VISION The University of Regina aspires to be a national leader in developing educated contributors, career-ready learners, and global citizens, and in generating meaningful, high-impact scholarship.

Inclusivity & Diversity We are a learning community. We value interaction between faculty members and students as the fundamental activity of the academy. We recognize and support the diversity of our students’ needs, and are inclusive of our Aboriginal, new Canadian, and international students, employees and partners. We aim to be accessible to all who wish to learn with us.

We welcome the world to our campuses.

Pursuit of Knowledge We have a driving urge to know the unknown. Our investigation of and reflection upon varied intellectual pursuits is fundamental to us.

We engage our students in these pursuits, seeking to instil in them a lifelong quest for knowledge and understanding. We reaffirm our commitment to education in the liberal arts, which is the historic core of our academic offerings. We balance our duty to academic integrity with our commitment to academic freedom in our work and interactions.

Community & Social Responsibility We employ our expertise to serve each other and society. We illuminate pressing social problems and seek solutions. The knowledge we generate enriches the community. We are legitimately concerned with all aspects of our world. We are a bridge and an interpreter between our communities, other people and other nations.

Accountability & Well-Being We are accountable for our performance to each other, our students, our alumni and the public. We value a safe, healthy, and supportive community.

MESSAGE You trust us with your gifts – and I want to thank you for that.

As a University, we have always placed the highest priority on being good stewards of your gifts. They improve the quality of life and educational experience for our students, who in turn become fully engaged citizens dedicated to building strong, healthy, and caring communities.

Whether you’ve chosen to contribute to the University’s highly successful College Avenue Campus Renewal Project, student scholarships, emergency bursaries or much-needed lab equipment, I want you to know that we make every dollar work as hard as possible.

Saving Darke Hall is in its final stage as part of the College Avenue Campus Renewal Project. The revitalization will breathe new life into one of our city’s landmark buildings. With the help of donors like you, new generations of students, performers, and community members will enjoy Darke Hall.

One of the reasons our University continues to grow is the support given so generously by people like you. For the seventh

FROM THE

PRESIDENT

consecutive year, our Fall enrolment numbers have broken all records with more than 15,000 students registered. Students are attracted to all that our University has to offer – the programs and student supports that your gifts help to fund.

Recent provincial cuts have necessitated strategic reductions across the University budget, and in challenging times like these, our donors are especially important to our University. The idea that Together We Are Stronger – the overarching theme of our Strategic Plan – has never been truer.

The economy has been hard on our students, too. Financial strain makes them vulnerable, threatening their dreams.

Your gifts help lighten the burden – and help light the way for them on their educational journey.

Your trust is hard-won, and we will work tirelessly to keep it. That is my commitment to you, because our combined efforts are making this world a better place.

Our graduates are living proof of that.

Dr. Vianne Timmons President and Vice-Chancellor

Thank you, on behalf of the University community, for your continued gift of trust.

Together We Are Stronger.

BECAUSE OF YOU, OUR STUDENTS… DRE AM. ACHIE VE. SUCCEED. 1

YOUR GIFTS IN ACTION. Nicole Callihoo (MPA’14) DONOR | ALL MY RELATIONS AWARD Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy alum Nicole Callihoo gifted $10,000 over five years to the School to create the “All My Relations Award” for students enrolled in the Master of Public Administration program.

“ This is my thank you to all those who supported me, and especially to JSGS, who helped me get to where I am in my career,” says Nicole. “I think large donations are sometimes hard for people to make, and what they might not understand is that by structuring the gift in increments it allows a person to work it into their budget.

I hope that people connect with the ‘All My Relations’ term. It’s a prayer that emphasizes how interconnected we all are, and it’s this prayer that inspired me to help those who are coming after me.”

Raquel Pasap (MPA’17) RECIPIENT | ALL MY RELATIONS AWARD A Nakota woman from Carry The Kettle First Nation in Treaty Four, Raquel Pasap pursued her master’s degree in Public Administration in hopes of one day creating new government policies and programs reflecting the needs of Indigenous people.

“ As a full-time single parent, student, and employee I struggled financially to cover daycare, rent, and additional evening childcare costs so that I could study. I was so relieved when I received the bursary. My confidence was boosted. To be honest, the first year was overwhelming for me and I questioned my ability to succeed.

