P R E S I D E N T ’ S M E S S AG E I am pleased to present Holland College’s 2019/2020 Annual Report. This year, we celebrated Holland College’s 50th anniversary and launched a strategic planning process. To celebrate the college’s anniversary, we hosted two lectures and launched three videos that focused on the college’s growth and the contributions of the college and our alumni to the Island’s economy. Celebrating the college’s past naturally led us to contemplating the college’s future. Holland College conducted a strategic planning process using stakeholder facilitation sessions, online surveys, and one on one conversations to collect feedback from industry, the general public, students, staff, and faculty. The plan will be released in the upcoming year. A highlight of the year for me was the naming of the amphitheatre located on the Prince of Wales Campus in honour of the college’s fourth president, and a great friend and mentor, Alex MacAulay, who was president of the college from 1995 to 2005. The naming of MacAulay Court celebrates his contributions to the college and the community. In February we were invited to partner with The Conference Board of Canada and the Business/ Higher Education Roundtable to co-convene PEI Regional Sounding, an event intended to give individuals, businesses, and organizations in the province’s skills and training community the

opportunity to discuss the future skills needs of the region, we readily accepted. The event was one of several held in communities across the country hosted by the Future Skills Centre. Industry partners and members of the greater community participated to discuss labour force challenges. In mid-March, we were faced with the arrival of COVID-19. The full effects of the pandemic will be reflected in next year’s annual report, but it is not too early to note the dedication of our faculty and staff to the college and our students.

The team competed against 23 junior national teams from around the world in the IKA Buffet and the Restaurant of Nations. In both competitions, the young chefs demonstrated that Canada can keep pace with the top talent from around the world. Their efforts were the culmination of more than two years of hard work and dedication.

The introduction of the certifications was made possible through a grant from the college’s President’s Innovation Fund. The Aboriginal Coaching Modules include A Holistic Approach to Coaching, Dealing with Racism in Sport, and Individual and Community Wellness. The modules are an essential resource for those who coach, supervise, and work with Aboriginal youth in sport, physical activity, and recreation. The National Coaching Certification Program modules are a collaboration of the Government of Canada, the Aboriginal Sport Circle, provincial and territorial Aboriginal sport bodies, and the Coaching Association of Canada.

The college launched an applied research project to investigate the level of food insecurity for postsecondary students across PEI to determine the causes and develop policies to combat the problem and improve students’ eating habits.

The Holland College Student Union; the International Office; and Canada’s Smartest Kitchen, the research arm of The Culinary Institute of Canada, participated in the project, along with students in the Practical Nursing program.

The project was funded by the provincial Department of Health and Wellness through a Health Promotion Impact Grant, and the Holland College President’s Innovation Fund. It included students in all 13 of the college’s campuses and centres to determine the barriers they may face when attempting to access affordable, nutritious food.

Eleven projects were also funded by the National Research Council’s Industrial Research Assistance Program’s Contribution to Organizations fund this year. This funding encourages college faculty to assist small and medium sized companies on short term technical issues. Holland College’s Research Associate led a successful partnership between Canada’s Smartest Kitchen, Association for Community Living, and Tremploy. The Let's Get Cooking project was designed to help people with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities become more independent in the kitchen. A series of instructional videos were developed and posted on the ACL website. This project also received funding from the provincial Department of Health and Wellness.

In addition to music, food provided by The Culinary Institute of Canada, and games, the day included the unveiling of a commemorative plaque, now installed in the Weymouth Street entryway to the Charlottetown Centre.

Premier Dennis King, President Dr. Sandy MacDonald, founding President Dr. Don Glendenning, The Honourable Antoinette Perry, and student union president Connor Moerike unveil the plaque commemorating Holland College’s fiftieth anniversary.

