The recipient this spring is Caitlin Rebecca Guy. Caitlin Rebecca Guy was born and raised in Regina, and her journey to the social work program has been both challenging and rewarding. After graduating from high school, Caitlin took a year to explore the world. She spent time backpacking through Europe and working at an equestrian centre in California. Upon returning to Canada, Caitlin spent a year studying general arts and science at the University of Saskatchewan. It is there that she realized her passion for social justice, resulting in her enrolment in the Faculty of Social Work in Regina. While Caitlin was very dedicated to her academic endeavours, her employment and volunteer opportunities have been equally instrumental in expanding her passion for this field. Caitlin completed summer student internships with both the Ministry of Social Services and the Ministry of Economy. She continues to work with youth in the foster care system, and volunteer with victims of sexual assault. Caitlin’s commitment to the community through her work with the above-mentioned organizations has provided her with a diverse set of skills to utilize in her social work practice. Caitlin is incredibly grateful for the support she has received from family and friends while completing her degree. Upon graduation, Caitlin looks forward to applying her learning and commencing her social work career with the provincial government. Ultimately, she would like to pursue graduate studies, and is considering a Masters in Clinical Social Work or a Masters in Public Policy. UNIVERSITY PRIZE IN SOCIAL WORK The University Prize in Social Work is awarded to the most distinguished Social Work student achieving the highest grade point average among students graduating with a first degree in the Faculty of Social Work. The recipient this spring is, Jennifer Lynn Dmitruk. Jennifer was born in Nipawin, Saskatchewan, but has resided in Yorkton for much of her life. At a young age, she developed a strong desire to uphold the dignity and worth of all people, and recalls that she often daydreamed about working to reduce poverty and food insecurity at some point in her life. In spite of these dreams, Jennifer found herself working in an administrative capacity for much of her young adult years. Yet, it was through this work that she gained exposure to some of the systemic barriers that contribute to poverty and she felt compelled to make positive changes. After the birth of her son in 2010, Jennifer made the life-altering decision to reconnect with her dreams of making a difference in the lives of others and opted to pursue a Bachelor of Social Work degree from the University of Regina. Throughout her University experience, Jennifer found her place within the Social Work field. She has grown personally and professionally, discovered an immense alignment with anti-oppressive practice principles, and is above all grateful for the connections she made with like-minded individuals in the process. She has readily put her skills to use by serving as an active member of the Yellowhead East Branch of the Saskatchewan Association of Social Workers, and by working for the Ministry of Social Services over the last four years. Jennifer acknowledges that her University journey would not have been possible without the support of her family – especially her husband Kelly and parents Ron and Jeanette – and she hopes that her work and dedication inspires her son, Aiden, in whatever path he chooses for himself.

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.

University of Regina | 21 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. 22 | 42nd Spring Convocation 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. University of Regina | 23 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. 24 | 42nd Spring Convocation 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.