If I hadn’t received anything, I’m not sure I would be contemplating my future plans. Now I am.” Raquel is very grateful to donor Nicole Calihoo.

“Her thoughtfulness changed my life.

I look forward to being able to pay it forward.”

3

Larry Hesterman DONOR HESTERMAN TRACK & FIELD AWARD The Hesterman Family created The Hesterman Track and Field Award, which has been given to deserving students more than 20 times.

Larry Hesterman, a retired businessman who believes in living life to the fullest, also believes in the University of Regina and its power to change lives.

“Sport builds character and education builds the people we want to keep in our community. Providing awards for track and field athletes means that some of the financial stress that weighs on a student is alleviated; pressure that may mean they are making a decision between books or rent. I hope it also means they get to enjoy life a little – every student should be able to relax with a beer once in a while. Being a student shouldn’t mean life is no fun!”

Joy Becker (BASC’17) RECIPIENT HESTERMAN TRACK & FIELD AWARD

“My first year of University was very difficult. Being away from home, and learning how to manage my track practices and classes, was difficult.

If I had not received financial support, I would not have been able to work as hard as I did on my courses. I would have needed a job, and couldn’t have focused on academics and athletic performance. I truly believe that the reason I received employment directly after finishing University is because of my strong academic performance and my track experience – things I wouldn’t have had without the very generous support of people like Larry Hesterman.

Now, I can’t wait to do my part to help others. I hope to give back in my community by coaching track and field at the high-school level. I want kids to have the same opportunities that I had because of sports.”

5

Joyrell Thompson RECIPIENT | AN EMERGENCY BURSARY

Joyrell Thompson faced many challenges as a working student and mother of young children. Her story is compelling. “If I had not received a bursary, I would have given up on my dreams. It’s that simple. These past few years I have been working, parenting two young children, and doing my classes simultaneously. Now, the classes I need to take are not only more intense, but are also only available during the day. This means I can’t work.

This was a problem, as I had no money left. I knew I was going to have to quit school to work, and I knew that when I did this I would never come back.

Something would always come up that would convince me I needed to work a little while longer. When I saw that I had received an emergency bursary I started to cry. It was enough to cover the classes I wanted to take for the Winter semester. I didn’t have to quit.”

Emergency bursaries mean that when life happens, education continues.

Thank you for choosing to help students remain in University when the road isn’t easy.

6

Karen Kohm DONOR (IN MEMORY OF HER NIECE) THE STEPHANIE L. KOHM NURSING AWARD Karen Kohm created The Stephanie L. Kohm Nursing Award, a $1,000 scholarship given annually to a female undergraduate who is also a parent, enrolled in the Faculty of Nursing at the University of Regina.

“My niece Stephanie was a smart, athletic, fun-loving mother of four who passed away when she was 31 years old after an extended battle with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. I saw the scholarship as a way to memorialize her courageous spirit and also as a way to support young mothers entering the field of nursing. As a business owner, registered nurse, and mother of two, I know how hard it is to balance a career and home life. I’m hoping this award will, in some small way, help young mothers pursuing their dreams.

Nursing has provided me with many great opportunities and this award is a way of giving back to the profession I love. Stephanie’s family and I are very excited to know that the Stephanie L. Kohm Nursing Award will make a difference for years to come.”

A donation in memory is a meaningful and lasting way to pay tribute to a loved one.

Thank you, to Karen, and to all of our donors who choose to make gifts in memory of family, friends, and colleagues.

DONOR SPOTLIGHT

Together, we can raise the curtain on Darke Hall again.

This campaign is about the people who will come to Darke Hall, the experiences they will have, and what that will mean to them. The South Saskatchewan Community Foundation is a leading organization which has facilitated philanthropic grants in support of the restoration of Darke Hall.

Darke Hall has given us so much. An exceptional performance stage with amazing acoustics, where everyone is welcome.

From the five-year-old pianist playing his first recital piece for an adoring audience of friends and family, to the renowned world-class performer people clamor to see, Darke Hall has memories galore embedded in its walls.

