1976 (Feb): Academic Council approves re-organization of the Social Sciences Department into seven separate departments.

Officially opened in November 1949 as the Supply Store, the bookstore, a non-academic service, was not funded or staffed by the Institute due to Ministry mandate of not funding non-academic activities/services. The store was organized by the director of the Business Department, responsible to the Students’ Administrative Council (S.A.C.) and staffed by students of the Retail Business program, thus, keeping costs low and providing experience to students. Profits above maintaining the store operation went to the Students’ Administrative Council (S.A.C.). The S.A.C. provided funding through the Student Activity fee collected by the Institution with tuition.
March 1957 saw the establishment of a parent organization to the Students’ Administrative Council (S.A.C.) to allocate the student fee to S.A.C. and to non-academic standing committees. This was the Students’ Union Incorporated, also referred to as the Students’ Union or the Corporation
Soon after, in 1960 / 1961, the Supply Store name changed to Students’ Union Store, also referred to as Students’ Union Supply Store, was operated by the Students’ Union’s Supply Store Committee, and staffed by Retail students. Profits continued to benefit S.A.C.
Organizational changes occurred in 1964 / 1965 after the Board of Governors, having responsibility for the conduct and management of the Institute, approved in April 1964 a resolution passed at the Students’ Union Incorporated annual meeting to transfer all physical property and assets of the Students’ Union to the Board of Governors. In March 1965 the students voted out of the Students’ Union. The Students’ Administrative Council (S.A.C.) was then incorporated as an independent student organization controlling its own budget, receiving and administering fees, and raising funds through per capita grants. This prompted a name change of the bookstore to Students’ Union Bookstore and by 1967 (there were alternate spellings). Also in 1965, the Students’ Union Incorporated hired the first professional manager, discontinuing Retail student management.
The Union changes coincided with the planning and 1967 establishment of Institution changes that shifted the Bookstore’s organizational placement from a student to institutional mandate. With approval from the Board of Governors, the Student Affairs Department officially became the Student Services Department in 1967as a full service non-academic department. Student-funded services previously under student management with or without faculty advising were subsequently transferred to Student Services. These included Kerr Hall (Student Centre), financial aid, housing registry, orientation program, counselling services, and alumni services, the Athletic Directorate and Health Services. The Bookstore became the Ryerson Bookstore; however, profits continued to support the independent Students’ Administrative Council. The selling of used textbooks transferred to the student club, Circle K. Prior to 1990 when it was reported used books were traded-in to the bookstore.
Services for faculty and staff were under the new Institution Services (later Ancillary Services) including the Bookstore in 1969.
In 1970 there were seven F/T staff and one P/T staff and a move was made to larger premises in the basement of Jorgenson Hall.
Other Bookstore milestones include the 1981 acceptance of VISA credit cards initiated by the needs of evening continuing education students, replacing a cash only policy; the first Book Fair was held in Jorgenson hall in 1985 to introduce textbook publishers to faculty.
Locations of the Bookstore changed with the expansion of campus. By 1950/51, the Bookstore was in its 3rd location, the gymnasium with well-stocked shelving in the pre-fabricated out building near Church and Gould Street, south-east corner of campus. In 1952 / 53 the location changed to the 2nd floor of the newly developed Students’ Union (a place) in the same pre-fabricated building housing the gymnasium, south-east corner of campus. After a few more locations including a lengthy temporary location (1963-1971) in Kerr Hall (W69), a permanent location was in the new Jorgenson Hall building (1971-1988). The store had six spacious aisles in the Lower Ground floor, northwest corner, directly under the cafeteria and adjacent to student lounges. There was a much anticipated grand opening in 1988 of a larger location at the corner of Gould and Victoria Streets adjacent to the parking garage.
Two auxiliary shops existed during the late 1980s and 1990s. Opened in 1988, was a multi-purpose boutique, Chapter Two, at the corner of Victoria and Dundas streets, selling Ryerson clothing, confections, jewellery, health and beauty products, magazines, books on sale, computers and software, photography supplies, as well as equipment rentals (computer, typewriters, video and compact disks). Four years later (1992), Chapter Two closed for economic reasons and the space was leased out. The computer sales was transferred to the Computer Shop located in the lower level of Jorgenson Hall, but due to low sales, it closed its doors in the spring of 2002 with computer software and accessories moved to the Bookstore.
The Bookstore has maintained relevancy during the modern era’s challenges of competitors selling cheaper books on-line by keeping itself relevant selling textbooks, stationery, Ryerson clothing and giftware, stationery, computer supplies, magazines, contemporary books.

1950s - mid-1960s: The Publications Committee, in conjunction with The Ryerson Students' Union Incorporated, operated with student activity fees to produce the publications: Student Directory, Ryersonia (Yearbook), The Fifth Page and The Ryersonian. 1965 - 1966: The Student's Administration Council assumed responsibility of the publications when they became financially independent of The SUC.

The Technological Change Committee is composed of representatives of the Ryerson Administration and OPSEU.

