research was centered on investigating the cellular changes occurring in tumorigenic lung cells when
exposed to hypoxic conditions.
Kristen has shown herself to not only be an outstanding academic, but also a compassionate leader who has
developed strong leadership qualities through research experience and many different volunteer experiences.
Kristen is currently working as a Research Technician, under the supervision of Dr. Ravindra Chibbar, at the
University of Saskatchewan. We wish her continued success in her research and with all of her future endeavours.
UNIVERSITY PRIZE IN SCIENCE
The University Prize in Science is awarded at convocation to the most distinguished student graduating with
a first degree from the Faculty of Science. Zachary Horvath is the recipient of this prize at the 2016 Spring
Convocation. Zachary is graduating with a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, achieving Great Distinction
with a CGPA of 93.60%.
While studying at the University of Regina, he has received many scholarships in recognition of his academic
achievements, including: Academic Gold Scholarship, Association of Regina REALTORS Inc. Scholarships, Dean’s
List – Faculty of Science, Centennial Merit Plus Scholarship, Muriel E. Finlayson Undergraduate Computational
Science Research Scholarship, and The Harold J. Leibel Family Entrance Scholarship (Campion College).
Outside of the classroom, he spent many hours working with students as a Supplemental Instruction (SI) leader. As
part of being an SI leader, Zachary was required to attend the lectures of the courses and develop study sessions
for the students. He led sessions for Chemistry 105 (Winter 2015), and Chemistry 140 (Fall 2015). When Dr. Kerri
Finlay, coordinator of the SI program, was asked to comment on Zachary’s work with the SI program she stated:
“Zach was always organized and reliable, and the students quickly learned that he was an extremely valuable
resource to help them learn the course material.
Zach also always offered extra midterm and final exam review sessions for the students which were very well
attended.”During the Winter 2016 semester, under the supervision of Dr. Murphy and Dr. Gerhard, Zachary worked
on a President’s Teaching and Learning Scholar program entitled Development of a Responsive Online Homework
and Quiz System for Large Enrolment Courses. He was the computer programmer on the project, and has designed
an online Organic Chemistry Reaction Generator which will be used in a new, online, organic chemistry assignment
program to be unveiled this upcoming Fall semester in Chemistry 140 (Organic Chemistry).
The Faculty of Science congratulates Zachary on his accomplishments and wishes him the best of luck with his
future endeavours.

ACADEMIC REGALIA
The academic regalia worn by the graduates and the members of the platform procession may consist of a gown,
a hood or stole (worn over the shoulders), and a hat or mortarboard. All universities have distinctive academic
dress for each degree conferred and, at times, for the disciplines in which the degree is awarded. Hence, the
colourful variety of academic dress worn by members of the platform procession, who have graduated from dozens
of Canadian and international universities, and represent particular groups.
With the exception of students graduating with a PhD and federated college students, graduates wear black
gowns. PhD graduates’ gowns are scarlet with royal blue around the collar, down the front and around the sleeves.
Students graduating from the University of Regina who have been registered through a federated college wear
the following: red gowns for Campion College students, sky blue gowns for First Nations University students, and
royal blue gowns for Luther College students. Serving members of the Canadian Forces or Canadian Police Forces
may wear their dress uniform without an academic gown, and wear a hood corresponding to the degree they are
receiving. At today’s ceremony, the dean of their respective faculty formally hoods students. The University of
Regina also permits members of the Platform Party to hood graduates of their immediate family.

The Executive of the University of Regina Council (Executive of Council) has been empowered by Council to act on
its behalf in all matters with the provision that requesting a special meeting of Council may challenge a decision of
the Executive. Executive of Council membership is devised as a proportional basis of the academic composition of
this University.
Disciplines that are related to one another in the broader areas of teaching are, for purposes of administrative and
academic planning, brought together into Faculties, of which there are currently ten. Each Faculty is headed by
a Dean; formal membership includes the Dean and the teaching members of the various associated disciplines.
The Deans are recognized by The University of Regina Act as being the chief executive officers of their respective
Faculties and are directly responsible to the President, through the Provost and Vice-President (Academic). Subject
to the statutes of the Senate and the University of Regina Council, each Faculty has charge of all matters of
scholarship in its disciplines and programs.

and is governed by a volunteer board of directors. The association promotes the
accomplishments and supports the future development of the University of Regina,
its students and alumni.