The University of Regina is grateful that the South Saskatchewan Community Foundation supports Saving Darke Hall. As a catalyst in our community for over 50 years, connecting and supporting dedicated people and charitable agencies that envision a better Saskatchewan through philanthropy, Saving Darke Hall is aligned with the Foundation’s mandate to help create and maintain strong communities for generations to come.

Such generosity is part of an overall total contribution of nearly $600,000 towards the College Avenue Campus Renewal Project and Darke Hall through donor directed funds.

The Lloyd and Duna Barber Foundation

The Lorne and Evelyn Johnson Foundation

The Derril McLeod Family Foundation

“ I chose to make a gift to renew Darke

“Lorne and Evelyn Johnson were founders in our community, leaders in the arts, and city-builders who brought an international perspective to Regina and left a legacy for our province through their foundation. Their wish was to inspire others to follow their example of involved volunteerism and philanthropy. The restoration of Darke Hall as a home for the arts will continue their vision.”

“The whole idea of people being involved in the University throughout their lives is appealing and strengthens the ties between the University and the community.

This is something my father supported – and the reason the Derril McLeod Family Foundation supported the renewal project.”

Hall because I took piano lessons there my whole youth and I just loved being able to do that in such a wonderful space. Darke Hall is also where convocation used to be held and I have fond memories of celebrating the accomplishments of our young people at the University there every year.

Together, we can improve the lives of people across our province and around the world.

The University of Regina is home to more than 400 researchers across ten faculties, two academic units, and dozens of academic departments/schools with innovative programs and established reputations for excellence.

Over the last decade, the University of Regina has emerged as a research-intensive Canadian University that leads in research impact, international collaborations, and graduate-student training. The University of Regina’s rich research enterprise expands the boundaries of knowledge with the support of both private and public funding.

Our scholars engage in cutting-edge research that is responsive to the needs of society. The University of Regina’s five areas of research strength are: Anxiety, Stress & Pain | Digital Future | Integrated Human Health: Equity, Disease & Prevention | Social Justice & Community Safety | Water, Environment & Clean Energy.

The insights and findings from research done right here at the University of Regina improve the lives of people here in our community, and around the world. Research that your gifts support. Thank you.

RESEARCH WITH IMPACT Dr. Gordon Huang, executive director of the University of Regina’s Institute for Energy, Environment, and Sustainable Communities, has launched a unique tool that houses projections about future climate change.

The free data portal, called the Canada Climate Change Data Portal (CCCDP),

is designed to help keep Canadians safe by providing easy access to future climatic scenarios, allowing for adaptation to minimize or avoid the negative impacts of climate change.

While extreme weather is a fact of life, thanks to the CCCDP, Canadians now have access to climate projections to the year 2,100. This puts life-saving data at our fingertips for the next 80 years.

A Planned Gift can help future students realize their academic dreams.

A hard-working farming couple, who also hold down full-time off-farm jobs, have designated a planned gift in their will to the University of Regina so that other students can achieve their dreams, just as their child has done.

A planned gift is a thoughtful way to ensure that the legacy you built has a lasting impact on students. It means that you can create a charitable gift now, and know that you are supporting students as they reach for their dreams.

The only daughter of our anonymous couple grew up with a dream to attend university, along with hopes of a distinguished career helping people.

With hard work and the support of her parents, she finished University and convocated with the education that allows her to join her profession and make a difference in the lives of many.

Build the world you would like to see.

Talk to us about how we can use your bequest in a way that is meaningful to you. Planned gifts can be arranged to impact your choice of areas – student support, programs or the area of greatest need at the University.

When asked, the couple states that they decided to change their will because they want other young people to have the same chance to achieve their goals. Just like their daughter.

Please remember the University of Regina in your will.

About their daughter’s educational career: “There are no words to describe it, other than to say that her success is our success.”

In 2016, the University of Regina students, staff, and faculty raised $108,000 for the United Way, the highest amount ever.

$162,152

The University received the Farm Credit Canada Commitment Award for its historic achievements and the success of its record 2016 fundraising campaign.

The Paul J. Hill School of Business JDC West team logged a total of 3,377 volunteer hours and raised close to $25,000 for Hope’s Home Charity, which provides care for children, including those with complex medical needs.

given back to our University by University of Regina staff and faculty.

Now, doesn’t that say something amazing about the place we all love?