The Joint Committee On Workload was established by the Ryerson Faculty Association and the Board Of Governors. The first committee may have started in July 1970 [Report of The Committee On Workload, March 1972 (Collection Record 367-2)]

In 1992 the Ontario Retail Sector Strategy Advisory Board set up by the Ontario government, identified the need for more professional development programs and training materials geared to the retail sector. In response, the $2.1 million “Retail Learning Initiative" was started at Ryerson.

Following the completion of an industry needs assessment in 1997; a proposal was approved to create Canada’s first bachelor of commerce degree program in retail management. The new “School of Retail Management” welcomed the first class of students in September 1998, maintained academic leadership for course offerings through C.E., and assumed responsibility for the Retail Learning Initiative – bringing retail education under a single umbrella at Ryerson.

In 2007, Ted and Loretta Rogers made a transformational donation of $15-million leading the Faculty of Business and all of its Schools (including Retail Management) to become the Ted Rogers School of Management.

Started in 1995, the International Conference Centre made the ILLC a year round business. The centre runs from May to August.

Ryerson Folio Magazine was created in order to serve as Ryerson University’s general interest magazine. The publication was co-founded by Trung Ho (Business Management ’12) and Jen Tse (Journalism) in 2011. First created online in September 2011, it is a collaborative, independent student run/created magazine including students from all programs and schools. The first published magazine was created April 27, 2012.

The Alumni Association was formed in 1951, a year after the first graduating class from Ryerson Institute of Technology. The Association functioned until 1984 when it was replaced by the (now–defunct) President's Alumni Council.

An "alumni affairs" function or office existed at Ryerson as early as 1965. In 1969, Ryerson agreed to fund an official Alumni Affairs Office. Louis Gonsalves, a founding member of the Alumni Association, was hired as Ryerson's first Director of Alumni Affairs, concurrent with other duties within the Student Services Department. Because the Alumni Affairs Office worked closely with and acted as a facilitator for the Alumni Association and evolved as an extension of the Association in order to service its needs. In 1977–1978, to facilitate increased fund–raising activites, a Private Funding Office was officially established under, at first, the assistant directorship and then, the directorship of Gonsalves, who divided his time between Alumni Affairs and Private Funding. In 1979, Louis Gonsalves was appointed full–time Director of the Office of Private Funding and David Butler was seconded to the Alumni Affairs Office as Acting Director of that department. In 1980, David Butler was appointed Director of the Alumni Affairs Office. The Alumni Affairs Office ceased to function as a separate department in 1985 when it merged with the Private Funding Office to form the Office of Development. David Butler, Director of Alumni Affairs became the Assistant Director in the Office of Development and Bill McPherson, the Director of the Private Funding Office became the new department's Director. In 1987 Rudy Putns replaced Bill MacPherson as Director and and under his direction the office was officially renamed the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs.

The Mathematics and Physics Department at Ryerson began offering service courses in 1966. By the early 1970s, the department had developed two programs, and a study was conducted to reorganize the department due to this transition. The growing use of computers resulted in the creation of the Math, Physics and Computer Science (MPCS) department in the early 1980s. In 1985, the program converted from a diploma to a degree program. By 1988, the department offered a Bachelor of Technology in Applied Computer Science and was part of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. The department received approval in May 1996 to offer a five-year co-operative program in addition to its regular four-year option. In the late 1990s, the Bachelor of Technology was changed to a Bachelor of Science. Physics became a department of its own in July 2005 as part of the Faculty of Engineering, Architecture and Science. The following year, the Department began offering an undergraduate program in Medical Physics and a graduate program in Biomedical Physics. The first Bachelor of Science degrees in Medical Physics were awarded in 2009. The doctoral program in Biomedical Physics began in Fall 2011. That November, a Physics minor was approved. As of 2013, the MSc and PhD programs offer a CAMPEP-accredited option in Medical Physics. The Department of Physics is part of the Faculty of Science.

The Office/Position of Learning and Teaching Co-ordinator comes under the jurisdiction of the Office of the Vice-President, Academic. It was created as a part-time position based on a recommendation by the Learning and Teaching Sub-Committee of Academic Council. The Committee also recommended the establishment of GREET, a volunteer internal body with which the Learning and Teaching Co-ordinator has worked closely because of shared goals and concerns (the Co-ordinator has been an official member of the GREET committee).

The Image Centre (formerly known as the Ryerson Image Centre and the Ryerson Gallery and Research Centre) is an photography and art museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. The centre is a university museum operated by Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), and is housed in a renovated and remodeled former warehouse building at Gould and Bond Streets on TMU's campus. The centre includes gallery, collections, teaching, research and exhibition spaces and shares the building with the School of Image Arts.

The Canadian Union of Public Employees, Local 233 (CUPE 233), proudly represents all custodians, groundskeepers, carpenters, electricians/fire alarm technicians, refrigeration mechanics/gas-fitters, maintenance “B” mechanics, painters, plumbers/gas-fitters, steam-fitters, hvac systems/control mechanics, general maintenance workers, and student helpers.
The local was organized on June 24th 1964, making it the oldest union on campus.