5 0T H A N N I V E R S A RY L EC T U R E S E R I E S The first of the lecture series, An Evening with Dr. Glendenning and Friends, was a look back at the development of the college from proclamation in the provincial legislature to admission of the first students and the college’s early years. Dr. Donald Glendenning, founding president of Holland College, was joined on stage by Fred Hyndman, a member of the College Planning Committee, and Henry Purdy, one of the first instructors. Without a blueprint to guide them, the college’s first staff members researched various delivery models, visited other colleges to see what was available to adapt, and eventually developed the model for Holland College. The team was committed to creating a college of applied arts and technology as opposed to a “junior college”. 16

The three speakers shared their memories of building a college from scratch and told more than a few stories to an appreciative audience! The second lecture in the series was entitled Competency-Based Education: A Cornerstone of Holland College. CBE measures students’ progress by focusing on the demonstration of skills, as opposed to the acquisition of abstract knowledge. It was an integral component in the approach to education for the Island’s new community college, and 50 years later it is still an important element of the college’s curriculum development and delivery. The panel discussed the origins of CBE and how Holland College’s approach to CBE has changed over the years.

H O L L A N D CO L L EG E FO U N DAT I O N Donors to the Holland College Foundation contributed approximately $1.5 million in support of college priorities in 2019/20. The foundation provided approximately $1.67 million for college capital priorities and initiatives, student financial aid, and emergency assistance to students this year. More than 420 scholarships, bursaries, and awards, exceeding $500,000 in value, were awarded to deserving students to help make their post-secondary journey possible. Approximately $50,000 was raised for, and distributed to, students from the Bahamas who faced unforeseen financial need as a result of Hurricane Dorian. Three Holland College alumni were honoured with Distinguished Alumni Awards this year:

The late Brian Burke Commercial Design 1972

Chris Murray Urban and Rural Planning 1987

Cheryl Roche Business Administration 1984

This year, Aaron King, a student in the college’s Business Administration program, earned a car in recognition of his outstanding efforts during the academic year. Four other students were awarded cheques for $1,000, all based on merit, character, and academic achievement. The 19th Annual Holland College Golf Classic took place at Belvedere Golf Course under the leadership of volunteer co-chairs Allan Burgoyne, Quentin Bevan, and Allan MacDonald. Record proceeds of $75,000 were raised for student financial aid, varsity athletics, and alumni initiatives. The alumni e-newsletter, Benchmark Quarterly, was distributed to more than 16,000 alumni four times this year. In addition to sharing college news and alumni success stories, each edition of the newsletter invited alumni to participate in special events, initiatives, benefits, discounts, and contests. 17

CO L L EG E M O S T R ECO G N IZ E D O F 20 P O S T- S ECO N DA R I E S I N R EG I O N Holland College held the highest reputational rating in the region this year, placing first out of more than 80 organizations and 20 post-secondary institutions in a research survey conducted by Narrative Research. Eight out of 10 Islanders who participated in the research gave Holland College positive scores (scores of 7 to 10) when they were asked to rate the reputation of the college along with other post-secondary institutes and organizations from across the region.

T R A N S I T I O N S P RO G R A M The Holland College Transitions program has partnered with Prince Edward Island high schools to deliver this student-centered career education program since 2003. We continue to expand and enhance the program, which started out with 16 students from one high school and has grown to include 128 students from eight different schools. The program’s main goal is to help island students make informed decisions about their postsecondary education. The secondary goal is to enable the students to build the confidence and skills necessary to be successful in the postsecondary environment.

In addition to an impressive reputational rating, Islanders gave the college high points for familiarity. The college was first out of the 20 higher education institutions included in the research, well above the familiarity norm for the higher education sector. Overall, the college received a familiarity rating of 95 per cent, placing it fifteenth regionally. 18

Holland College offers Language Instruction for Newcomers to Canada (LINC) based on the Canadian Language Benchmarks from Pre-Literacy to Level 8. Reading, speaking, listening and writing are assessed in small class sizes in five different centres across the province. This training enables students to apply for citizenship, post-secondary education or attain employment as they integrate into their community. This program is funded by Immigration, Refugees, and Citizenship Canada. For more information, please see page 22.
