(Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013 – Thunder Bay, ON)

Lakehead University and Georgian College have announced plans to develop a four-year degree in electrical engineering that they will deliver jointly in Central Ontario.

Students will enrol in both institutions and graduate with a Georgian advanced diploma and Lakehead degree. Graduates will be eligible to apply for a Professional Engineer (PEng) designation.

The program was announced at Georgian College’s Barrie Campus, yesterday, by Georgian College President and CEO, Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes, and Lakehead University President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Brian Stevenson.

This will be the first engineering degree of its kind to be offered in Central Ontario. Pending all approvals, the program will begin in September 2015.

“Georgian College and Lakehead University share a commitment to addressing the postsecondary aspirations of people in Simcoe County and Central Ontario,” said Dr. West-Moynes. “By working collaboratively, we will be able to give residents, for the first time, an opportunity to earn an engineering degree and an advanced diploma without having to leave the region. Employers throughout our area will also benefit by having access to a larger pool of engineering professionals who can help meet the demands of today’s global economy.”

“Lakehead University is very proud to count Georgian College as an important partner, and I am excited about the new engineering program,” said Dr. Stevenson. “This partnership ties together our institutions’ growth and capacity development, and further demonstrates how Lakehead and Georgian continue to benefit postsecondary education in, and the economic development of, Central Ontario.”

Students will study concurrently at Lakehead and Georgian throughout their four years, taking classes at Georgian’s University Partnership Centre on the Barrie Campus and Lakehead’s Orillia Campus.

“Georgian and Lakehead share strong track records and established reputations in engineering and technology programs,” added West-Moynes. “I am thrilled that degree students will soon be learning in our university-calibre, state-of-the-art labs on Georgian’s Barrie Campus. This will be a marquee program in our one-of-a-kind University Partnership Centre.”

The agreement to pursue a joint Electrical Engineering degree results from ongoing discussions between Lakehead and Georgian, aimed at creating access to innovative programs to meet the needs of local communities and employers. Just last week, in Thunder Bay, West-Moynes and Stevenson signed a memorandum of understanding to pursue joint international recruitment of students for select programs; to work together to develop new student pathways and programs for Aboriginal learners; and to extend postsecondary learning opportunities using modern distance delivery modes.

Lakehead University is Ontario’s number one research university in the undergraduate category of this year’s annual ranking of Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities, as reported by Re$earch Infosource. Lakehead was second in the province in the same category, last year.

“This result confirms what we already know at Lakehead University – that research and innovation can be a thriving and growing part of universities our size,” said Provost and Vice-President-Academic, Dr. Rod Hanley. “We have exceptional faculty, students and community partners who are passionate and driven about changing the world.”

“Lakehead has performed admirably on a balanced set of research input and output/impact metrics,” said Ron Freedman, CEO of Re$earch Infosource which compiles Canada’s Top 50 Research Universities List. “The university should be proud of its researchers' success.”

“A special thanks must go to our Vice-President (Research, Economic Development and Innovation), Dr. Rui Wang, his staff, our dedicated and hardworking professors and students in Orillia and Thunder Bay, and to all of the funding agencies and peer-reviewed journals that have recognized Lakehead University’s quality research,” said Lakehead University President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Brian Stevenson.

“Research is a fundamental component of Lakehead University,” added Dr. Stevenson, “As it has a direct impact on regional economic development by supporting local industry, training an innovative workforce, and facilitating the introduction of leading-edge products and services to the market.”

When looking at all of Canada’s universities, Lakehead finished second, up from fourth, last year, in the undergraduate research category.

Calculating the undergraduate research category involves examining a number of factors, including the total amount of research dollars received by Lakehead University, research intensity (total research income per full-time faculty member), and research output based on articles published in peer-reviewed literature.

Dr. Brian Stevenson and Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes signed a Memorandum of Understanding outlining how Lakehead University and Georgian College will embark on new learning pathways.

October 23, 2013 – Thunder Bay, ON

In a time when Canada’s universities and colleges are being encouraged to work closer together to expand opportunities for students, Lakehead University and Central Ontario’s Georgian College signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) today, outlining how both post-secondary institutions will embark on several new learning pathways.

Today, Lakehead University President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Brian Stevenson, and Georgian College President and CEO, Dr. MaryLynn West-Moynes, signed an MOU outlining the following joint initiatives:

1.    International Collaboration:  Joint international recruiting of students from selective countries for specific program admissions;

2.   In partnership with Georgian’s Anishnabe Education and Training Circle and the Office of Aboriginal Initiatives at Lakehead University, both institutions will collaborate on the development of new student pathways and programs specifically designed for Aboriginal learners;

3.   Extending opportunities for post-secondary education to Lakehead’s and Georgian College’s regional community partners using modern distance delivery modes (example: using videoconferencing/telepresence technology).

“Lakehead University is very proud to count Georgian College as an important collaborator, and I am excited about what we have accomplished,” said Dr. Stevenson. “This partnership, which ties our institutions’ growth and capacity development together, further demonstrates how Lakehead and Georgian continue to benefit post-secondary education in, and the economic development of, Central Ontario.”

“Georgian College and Lakehead University share a commitment to addressing the postsecondary aspirations of people in Simcoe County and across Central Ontario,” Dr. West-Moynes said. “The three initiatives set out in the memorandum of understanding are excellent examples of how we are working together to create access to innovative programs that meet the needs of our communities and employers.”

“We've worked very well together on this MOU,” explained Lakehead’s Provost and Vice-President (Academic), Dr. Rod Hanley. “These agreements are the culmination of numerous meetings of senior administrators and deans from both Georgian and Lakehead. Cooperation between Lakehead University and one of the most significant colleges in the country will only serve to benefit our students and communities.”

Any academic programs arising from this MOU’s ongoing discussions will be subject to negotiation and approval by Lakehead University’s Senate.