1990 : with the disbandment of the Learning Resources Centre on July 1, the Media Centre reported to the Vice-President Finance and Administration. On August 1, the Media Centre joined the Department of Development, Alumni and Community Relations. John Kentner, Manager of the Centre, reported to Ian Marlatt, Director, Creative Services.
In early 1996, with a realignment of responsibilities in the Development, Alumni and Community Relations area, the graphic and photography functions of the Media Centre were formally consolidated within the Community Relations unit, whereas the remaining audio-visual equipment functions were integrated into Computing and Communications Services (CCS). In December of 1996, the Development, Alumni and Community Relations Department changed its name to the University Advancement Office. Plans were underway to change the name of the Media Centre to Presentation Technology and to renovate and reorganize the physical area currently occupied by the Media Centre in the basement of the Learning Resources Centre.

CCS renamed the Media Centre to Media Services and transferred staff members the newly formed DMP (c.1996). The Digital Media Projects Office began as a joint initiative between Rogers Communication Centre (RCC) and Computing and Communications Services (CCS) to promote digital media usage to faculty for use in classroom teaching. It was originally located within the RCC. Around 2000, the RCC withdrew from the joint DMP initiative and CCS became the sole supporter. At this point, the DMP was moved from the RCC to it's current location in CCS within the Library Building.

(EYEOPENER 4 Sep 1996 / NIGHT VIEWS Sep 1996). See the histories for the Ryerson Centre and the Palin Foundation for related information.

CATE, or the Centre for Advanced Technology Education, was established in 1983 as a focal point for advanced professional education and applied arts at Ryerson. Over the years, CATE became a critical catalyst in Ryerson's drive for research recognition, professional accreditation and university status. Further to a formal review of research and advanced professional education at Ryerson and in order to be well-positioned for its next stage of development, a decision is made to dissolve CATE, effective July 1, 1997. As a result, the professional education activities of CATE were combined with those of the Continuing Education Division. CATE's research administration resources were merged with the Office of Research Services to provide a central research area. ORS and the Office of the Associate Vice President Academic were relocated to the CATE offices. Research programs managed at CATE became the responsibility of the appropriate Ryerson school or department and the principal investigators. And Al Oatridge, Director of CATE since 1987, stepped down to pursue teaching and research interests as part of a sabbatical leave. The building once again assumed it's official name as Eric Palin Hall.

2006-2007 marks the last academic year that the Diploma in Arts program is offered. It is Ryerson's last diploma program (to be phased out).

The current position of Associate Vice President, Academic, established in 1995, should not be confused with that of Associate Vice President, Faculty Affairs, which was also known as Associate Vice President, Academic for the period 1982-1989. Hence, the records of the two abovementioned positions are arranged in distinct groups (No. 654 and 551) and cover distinct periods (1995 to the present for Group 654; 1982 to the present for group 551). Both groups are named on the basis of the current titles of the positions, regardless of previous designations. See the description of Group 654 for further historical information. In 1994, at the recommendation of the research committee of Academic Council, a decision was made to create the new position of Associate Vice President, Academic "to lead the establishment of the research mission that is part of Ryerson's university mandate" [Forum 3dec94] and to oversee scholarly, research and creative acitivity. On September 1, 1995, Dr. Kevin Goheen, an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Academic Advisor to the President at Carlton University, commenced his appointment as the new Associate Vice President Academic. The following year, on October 1, 1996, Dr. Goheen left Ryerson to pursue other career opportunities. Dr. Rena Mendelson, a faculty member and administrator with the School of Nutrition, was named Acting Associate Vice President, Academic. From 1997 to 1999, Dr. Mendelson served as Interim Associate Vice President, Academic. In 1999, Dr. Mendelson was officially appointed Associate Vice President, Academic, for a five-year term starting July 1. In 2001, Dr. Judith Sandys, former Dean, Faculty of Community Services 1993-2000, was appointed Associate Vice President, Academic (Research and International Development), for a five-year term effective July 1. In 2006, at the end of Dr. Sandys' term, the Associate Vice President's position is renamed Vice President Research and Innovation. Dr. Anastasios (Tas) Venetsanopoulos assumes the position. Records Group 654 is therefore closed as an active group and replaced by new Group 910, which reflects the different name and responsibilities.

1991 - Ryerson asked to draw up a program for a new degree, housed at the Faculty of Community Services 1993 - Midwifery program starts in September.

1984: A group of retired faculty members along with several members approaching retirement, met informally to discuss concerns about isolation from the Ryerson community after retirement, and to consider ways and means to remain a part of the University connection. 1985: The Ryerson Connection/Keeping In Touch group was founded. The group includes retired faculty and staff. The basic purpose of the group was to stay in touch with Ryerson and each other and to assist individuals through the transition period from the work environment to retirement. The group meet several times a year on campus for lunch meetings and guest speakers. For more detailed information see the DcFl: Ryerson Connection.

1960/1961: A committee is formed to organize and host Ryerson's first annual Open House event on January 28, 1961. The objective of the open house was to give the public, particularly high school students a first-hand look at Ryerson and what it had to offer potential students.

1962: Ryerson hosts is second annual Open House event on February 24.

