Tammy Miriam Cook-Searson
Tammy Cook-Searson is a community leader, politician, businessperson,
wife and mother: a contemporary woman who is also rooted in her
Cree language and culture. As a child, her parents spent part of each
year hunting, trapping and fishing, and the experience of living on the
land strongly influenced her. Tammy believes it is important to continue
practicing the ancient ways that respect the land, the plants and the
animals.
Cook-Searson was first elected as Councilor for the Lac La Ronge Indian
Band in 1997, and became the first woman elected as Chief of the Band
in 2005. She has been re-elected ever since. With more than 10,000
members, she leads the largest Indian Band in Saskatchewan.
By virtue of her position as Chief, Cook-Searson is also President of Kitsaki
Management Limited Partnership, the for-profit development arm that
employs from 900 to 1,400 Band members in various businesses.
Chief Cook-Searson has been recognized with several awards, and says
the honourary degree from the University of Regina represents the work of
many people throughout her life.

The Faculty of Social Work Dean’s Medal is awarded to a student who has achieved a minimum Cumulative Grade
Point Average of 80% and demonstrated major leadership in and commitment to extra-curricular activities while a
student at the University of Regina. 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.

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.

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.
