1 A DREAM TO CALL OUR OWN ANNUAL REPORT

2 Our campuses The Université de Moncton was created in Its three campuses are located in New Brunswick, in Edmundston, Moncton and Shippagan. A generalist institution, it offers a range of study programs at the three university levels to respond to the needs of the population it serves. The largest French-language university outside Quebec, it offers its services to the vast Frenchspeaking diaspora across Canada, making it the most important symbol of linguistic and cultural vitality for the Fancophone population living outside Quebec. It attracts an ever-increasing number of international students from more than forty countries. This document contains highlights of the full length Rapport annuel, which is available on the Web at

3 Message from the President and vice-chancellor could well be deemed the year of strategic planning at the Université de Moncton. As the festivities marking the institution s 50 th anniversary were coming to an end, we were preparing the next phase of our history. In the spring of 2013, we had already published a discussion paper to guide our reflection over the next months. Thus, we launched a vast consultation exercise that called upon a number of people, both on and off our three campuses, to express their views regarding the new face of the university, their university. Held under the banner Osez rêver (Dare to Dream), the strategic planning sessions, attended by close to 600 people, provided an opportunity to imagine the Université de Moncton of the future, and to reflect on its fundamental mission with a view for renewal and, if need be, redeployment. The exercise enabled the many people who have the future of the university at heart to share their dreams and their aspirations. The high point of the consultation exercise were the days of dialogue held on October 30 and 31: representatives from the three campuses and their communities came together to attend the last meeting where priorities for future action were validated and enriched. As a result of the process, in December 2013, the Université de Moncton adopted its strategic plan, titled Un rêve qui nous appartient (A dream to call our own). This plan will chart the course of the institution s future over the next several years. It focuses on five key areas: quality of education and student experience; commitment; internationalization; research, development, creation and innovation; excellence in governance and organizational management. They articulate the priorities and strategic objectives on which the Université de Moncton must focus its attention to accomplish its mission and reach its full potential. I urge you to consult this Annual Report to discover what we accomplished during the past year. Our university continues to face important challenges. However, I believe that we are now better prepared to overcome them. Raymond Théberge

4 1 PRIORITY Quality education and student experience Contributing to the intellectual and personal development of students is at the core of the Université de Moncton s mission. We must, therefore, create a university environment that is both inspiring and supportive for students. A quality student experience is conducive to success and perseverance in one s studies and it favours a socially and culturally rich life on campus. The Université de Moncton experience must be considered as a continuum to which each member is expected to contribute, from the recruitment process until graduation. The institution is committed to offering quality education and a range of study programs that are pertinent for both society and the labour market. This commitment is illustrated by a number of broad initiatives in which faculty members actively engage, both in various university forums and in contacts with students in the classroom. Launch of Accès emploi Édupôle generates interest Accès emploi Édupôle was officially launched in June 2013 at the Édupôle student centre. This initiative is the result of a partnership between the Cité des Jeunes A.-M.-Sormany, the CCNB Edmundston campus and the university s Edmundston campus. Funded by the Department of Post- Secondary Education, Training and Labour, Accès emploi Édupôle aims to facilitate and accelerate the transition for youth to the labour market by providing them with job search tools and workshops on various themes. Encouraging academic success at the Shippagan campus The Shippagan campus has launched a unique concept called Vitrine. It is a web-based reference tool that contains tons of information on various courses and disciplines. It includes quiz banks with solutions, templates for course plans, templates for assessments and much more. Access to this tool is limited to students registered at the Shippagan campus. 2 a dream to call our own

5 Mohamed Touaibia receives excellence in teaching award Mohamed Touaibia, associate professor at the Faculty of science (chemistry and biochemistry department), is the recipient of the excellence in teaching award. He was presented with a certificate of recognition during spring convocation ceremonies at the Moncton campus. Dr. Touaibia has been teaching at the university since He obtained a bachelor of science from the Lycée of Tenes, in Algeria, in 1991; a postgraduate diploma in chemistry from the University of Algiers in 1995; a magister in organic chemistry from the Université of Tlemcen in 1998 and a PhD in molecular pharmacochemistry from the Université Paris VII in Manon Jolicoeur shortlisted for SSHRC Impact Award A Faculty of education doctoral student, Manon Jolicoeur was on the shortlist of finalists in the Talent Award category of the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council Awards (SSHRC). Recognition event for student athletes In October 2013, the physical activity and sport service (SAPS) organized an evening of recognition under the banner Vivre vos rêves (Living the dream). Student athletes who maintained an average of at least 3.7 during the academic year were recognized during a fundraiser for both the SAPS and the CHU Dumont Foundation. The event also included a keynote speech by former National Hockey League player Steven Finn, who played in the NHL for 12 seasons with the Quebec Nordiques and two other teams. The recipient of a doctoral SSHRC scholarship, Ms. Jolicoeur was selected based on the success of her research project entitled Lire, ça compte (Reading Matters) which she has been conducting since 2009 in cooperation with hockey coaches in Southeastern New Brunswick. The Talent Award recognizes outstanding achievement by a current SSHRC doctoral or postdoctoral fellowship or scholarship award holder. This award is given to an individual who maintains academic excellence, has a talent for research and knowledge mobilization and has demonstrated clear potential to become a future leader within or outside the academic sector. annual report i Université de moncton 3