1963: Ryerson did not hold an Open House but did have an official opening for "Ryerson Polytechnical Institute"

1964: Ryerson's third annual Open House event was included with Homecoming weekend held in October, in order to provide both Alumni, as well as Secondary School students, the opportunity to see the changes to the Ryerson campus. It is uncertain whether an annual Open House continued beyond 1964.

*SENIORS' STUDIES AT RYERSON: "Senior's involvement at Ryerson began in September 1979 when a group of interested faculty met with then president, Walter Pitman, to discuss developing a seniors' education centre on campus. Later that fall, the Ryerson Gerontology Certificate program was launched, galvanizing the enthusiasm of both seniors and Ryerson faculty. The following March, Ryerson established the President's Committee on Seniors Involvement at Ryerson (PACSIR), with the aim of providing specialized learning opportunities for seniors and, in turn, allowing Ryerson to benefit from the expertise of senior volunteers. Writing Your Recollections debuted in the summer of 1981. It proved so popular that several of the participants wanted to continue sharing and writing their stories after the course was over. Soon afterward, Recording Recollections at Ryerson was formed and the group began publishing a quarterly magazine with a grant from New Horizons. Recollections continues to publish today thanks to generous support from Central Park Lodges. In fact, several of the Lodges have begun their own Recollections groups with assistance from members of the Ryerson group. As PACSIR continued to develop volunteer opportunities for seniors at Ryerson, they began to contact faculty to see if seniors would be welcome in their classes. By the summer of 1982, PACSIR had its first brochure ready for mailing to seniors and the media, advertising a variety of coures available to seniors at no cost. The response was overwhelming, a clear indication that there was a strong demand by older adults for academic programs. Interested seniors were invited to a meeting in October 1982 to discuss learning opportunities at Ryerson. From this meeting came Seniors' Forum, a monthly lecture/discussion series. The first Seniors' Forum was held two months later and continues to this day, on a monthly basis from September to May. In the fall of 1983, Ryerson established the Seniors' Studies office with a mandate to offer courses designed especially for seniors and to assist those wishing to enrol in regular Ryerson courses. Today, Seniors's Studies offers approximately 30 courses each year and publishes a newsletter. In October 1990, the Learning Is Forever (L.I.F.E.) Institute was lanunched. L.I.F.E., which now boasts a membership of 175 older adults, offers self-directed study groups, a variety of social activities, and publishes its own quarterly newspaper. Seniors' involvement at Ryerson continues to expand. An active roster of senior volunteers contribute approximately 2,000 man hours to Ryerson each year. The very successful Act II Studio, the evolution of Seniors' Studies acting courses, now offers its own programming and presents a variety of theatrical activities during the year. Donations from Shoppers Dry Mart support these endeavours. Today, we celebrate the newest development in seniors' involvement at Ryerson: the merging of Seniors' Studies with the Intergenerational Education Program at Ryerson to form S.A.I.G.E. (Seniors And InterGenerational Education). We look forward to our new partnership and to new opportunities and challenges in the years to come." [Program: Anniversary Celebration of Senior's Involvement At Ryerson and the merger of Senior's Studies and Intergenerational Education, May 4, 1994 -- Collection Record 808-8] 1985: PACSIR was terminated and the Seniors' Studies Advisory was established. 2001: The Archives received a file folder from Gretta Riddell-Dixon retired faculty member of the School of Social Work, former Open College professor of gerontology, former chair of PACSIR and a member of several committees of the Seniors' Studies Program. This file contained pertinent documents on the development of the Senior's program at Ryerson. A decision was made by the Archives to create the Group Seniors'Studies/Pgrm for the arrangement of these documents. At the same time all Seniors'Pro

In October of 1985 the School of Chemical Engineering established within the Department of Applied Chemical and Biological Sciences with John Easton as its chairperson. In 1988 the summer co-op program started. In 1990 the Bachelor of Technology, Chemical Engineering changed to a Bachelor of Engineering. In 1991 the 8 month co-op program began, and in 1992 the school was awarded accreditation from Canadian Engineering Accreditation Board. In 1999 the Department name change from Department of Applied Chemical and Biological Sciences, School of Chemical Engineering to Department of Chemistry, Biology and Chemical Engineering. In 2000 the MASc/MEng program in Chemical Engineering and joint PhD program with DalTech (Dalhousie) approved by Academic Council and submitted to OCGS for approval, and the University Analytical Centre for chemical analysis opens. The MEng and MASc degrees approved by OCGS in December, 2000. In May of 2003 the Academic Council approves restructuring of the Department of Chemistry, Biology and Chemical Engineering to form two separate departments: the Department of Chemistry and Biology and the Department of Chemical Engineering.

May/2005 - Further to an announcement by the Office of the Dean, Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science, regarding the appointment of a chair for the new Department of Computer Science, the Dean's Office confirmed that the Department of Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science was recently split into three: two new program departments (Computer Science and Physics) and one academic service department (Mathematics). These changes were approved in November, 2004 by Academic Council and came into effect on January 1,2005.

This record group was established in 2006 as the result of changes to the Office of the Associate Vice President Academic (Research and International Development - Group 654). The new Vice President was Anastasios (Tas) Venetsanopoulos.