Through fundraising and partnerships the Alumni Association has established a number of scholarships and also

lobby today or online at www.mdf-reg.ca. Proceeds from frame purchases support student scholarships.
UNIVERSITY OF REGINA ALUMNI ASSOCATION AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE
Since 1990, the University of Regina and the University of Regina Alumni Association have together honoured
outstanding faculty members in the areas of teaching, research, and service. In 2013, the program was expanded
to include the category of graduate research mentorship. The following five faculty members have distinguished
themselves amongst their students and peers and have been selected as this year’s recipients of University of
Regina Alumni Association Awards for Excellence:
Gordon Asmundson — Award for Excellence in Graduate Research Mentorship
Described as a “transformational leader” and “archetypal mentor” by students and
colleagues, Gordon Asmundson has successfully led many University of Regina
psychology students through their graduate research.
Asmundson is an accomplished researcher and his many honours include receiving
the Saskatchewan Centennial medal and being inducted as a fellow in the Royal
Society of Canada, the highest honour a researcher can receive. His work in the areas
of anxiety disorders, chronic pain, and post-traumatic stress disorder, just to name a
few, have made him an influential global thinker in the field of mental health. More
than 35 graduate students have benefited from Asmundson’s mentorship as both
a graduate supervisor and thesis committee member. His students have received
tri-council funding, been published in respected peer-reviewed journals, and attended top-ranked international
conferences, helping to secure Saskatchewan a prominent place on the global map of psychology research.
One strong mentorship quality that Asmundson’s students repeatedly cite is the laboratory environment he creates
and maintains at the University of Regina. One student notes, “In a discipline which is infamous for competitive
and uncooperative interpersonal and professional interactions between students, Gord has implemented a system
which breeds collaboration, cooperation, and mutual respect.” The lab’s trademark high morale is due not only to
Asmundson’s positivity, but also to the peer-mentorship system he has established, building strong relationships, a
collaborative environment, and future leaders in the discipline.
The Alumni Association Award for Excellence in Graduate Research Mentorship focuses on the impact of the
candidate’s mentorship on his growth and development as a mentor, the development and growth of his mentees
as future scholars and researchers, and the contribution of their shared scholarship and research to the lives of
other students and academics who witness and cite their work.
Raymond Blake — Award for Excellence in Research
Named by colleagues across the Canadian scholarly landscape as a “leading historian,”
“credit to his profession,” and “accomplished scholar,” historian Raymond Blake is
known for not only the depth and influence of his research, but also for his ability to
collaborate with others and form interdisciplinary partnerships.
Blake has written and edited 14 books, working with major university presses, and
he has several other books currently in process with the University of Toronto Press.
As many of his academic colleagues note, the gold standard for historical research is
the publication of monographs, and these works are typically the culmination of years
of painstaking archival research. The publication of so many books—alongside many
articles in scholarly journals—is an extraordinary achievement.
The quality and content of Blake’s research is also noteworthy. Some of his scholarship illuminates the history
of federal-provincial relations and enhances our understanding of the evolution of social welfare programs in
Canada. By focusing on issues such as equity, inclusion and democracy, Blake has been an influential force on the
discourse of the public good, and his research has been important to policy-makers. Blake has demonstrated a
commitment to interdisciplinary teaching and research, having collaborated with political scientists, economists,
lawyers, and sociologists, among others.
Blake is also one of a very few researchers at the University of Regina to be awarded a Social Science and
Humanities Research Council Insight Grant. This flagship funding program for humanities and social sciences
researchers is a prestigious honour that speaks to Blake’s importance and accomplishments as a researcher.
The Alumni Association Award for Excellence in Research focuses on the impact of the candidate’s research in his/
her discipline, as well as on the public good.
Alec Couros — Award for Excellence in Teaching
Known as a gifted and dedicated instructor and a strong leader, Alec Couros has been
inspiring students in the Faculty of Education and beyond through his innovative
approaches to learning and his engaging subject matter. While on sabbatical in
2012-13, Couros created and delivered a “Massive Open On-Line” class focussed on
technology and education. Describing himself as an “open educator,” Couros takes
teacher education online and makes it available around the world. In recognition of
these types of pedagogical approaches, Couros was awarded the University of Regina
Teaching Award of Excellence for Innovation in Teaching in 2015.