6 2 PRIORITY engagement The Université de Moncton s participation in the development and vitality of Francophone and Acadian society has been well entrenched in its mission for fifty years. The institution has been, and is still, a stepping stone to the development of Francophone and Acadian communities here and elsewhere. Dedicated to the advancement and transmission of knowledge, the Université de Moncton must also serve public interest in a significant way. An institution of learning and research, it must retain the objective of contributing to the general improvement of society by providing probing research that enables its members to better understand its evolution and ensure its vitality. The Université de Moncton also wants to offer students opportunities for experiential learning to enable them to discover societal issues and develop a sense of civic responsibility. Spotlight on the Edmundston campus contribution to its community In September 2013, a conference hosted by Vice-president Jacques Paul Couturier was held to focus on the key roles the Edmundston campus plays in its community. With its 110 employees and more than 400 students who are clients of the region s businesses, the overall impact of the campus on the local economy is estimated at close to $22.5 million annually. Round table on sustainable development and the shale gas industry In October 2013, the international marketing centre organized a round table on sustainable development and the shale gas industry, in conjunction with the Faculty of graduate studies and research, and the environmental studies master s program. The purpose of the event was to illustrate the various aspects that managers must consider to make socially responsible decisions in this industry. There were presentations by a number of scientists in their areas of expertise on the social, environmental and economic issues related to the shale gas industry in New Brunswick. Roméo Savoie honoured by alumni association In October 2013, the Moncton campus alumni and friends association honored Roméo Savoie with the Order of Merit for Université de Moncton graduates. The event, called Soirée Ovation took place at the Delta Beauséjour in Moncton. A true pioneer of contemporary art in the region, Mr. Savoie charted the course for several generations of artists. His invaluable contribution to arts and culture has made this exceptional individual a source of inspiration and pride. He holds a bachelor of arts from the Université Saint-Joseph de Memramcook (1950), a bachelor of architecture from the École des beaux-arts de Montréal (1956) and a master s in plastic arts from the Université du Québec à Montréal (1988). 4 a dream to call our own

7 Political sciences department marks 40 years In 2013, the political sciences department celebrated the 40 th anniversary of its foundation. For the occasion, the department organized a round table with alumni from the field of political sciences. The theme for discussion was the contribution of the Université de Moncton s political sciences department to the Acadian community, to Canada and worldwide. Research project on flooding In June 2013, Shippagan campus professor André Robichaud initiated a research project to study the impact of flooding to the year The research should provide answers to questions from coastal communities on the impact of coastal flooding. Open house at the Shippagan campus During its 2013 open house, held in October, the campus received 125 students from schools in the communities of Shippagan, Caraquet, Tracadie-Sheila, Néguac, Bathurst, Dalhousie and Saint-Quentin. The open house for the nursing sector was held in November in Bathurst. Law faculty celebrates 35 years In November 2013, as part of the activities marking the 35 th anniversary of its creation, the Faculty of law presented the eighth conference of the J.-Fernand-Landry conference series.

In May 2014, convocation ceremonies were held at all three campuses. Eighty-two degrees, diplomas and certificates were awarded at the Edmundston campus, while the Shippagan campus awarded 81 degrees. Finally, during convocation ceremonies at the Moncton campus, the Université de Moncton conferred close to 800 degrees. annual report i Université de moncton 5

8 3 PRIORITY Internationalization Over the last three decades, the student population and faculty of the Université de Moncton s three campuses have become highly internationalized. The university community is supportive of this trend. It must, however, keep pace with the change and invest the resources required to properly welcome and fully integrate students from all over the world in order to guarantee their success. At the three campuses, international recruitment is growing rapidly. Each campus must therefore continue to assess its capacity to welcome an ever-increasing international student population. The university hopes that the strategy for internationalization will encompass the classroom, teaching methods, collaborations in the area of research and the development of exchange and mobility initiatives for both students and faculty. Renewal of agreement with the Université de Bretagne-Sud During the summer of 2013, the Université de Moncton concluded an agreement in principle with the Université de Bretagne-Sud (UBS) supporting the renewal of collaboration between its faculty of administration and the Université de Bretagne-Sud s Faculty of law, economics and management, providing mainly for a double diploma at the master level. Conference on mobility of students and young workers In September 2013, during a visit by a Canada-France Parliamentary Association delegation, the French Consulate in the Atlantic Provinces, the Société Nationale de l Acadie and the university organized a conference on the mobility of students and young workers. Delegates, elected officials and senators discussed ways to increase mobility for youth between Canada and France, whether for study, practicums or work experience. 6 a dream to call our own