With more than 6,000 students, the Ted Rogers School of Management is the largest English-speaking Undergraduate Business School in Canada. The Ryerson Commerce Society (RCS) is the umbrella organization which represents the four schools in the faculty of business; Business Management, Information Technology Management, Hospitality and Tourism Management, and Retail Management. Founded 6 years ago (2002), the RCS was initially created to act as an arbitor between the 4 business schools. In 2003 it became an official student levy group. RCS was created to enrich the University experience of all commerce students by acting as a liaison between commerce students, student groups and faculty, in addition to hosting various academic and social events throughout the year. We operate with the goal of uniting the four schools of business through our three pillars; providing commerce students with a social, professional, and educational experience that is second to none. The RCS also strives to ensure the development of a community spirit within the business student body and provides opportunities that will enrich every Commerce Students post-secondary experience. Please note that many of these groups were in existence before the RCS was formed. Posters etc for them are under the RSU umbrella (79-50, 79-16). Post 2001 all group information should be stored under RCS. Student Groups under the RCS umbrella include: AIESEC - bizbudz BSA - Business Students Association DECA Ryerson EMSCU - Economics and Management Science Course Union HRSA - Human Resources Student Association HTMCU - Hospitality & Tourism Management Course Union ITMSA - Information Technology Management Students' Association JDCWest Ryerson Business Forum Real Estate Ryerson RMA - Ryerson Marketing Association RSA - Retail Students' Association RUAS - Ryerson University Accounting Society RUFS - Ryerson University Finance Society SIFE - Students in Free Enterprise WITM - Women in Information Technology Management

1970: Geography courses taught as part of Arts Division. 1973: "Applied Gergraphy, first Ryerson degree program not evolved from an existing diploma or certificate program....proposal prepared by the Geography section of the Social Sciences Dept."--Ryersonian Feb. 3, 1973 1976: Reorganized Arts Division, Terry Grier Chair Geography 2003: Applied Geography changed name to Geographic Analysis and the unit offering the program changed from the School of Applied Geography to the Department of Geography.

In 1985 the Alumni Affairs Office and the Private Funding Office merged to form the Office of Development. David Butler, Director of Alumni Affairs, became Assistant Director, Office of Development, and Bill MacPherson, Director of the Private Funding Office, became the new department's Director. In 1986, Bill MacPherson resigned and David Butler assumed the responsibility of interim Associate Director. In 1987, Rudy Putns was appointed as the new Director and, under his direction, the department was officially renamed Office of Development and Alumni Affairs. In June 1990 The Department of Development and Alumni Affairs was integrated with the Department of Community Relations to form the Department of Development, Alumni and Community Relations. This followed the resignation of Development and Alumni Affairs Director Rudy Putns. Arnice Cadieux was appointed Executive Director of the new department. On January 1, 1996, a realignment of responsibilities within Development, Alumni and Community Relations occurred with the appointment of Arnice Cadieux as Special Assistant to President Claude Lajeunesse. Ms. Cadieux retained her duties and title as Executive Director of Community Relations. The Community Relations and Development/Alumni units were briefly divided until they were again re-integrated as one department under the leadership of Bob Crow, who had been appointed Executive Director of University Development on May 1.

Consult the CROSS REFERENCE SUBJECT FILE under RSU for information regarding the historical development of the Ryerson Students' Union and its predecessors.

In the 1951-1952 course calendar the Ryerson Institute of Technology offered a diploma in Hotel, Resort, and Restaurant Administration. The diploma was administered by the School of Institution and Home Management. In 1953 it became its own school - School of Hotel, Resort, and Restaurant Administration. In 1958 the school came under the Business Division. In 1966 the Hotel, Resort, and Restaurant Administration program became an option under the Business Administration diploma and in 1969 it's name changes to Hotel and Restaurant Administration.

In 2001 the degree designation changed from a Bachelor of Applied Arts (BAA) to a Bachelor of Commerce (BCom). The name of the Faculty of Business changed in 2008 to reflect a large donation made to the University by Ted and Loretta Rogers. The faculty became The Ted Rogers School of Management, and the school The Ted Rogers School of Hospitality and Tourism Management. In 2015 the program began offering a co-operative education option for students.

Student Affairs Department became Student Services c1968. It may have been established around 1965-1966. See Doc. Files: STUDENT SERVICES.

Ontario Minister of Industry and Trade, Andy Brandt, announces a $300,000 grant from the provincial government to establish the Innovation Centre on May 3, 1985. The grant was matched by Ryerson’s Centre for Industrial Development. In June of that year Roy Morley was appointed associate director of Innovation Centre. In 1986 the Office of Research and Innovation becomes the new umbrella organization for research at Ryerson, encompassing both the Centre for Industrial Development and the Innovation Centre. The IC remains responsible for business services and enterprise development. In July of 1986 Ross McNaughton became director of Innovation Centre, replaced in the Fall of 1987 by David Schlanger. In 1988 IC served over 300 clients during its second year of operation and received high external review ratings. In April it received $50,000 interim funding to carry operations through to December 31, 1988. On November 30, 1988 the Provincial government announces plan to scrap funding to 22 innovations centres across Ontario, including Ryerson’s. On February 1, 1989 Ryerson Innovation Centre closes its doors to most of the community, but continued to handle select requests for assistance from faculty, staff, and students.