Couros’ dedication as a teacher is evident in the ways his students react to his classes.
The Dean of Education notes that his teaching evaluations are consistently excellent,
and many of his students submit unsolicited comments to the Faculty to show their
appreciation for his innovative teaching. Known as a dedicated instructor who “gives tirelessly of his time to
support others,” Couros is “a reflective teacher, visionary, and leader seeking to continually improve his practice, his
knowledge, and the experiences he creates for undergraduate and graduate students.”
Couros’ teaching is known and valued beyond the University of Regina. On average, Couros delivers over 20
keynote sessions per year to other universities and faculties of education, the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education,
and school divisions around the world. So respected is Couros’ expertise that the Ministry invited Couros to create
digital citizenship guidelines to be used throughout the province in support of teachers and students in their use of
technology and social media. Couros is a true visionary leader in his field.
The University of Regina Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence recognizes sustained excellence in
leadership and innovation for undergraduate teaching and learning at the University of Regina.
David Gerhard — Award for Excellence in Teaching
Department of Computer Science professor David Gerhard has been kindling the
curiosity of students across disciplines and generations for the last twelve years. Known
across the University of Regina campus and beyond as an engaging and innovative
instructor, Gerhard is attuned to the needs of his students and takes direction
from the class itself when designing a course and presenting the material. Gerhard
consistently emphasises the practical applications of computer science, asking his
upper-level students to focus on implementation-heavy projects and provide classroom
demonstrations. Gerhard’s teaching further reaches into the community through his
Continuing Education classes at the University’s College Avenue campus. In these
classes, Gerhard has taught community members—often senior citizens—how to use
Facebook and other social media, as well as iPads and mobile technology.
One of Gerhard’s most notable achievements lies in his ability to cross traditional disciplinary boundaries and
marry the worlds of computer science and the creative arts. Gerhard made fundamental contributions to the
design of creative technologies curricula at the University of Regina. This cross-disciplinary approach to teaching
incorporates technological skill in the development of systems for the creation of artistic and interpretive works,
and it gives context and history to the design and development of creative practices. For the last five years, Gerhard
has collaborated with Media, Art, and Performance faculty members to develop a minor in creative technologies
for computer science students and a new concentration in the computer science degree program. An associate
member in the Faculty of Media, Art, and Performance, Gerhard co-teaches courses with music and creative
technologies faculty and supervises interdisciplinary graduate students.
The University of Regina Alumni Association Award for Teaching Excellence recognizes sustained excellence in
leadership and innovation for undergraduate teaching and learning at the University of Regina.
Roz Kelsey — Award for Excellence in Service
Roz Kelsey’s career as a Professor in the Faculty of Kinesiology and Health Studies
leaves no doubt that she places an emphasis on social justice and embodies the ideal
of as one who serves.
Since 2014, Kelsey has worked tirelessly on a remarkable violence against women
prevention campaign that has grown to become a powerful social movement known
as Man Up Against Violence™ (MUAV). While the campaign began in the classroom,
it quickly grew and spread across the University in the form of speakers, film
presentations and discussions, and other large events involving multiple academic
and administrative departments. The MUAV events have been called “thoughtful,
informative, creative and engaging,” and the University’s Director of Security and Operations notes that this
community-centred initiative has helped her security team “provide a safe and welcoming environment for the
campus community” by, in part, “chang[ing] the way we think about sexual assault and violence against women.”
The MUAV movement challenges deeply held mindsets about masculinity and works to inspire men, particularly
male athletes, to accept their role as advocates for the prevention of violence in our communities. MUAV spends
considerable time focusing on how unhealthy constructions of masculinity play a role in domestic abuse and various
other forms of violence. The Dean of Kinesiology and Health Studies remarks, “It’s a revolution of thought led by a
strong female leader with a team of empowered young men. That’s more than special. That’s extraordinary.”
The University of Regina Alumni Association Award for Service Excellence recognizes sustained excellence in
leadership by the candidate to promote and provide awareness of the university and her discipline to the public.
Let us be the first to
congratulate you and say
“Welcome to the Club!”
As a University of Regina graduate you join a community of more than
68,000 — artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, public servants and scientists
— who are making the world a better place, one person at a time. Your
dedication to higher education and your perseverance are cause for
celebration. Today, we are proud to recognize your accomplishments.