9 International mobility day International mobility day was held on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at the Moncton campus. This was an opportunity for many students to obtain information on the universities partnering with the Université de Moncton, as well as to meet students from partnering universities and local students who have studied abroad. Symposium on language rights in Great Britain and Ireland In October 2013, the International Observatory on Language Rights organized a symposium entitled Language Rights in Great Britain and Ireland: the Irish, Scottish, and Wales experiences. Guests at the symposium were Colin Williams, Cardiff University, Wales; Peadar Ó Flatharta, Dublin City University, Ireland; Robert Dunbar, University of Edinburgh, Scotland. The symposium highlighted the particular language circumstances in Great Britain and the Republic of Ireland, which are not as homogeneous as one might think. It was an opportunity to show Canadians that there are countries other than Canada where a language has a minority status in relation to English. First cohort of Brazilian students The university has welcomed its first cohort of five students from Brazil. This is an initiative of the Science without Borders program, mainly funded by the Government of Brazil. In the summer of 2013, these students participated in the extended services Explore immersion program. They met with professors from the Shippagan campus coastal zones management program. Economic information Observatory A project to establish an Economic Information Observatory has been initiated by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the French Chamber of Commerce in Canada Atlantic Network, the Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Chamber of Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, Arts and Crafts and PROVIS, the Shippagan campus observatory for long-term planning and information and scientific monitoring. This initiative is part of the regional cooperation between the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon. International conference on the different varieties of French used in Canada In June 2014, the university hosted the 5 th edition of Les français d ici, an international conference on the different varieties of French used in Canada. Organized by the university s research centre for applied linguistics and the project entitled Le français à la mesure d un continent : un patrimoine en partage (France Martineau, director), the conference received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council s Major Collaborative Research Initiatives. Lecturers were Michel Francard (Université de Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgique), Alexandra Jaffe (California State University, Long Beach, California, United States) and Marie-Ève Perrot (Université d Orléans, France). annual report i Université de moncton 7

10 4 PRIORITY Research, development, creation and innovation Developing research and graduate programs are among the Université de Moncton s priorities. We firmly believe that the reputation of an institution of knowledge is largely based on its capacity to conduct strategic research activities that generate, among other things, an increase in knowledge, development, creation and innovation (RDCI). Although research mostly serves the purpose of advancing knowledge, it also impacts several facets of the strategic plan, namely support to learning and recruitment. The development, transfer and communication of new knowledge broaden the horizons of an institution and raise its profile. RDCI is an area of potential growth that will be instrumental for the Université de Moncton. Therefore, we must invest in its infrastructure and intensify our support in that area. Canada Research Chair in Polar and Boreal Ecology The university has been awarded a new Canada research chair to be known as the Canada Research Chair in Polar and Boreal Ecology. Nicolas Lecomte, Faculty of science (biology department), is the chair holder. Dr. Lecomte s goal is to identify major changes occurring in polar and boreal ecosystems through short and long-term research projects, including large-scale spatial studies conducted in stations located throughout the Arctic. 8 a dream to call our own Northern Hardwoods Research Institute The Northern Hardwoods Research Institute was inaugurated in February 2014 at the Edmundston campus. The applied research centre will increase the practical knowledge used to develop hardwood management silviculture programs. An initiative that will ensure long-term sustainability of the resource, it could generate products that are more competitive in both national and international markets. Health Research Chair in Aging Populations In June 2014, the CNFS - Université de Moncton Health Research Chair in Aging Populations was officially launched. A project of the Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS), the new chair is led by Suzanne Dupuis-Blanchard. The school of nursing professor has been director of the institution s research centre on aging for several years. This research chair will provide the university with an opportunity to develop expertise in an area of great relevance to our region population aging is particularly high in Atlantic French-speaking communities. Innovation Foundation Research Chair in Biosciences Department of biology professor Marc Surette is the holder of the New Brunswick Innovation Foundation Research Chair in Biosciences. This new research chair will focus on the study of lipids, including the development of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids for food and pharmaceuticals. Dr. Surette will receive an amount of $1.175 million over a period of five years for his research.