In January of 1976, the Third World Committee was established and launched an information/education program in September of the same year. On December 7, 1976 the Academic Council passed a motion passed to establish a Third World Centre which would be located in the Learning Resources Centre. In 1978 the Third World Centre receives funding from the Canadian International Development Agency for a new on-campus paper (“Connections”) and in 1979 they had their first film festival. In August 1981 the Third World Centre changes name to International Development Centre, emphasizing more of a research role on development in the third world. In 1982 three Ryerson International Development Centre programs receive federal grants- technical assistance for women in the carribean, Jamaican tourism education and research, and expansion of services offered by the resource room located in the library. In 1985 Dr. Phil Rawkins re-appointed Director of the Ryerson International Development Centre. In 1986 RIDC receives $5 million grant (its largest ever) from the Canadian International Development Agency for five-year program in Asia/Pacific region. In 1992 Professor Sam Mikhail appointed Director of Ryerson International Development Centre and in 1993 it changed its name to Ryerson International. In 1999 the name changed again to the Office of International Affairs. Bill Radford became the new director in 2000, and in 2009 the office changed its name back to Ryerson International.

It is believed that some of the following factors contributed to the development and establishment of the Ryerson Theatre School program: 1950-1970: Acting course part of the RTA curriculum. (1970-1994: Theatre arts course became an elective of the RTA curriculum). 1964: Jack McAllister (English department faculty member) developed a theatre course within the English program. 1967: Jack McAllister placed in charge of Ryerson Theatre. 1968: McAllister became Artistic Director of Theatre Studies, Ryerson Theatre. 1971: Official establishment of Ryerson Theatre Department, program beginning in the Fall. 1972: McAllister became first Chair of Theatre Department.

RIOT is an annual "off-the-wall" comedy revue which was first produced in 1950 and which involved members of the general Ryerson community. An acronym for the University's original name (Ryerson Institute of Technology), RIOT helped promote Ryerson in its early years, thanks in part to the innovative advertising done by students throughout the city. As the (incomplete) list of information below indicates, RIOT was held at various times during the academic ear. Its main venue was Ryerson although it was held off-campus during certain years. Today, RIOT is produced at Ryerson, in February of each year. In 1958, RIOT was cancelled, apparently as a result of a decision by the Alumni Federation Committee to cancel Homecoming Weekend (RIOT was to have been a part of the planned activites --Ryersonian 30Sep58). In 1962, the RIOT production was not well-received because of objectionable content and poor taste. Because of the problems and criticisms it encountered, there was talk of abandoning the show in 1963. However, RIOT survived after it was decided to place it under the jurisdiction of a special Student Administrative Council (SAC) committee. In 1964, the RIOT production, slated to be held in the Fall of 1963, was postponed to the Spring of 1964 because of the construction of a new auditorium (the Ryerson Theatre). However, RIOT '64 was never held. The annual RIOT production continued regularly until 1976 when it was cancelled due to a lack of student spirit and involvement. The revue was revived in 1980. At some point in time, RIOT ceased to involve the general Ryerson community and, as is the case today, became a production of students in the Radio and Television Arts Program. -------------------------- RIOT Productions RIOT '50 Spring 1950 Ryerson RIOT '51 Spring 1951 Ryerson RIOT '52 Spring 1952 Ryerson RIOT '53 Spring 1953 Leaside High School RIOT '54 Spring 1954 Leaside High School RIOT '55 Spring 1955 Central Technical School RIOT '56 December 1955 Northern Vocational School RIOT '57 November 1957 Ryerson RIOT '58 ----------------Not held------------------ RIOT '59 March 1959 Ryerson RIOT '60 November 1959 Riverdale Auditorium RIOT '61 November 1960 Lansdowne Theatre RIOT '62 November 1961 Lansdowne Theatre RIOT '63 November 1962 Ryerson RIOT '64 ----------------Not held------------------ RIOT '65 January 1965 Ryerson RIOT '66 November 1965 Ryerson RIOT '67 January 1967 Ryerson RIOT '68 January 1968 Ryerson RIOT '69 February 1969 Ryerson RIOT '70 February 1970 Ryerson RIOT '71 February 1971 Ryerson RIOT '72 February 1972 Ryerson ------------------------- The RIOT Collection contains: scripts, programmes, budgets, reports, posters, notices, photographs, slides, videos, films, audio reel-to-reel tapes and cassettes, a phonograph record, artifacts, button, newspaper clippings, etc. Originally, the RIOT Collection was organized by year as documentation files in filing cabinets. These files included both secondary-source and primary-source material. When the documentation files were re-organized, it was decided to transfer the RIOT files to a newly-formed RIOT record group and maintain them in their original format, on an indefinite basis (collection record 215-1). With the donation of 1.2 meters of RIOT memorabilia by Ryerson alumni for the special RIOT reunion in 1995 (see collection record 215-3), new sub-series were established for certain materials by combining the newly-received items with similar items in 215-1. Other primary-source records such as programs, tickets, correspondence, notices and photographs remain in 215-1. Eventually, these records will be removed from 215-1 and placed in their own sub-series. It is also planned to establish a master finding aid which will indicate whatrecords

