Donald Gavin Semple

Gavin Semple is an entrepreneur from a modest farm background who transformed a small electrical contracting company into Brandt Industries Ltd. and the Brandt Group of Companies, the first privately held business in Saskatchewan to achieve $1 billion in annual sales.

Gavin is one of six children raised on the family farm north of Regina, learning at an early age the value of hard work, which he supplemented with recordings and books about personal development and motivation. Gavin was a natural at sales, selling everything from duck decoys to insurance before joining Brandt Machine and Manufacturing as a salesman. Four years later he was president and general manager. He subsequently helped guide the growth of the business over many years as President and CEO, and continues to serve as Chairman. He has received many awards and honours for his business success and philanthropic contributions, including actively supporting the renewal and expansion of the Luther College High School campus, and in establishing Brandt’s “Thanks a Billion” corporate giving program.

He and his wife Annette celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary in May 2016.

STUDENT AWARDS

GOVERNOR GENERAL’S ACADEMIC SILVER MEDALThe Governor-General’s Academic Silver Medal is awarded at convocation to the most distinguished graduating student receiving a first degree and is based on academic excellence. Lenard Paul Arnold is the recipient of this prize at the 2016 Spring Convocation.

Lenard has distinguished himself as an excellent student and is graduating with a program average of 94.13%. He is receiving a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) with Great Distinction, and a major in Accounting. In addition to his BBA degree, Lenard is also receiving a Certificate in Economics with Distinction from the Faculty of Arts.

Although Lenard clearly distinguished himself with his academic achievement, he also made a lasting impression with his extra-curricular activities as well. Lenard was an integral member of the first campus offering of Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur (then known as Based in Business). This student-run initiative provides a one week ‘boot camp’ for men and women transitioning from service in the armed forces to running their own business. Lenard provided project management leadership and invaluable mentorship to several of these budding entrepreneurs from across the country and continued this contribution in our second offering.

Beyond his leadership role with Enactus (the campus student group the runs Prince’s Operation Entrepreneur), Lenard also represented the University of Regina at Enactus Nationals in 2014 and 2015, achieving our highest placement ever in 2014. Because of his exceptional academic achievement and lasting contributions to our community, the Faculty of Business Administration and the University of Regina are proud to recognize Lenard as “one who serves”.

FACULTY OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION DEAN’S MEDALThe Faculty of Business Administration Dean’s Medal is awarded at each Spring and Fall Convocation to a student receiving a first degree with a minimum average of 80% who has shown leadership in and commitment to extra-curricular activities while at the University of Regina. The recipient for Spring 2016 Convocation is Brenda Faye Thiessen.

Brenda is graduating with a Bachelor of Business Administration, with Great Distinction and an Accounting Major. Brenda’s graduating Program GPA is 89.85%. However, exceptional academic achievement alone does not make Brenda our Dean’s Medal winner. Ms. Thiessen’s dedication and leadership in and for her community are impressive too.

The focus of her leadership and community work has been in the area of helping children. She has extensive volunteer experience with her hometown local school board, church and bible camp. When describing her strength and philosophy about providing leadership Brenda says “I found leading by example to be the most powerful motivator. Being enthusiastic and maintaining positive communications enabled the groups I was involved in to bring our goals to successful completion”. The young people in the Maryfield area are very fortunate to have Brenda involved in their activities.

Brenda has received multiple scholarships while she has been enrolled in our faculty provided for her academic accomplishments and for her leadership and community involvement. Brenda has also been recognized for her academic excellence in the accounting area by being accepted into the Accounting Fellowship Program through the Faculty of Administration. The Faculty of Business Administration and the University of Regina are proud to recognize Brenda as “one who serves.”

LEON GOLDMAN SCHOLARSHIPThe Leon Goldman Scholarship is awarded to the most distinguished graduate of the Faculty of Business Administration receiving a first degree at the Spring Convocation. This scholarship was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Norman Gleiberman and family to honour Mrs. Gleiberman’s father, Mr. Leon Goldman, on his 75th birthday.

The recipient of the Leon Goldman Scholarship for Spring 2016 Convocation is Lenard Paul Arnold. Lenard is also the recipient of the Governor General’s Academic Silver Medal. Additional information about Lenard can be found under that heading.


BACHELOR OF EDUCATION AFTER DEGREE (BEAD) CONVOCATION PRIZEThe Bachelor of Education After Degree (BEAD) Convocation Prize was established by the Faculty of Education to encourage and recognize BEAD students. The BEAD Convocation prize is awarded to the most distinguished graduate, with an overall internship rating of “Outstanding” and the highest grade point average in the program. The Faculty of Education is pleased to present the BEAD Convocation Prize to Michelle Wall, a distinguished graduate in the Faculty of Education.

Michelle is graduating with a Bachelor of Education (Secondary) with Great Distinction. She majored in Biology with a minor in General Science. During her studies at the University of Regina, Michelle was the recipient of the Academic Silver Scholarship (Fall 2014, 2015).

Michelle received a BSc in Applied Microbiology and a MSc in Botany from the University of Guelph in Ontario. She studied the unique interactions between bacteria, fungi and plant roots, and has an enduring interest in the microbes that live in the soil. During her graduate studies, Michelle discovered a love of teaching and began teaching biology and microbiology at Red Deer College and then the University of Calgary and the University of Manitoba. She and her family moved to Regina in 2003, and though she took time to raise her children, she continued work as a sessional instructor for the Faculty of Science, and a lab instructor for the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Regina. When it was time to consider transitioning to full-time work, Michelle made the decision to pursue a BEd.

Michelle has started working as a substitute teacher with the Regina Public School Board, and is once again enjoying sharing her knowledge and experience with high school students throughout the city. The Faculty of Education congratulates Michelle Wall on her accomplishments, and wishes her much success in her future endeavours.

SASKATCHEWAN TEACHERS’ FEDERATION PRIZEAt each University of Regina convocation ceremony, the Saskatchewan Teacher’s Federation (STF) awards a prize to the most distinguished student of the graduating class in the Faculty of Education who does not hold another degree.

Raquel is committed to social justice and is one of the executive directors of STARS Regina (Student Teacher Anti-Racist Anti-Oppressive Society).

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 Studiesleaves no doubt that she places an emphasis on social justice and embodies the idealof 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.

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.

Let us be the first to congratulate you and say “Welcome to the Club!”