11 Research group receives excellence award The Littoral et vie research group, a group studying life on the coast, has received an excellence award. The article entitled Human competences that facilitate adaptation to climate change: a research in progress published in the International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and Management received the journal s first excellence award for The authors of the article are: Jackie Kerry (research group), Diane Pruneau (education), Sylvie Blain (education), Joanne Langis (research group), Pierre-Yves Barbier (education), Marie-Andrée Mallet (research group), Evgueni Vichnevetski (education), Jimmy Therrien (research group), Paul Deguire (sciences), Viktor Freiman (education), Mathieu Lang (education) and Anne-Marie Laroche (engineering). In the research described in the article, the authors focused on the adaptation competencies to climate change of two groups of Canadian citizens: municipal employees and farmers. The Littoral et vie research group is now also a member of the Development Solutions Network, a network under the umbrella of the United Nations. Language Industry Development Centre In May 2014, the Government of New Brunswick announced an investment of $440,000 to help establish a language industry development centre (DILan). The project, valued at more than $1.7 million over five years, aims at developing new technologies to support the province s language industry. In June 2014, the business partner in the initiative, Transmed, established offices on the Shippagan campus to be in close proximity to the researchers. Canadian Research Chair in Acadian and Minority Studies The university was awarded a tier II Canada Research Chair and funding of $500,000, renewable once. The holder of the chair is Benoit Doyon- Gosselin who submitted the project entitled Canadian Research Chair in Acadian and Minority Studies. Professor Doyon-Gosselin received an additional grant of $42,766 from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation s Canadian Research Chairs Infrastructure Fund. annual report i Université de moncton 9

12 5 PRIORITY Excellence in governance and organizational management Excellence in governance and organizational management are pillars of the Université de Moncton s mission. We must strive to implement processes for decision-making, management and control that lead to accountability and transparency in organizational governance. The discharge of our mandate and mission in the areas of education and research must be supported by budgetary and administrative processes that support these objectives. At the three campuses, we must manage available resources efficiently and responsibly. We must harmonize investments and the allocation of our limited resources with the institution s strategic priorities. It is essential that we periodically review the university s mechanism for governance as well as its operational and decision-making processes. Renewing the governance framework and adopting the best practices available in the university environment will go a long way to ensuring open and sound management. The quality and reputation of a university is first and foremost determined by the capacity of its human capital to develop and transmit knowledge. However, we must also bear in mind that the accomplishment of a university s mission needs to be supported by rigorous governance objectives and responsible and transparent management. A dream to call our own At its November 30 th meeting in Moncton, the Board of Governors adopted a strategic plan to chart the course of the institution s future until Entitled Un rêve qui nous appartient (A dream to call our own), the plan stems from a vast consultation process that mobilized the entire university community. Strategic plan: one step further On June 7, 2014, the university took another step in implementing its strategic plan. The Board of Governors governance committee tabled a work plan that provides for the undertaking of 18 projects grouped under nine themes. The Board intends to adopt best practices, a governance structure and a code of conduct for its members. It also plans to put forth a compensation policy for the institution s senior management. Forestry training recovery plan On July 1 st, 2013, the Faculty of forestry s academic and administrative structures were amended. Now a school under the dean of studies, the former faculty is headed by a director (no longer a dean). Then in August, the Academic Senate adopted the recommended amendments to the forestry program to make the program more attractive and to conform to the program reconfiguration parameters. Finally, the recruitment officer position was regularized as recommended in the Godbout Report. 10 a dream to call our own

13 Wellness committee recognized at provincial banquet The Moncton campus wellness committee (CMU) was rewarded during the Wellness at Heart Award banquet. This event is a joint initiative of the Government of New Brunswick, the College of Psychologists of New Brunswick and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick. Together, they recognize New Brunswick organizations and workplaces that promote wellness. The CMU won the Silver award and was cited for its efforts to measure its achievements. CMU chair Suzanne Harrison, a school of nursing professor, is supported by Jacques Cormier, human resources, Jeanne Godin, school of food sciences, nutrition and family studies, and Roger G. LeBlanc, school of kinesiology and leisure. The following are embodied in the guiding principles: retention and commitment of students; retention and commitment of staff and faculty members; healthy learning environment; healthy interpersonal relations and resilience; social and emotional needs of the student population, staff and faculty members, especially with respect to mental health issues. Initiative to promote psychological well-being The Université de Moncton strives to create a safe, healthy, dynamic and inspiring work environment conducive to quality education, research and innovation. The mission of the psychological well-being initiative is to create awareness and promote positive mental health for all members of the university community. Aimed at developing a culture that promotes positive mental health, the initiative s mandate is to increase awareness of the three main ingredients of positive psychological health and to develop the skills required to increase the well-being of the university community and environment. The strategic goal is to develop and maintain a culture of psychological well-being for the student population as well as for staff and faculty members by safeguarding their feelings of autonomy and competence as well as their sense of belonging. annual report i Université de moncton 11