In 1953 the Department of Health for Ontario organized the Ontario Sanitary Inspectors' Training Course which was housed at Ryerson, the same year Ryerson introduced a two-year Public Health Laboratory Technology certificate at the request of governmental public health laboratories to supply competent personnel in the public health laboratory field. The course evolved into the Medical Laboratory Technology Course later in the 1950s and was still offered at Ryerson when the Sanitary Inspectors Course came under complete control of Ryerson from the Department of Health in 1961-1962.
In 1967-1968, the Public Health Inspector's course became a two-year course, with the one-year phased out in the same year. In 1970-1971, a two-semester Environmental Health Administration Program was added to prepare public health inspectors for senior posts and to provide background for further studies in this field. In 1980-1981 Ryerson offered a new four-year degree program in Environmental Health. In 1998 the School of Environmental Health changed its name to the School of Occupational and Public Health.

The Vice Presidents' 18-member Advisory Committee On Asbestos Management was formed in the Spring of 1989. It's mandate was to develop and recommend an Institute philosophy on the long-term alleviation of asbestos-related risk on campus, along with programs of asbestos control and/or removal, campus education and communication, and training for those likely to be directly exposed to asbestos. The committee, chaired by Bob Crow, Urban and Regional Planning, was to report by June 30, 1989, jointly to Acting Vice-President Academic Paul Nowack and Vice-President Finance and Administration Glyn Harry, who were responsible for establishing it and who will serve as ex-officio members.

In 1990, The Department of Development and Alumni Affairs was integrated with the Department of Community Relations to form the Department of Development, Alumni and Community Relations. This follows the resignation of Development and Alumni Affairs Director Rudy Putns. Arnice Cadieux is appointed Executive Director of the new department. On August 1, 1990, following the disbandment of the Learning Resources Centre (July 1), the Media Centre joined the Department of Development, Alumni and Community Relations. John Kentner, Manager of the Centre, reported to Ian Marlatt, Director, Creative Services.Effective January 1, 1996, a realignment of responsibilities took place which affected the department of Development, Alumni and Community Relations. Arnice Cadieux relinquished her responsibilities for development and alumni to become Special Assistant to President Claude Lajeunesse.

Ian Marlatt, assistant director in DACR, became team leader with responsibility for day-to-day operations and reported to Ms. Cadieux. Cadieux also continued, on an interim basis, as Executive Director of Development, Alumni and Community Relations, until the appointment of an individual to take responsibility for Development and Alumni Services/Records. A further development in the realignment process occurred around this time. The graphic and photography functions of the Media Centre were formally consolidated within the Community Relations unit whereas the remaining audio-visual equipment functions were integrated into Computing and Communications Services. On May 1, 1996, Professor Bob Crow, from the School of Urban and Regional Planning, was appointed on a three-year secondment to the position of Executive Director, University Development. On July 4, 1996, Arnice Cadieux resigned her position with the University. Shortly thereafter, it was announced that Community Relations and Development/Alumni Affairs would be "re-integrated", following the brief separation occasioned by the realignment of January. Ian Marlatt was appointed director of communications within the re–integrated department and reported to Bob Crow. A new, more concise name was sought for the department of Development, Alumni and Community Relations. In December, 1996, the name of the Office of Development, Alumni and Community Relations was changed to University Advancement Office. In 2013 University Advancement changed again with the creation of a separate Department of Communication, Government, and Community Engagement. University Advancement continues, its mission to develop and foster positive relations with our internal and external partners; to enhance Ryerson's image and profile in the broader community; and to increase the financial and material resources of the university through an integrated program of communications, fundraising and service to alumni and friends of Ryerson. It is made up of two departments - Alumni Relations, and Development.

Eggy is the name of the Ryerson University mascot. Eggy I was purchased in 1961 by 4 students on the Administrative Council from the Toronto Stockyards. He made his debut at a Hockey game at Varsity Arena. There were a total of five real ram mascots between 1961 and 1991. Eggy I lived on campus during the school year in a pen and shelter behind Oakham House (then called Kerr Hall) and spent the summer on a farm outside the city. Eggy II did the same until the mid 1960s. From that time, Eggy II through V lived on a farm year long and was transported to campus for events.Eggy V was the last live mascot. He died in 1992. The Human Society pressured universities using live animals as mascots to stop the practice due to cruelty.
While the real Eggy was still making appearances, Athletics and Recreation had a costumed Eggy from about the 1980s. The costume Eggy was gone through changes since its inception with the latest transformation occuring in 2011 when the costume was recreated to showcase a trimmer Eggy with two different costume heads.

The Ryerson Energy Centre was created in 1976. Its focus was non-petroleum based energy sources like solar, recycling, and uses for oil other than burning. The Centre became part of the Centre for Industrial Development in 1985 because the decline in projects that the centre was co-ordinating made it difficult to operate independently.

The Department of History was established on April 28th 1976. Prior to its establishment, history courses and professors were active under the jurisdiction of the Department of Sociology, as well as various other departments such as Applied Geography and Liberal Arts. While the department existed, it did not have the ability to confer stand-alone degrees in its discipline until 2012, the first year a dedicated degree program was established for the Department of History.

1945-1948 (circa): The Toronto Training and Re-establishment Institute offered a Nursing Assistants Course under the auspices of the Provincial Department of Health. In 1948, when TRIT evolved into Ryerson Institute of Technology, the course continued at Ryerson and was run by the Health Department. Although Ryerson provided the physical location for the course, all other course-related matters remained the responsibility of the Department. There is no evidence in the Ryerson Calendars of subsequent years that this course continued to be offered within the confines of Ryerson. 1964 (September): 3-year Diploma course introduced under Health Services.

Under this directive, Ryerson's Diploma Nursing Program was joined by the Schools formerly operated by the Hospital for Sick Children, Women's College Hospital and Wellesley Hospital. It should be noted that the Nursing STUDENT RECORDS of the abovementioned three hospitals were turned over to Ryerson as part of the program transfer and can be found in the Registration and Records department of the University's Registrariat (confirmed with Gerda Greco, June/2000).

In 1948 an Institute Council was formed, two years later it appears to have changed its name to Faculty Council. Then between 1958-1965 there does not appear to have been a Faculty Council, possibly replaced again by the Institute Council. In April 1965 the Institute Council was replaced once again when the Board of Governors officially passes a resolution for the formation of a Faculty Council consisting of the Principal (chairman), some senior administrative officials, departmental chairmen, 15 members of the teaching faculty (3 yr. appointments), and 15 representatives from various departments (3 yr. appointments). In the late 1960's the Faculty Council became the Academic Council. Academic Council eventually changed its name to the Senate.

Towards the end of World War II, the Training and Re-Establishment Institute, Toronto (T.R.I.T.) was established in the existing Toronto Normal School buildings to provide rehabilitation training to the men and women who served in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Fashion was one of the sixty programs offered at T.R.I.T. Sarah W. Murdoch, who had planned the original Fashion course, received permission from Dr. Howard H. Kerr to revise the program for the Fall of 1948 and the new Ryerson Institute of Technology. A two-year Diploma course in Costume Design, which included two four-week job training periods, produced the first graduating class in June 1950.
From 1950-1960, the program went through a number of changes, the biggest being in 1958 when Fashion came under the umbrella of "Women's programs," which also consisted of Home Economics and Pre-School Education. All courses and content had to meet the requirements of the Home Economics Division of the Department of Education. The program had originally been set up to include male and female students, but its new emphasis on Home Economics discouraged many men from applying.
The Fashion program remained under Home Economics until 1970, when the Home Economics Department was removed from the Division of Applied Arts. The Fashion Department objected to this move and was subsequently granted permission to remain in the Applied Arts Division. As a result, a brand new three-year program was developed for students for the Fall of 1970, with two specialization options: Design and Merchandising. The program became so popular that enrollment was limited by 1972.
In 1973 Jen Nemeth, Department Chairman, implemented changes to validate the program as a four-year undergraduate degree, an undertaking supported by Nemeth's successor, Bill Vine. The Fashion Department put forth a proposal for the degree program to Ryerson’s Standards Committee in March 1981 and then to Academic Council that October, with the intention that first-year applicants to the degree program would start in September 1982. However, due to the Ministry of College and University's freeze on all new undergraduate programs, the proposal was deferred. The program finally received its degree status in March 1985, making it the first (and, for many years, only) fashion undergraduate degree program in Canada. The first Bachelor of Applied Arts degree class graduated in 1986, which consisted of third-year diploma students who had chosen to remain for a fourth year.
A few program adjustments occurred over the next 30 years, including changes in requirements, option names, and discipline names. In addition, the School of Fashion moved to the Faculty of Communication & Design (FCAD). Starting in 2004, Fashion shifted from granting Applied Arts degrees to Bachelor of Design degrees (in Fashion Design or Fashion Communication), retroactive to 2003.
In Fall 2010, Ryerson introduced an innovative two-year program leading to a Master of Arts (MA) degree in Fashion. This program is the first of its kind offered in Canada. A minor in Fashion Studies was made available the following year to students not enrolled in the Fashion program.

GREET is a volunteer body which was founded as a result of a need identified by the Learning and Teaching Sub-Committee of Academic Council. It appears that its original members may have been drawn from the Sub-Committee. GREET is comprised of one faculty member from each of the six Ryerson Faculties and the Learning and Teaching Program Director. The latter position was created as a part-time position by the Vice President, Academic, based also on a recommendation by the Council Sub-Committee, and reports through the Vice President, Academic's Office. Both GREET and the Learning and Teaching Program Director (formerly Co-ordinator) work closely together as they share similar goals and concerns. The Chair of GREET receives modest release time to carry out his/her duties; this is funded jointly by the Vice President, Academic and the Learning and Teaching Program Director's budget. *Sandra Radchenko (Applied Chemical and Biological Sciences) appears to have been the first Chair of Greet. As of 1998, Bill Glassman of Psychology was Chair.
