Student Services

  • University Name

"From 1948 to 1968 the development of the student services functions at Ryerson was directed by two men: Howard Keer and David Crombie. Kerr adopted the philosophy that the Institute had a responsibility for overseeing the general welfare of the student body. He was convinced that certain non-academic services -- an athletic program, health services, residences, placement services, student loans, an alumni service and a student union building -- were part and parcel of student life, especially at the post-secondary level. The Department of Education expressed the view that these services were not essential to the effective teaching of the curricula, and consequently rejected Kerr's proposal that they be funded by the Institute. Therefore, Kerr adopted the university system of adding a student fee to the regular tuition costs to finance these student services, and turned to the American model of the College Union for a mechanism to manage the funds thus collected. The Ryerson Institute of Technology Students's Union Corporation, patterned on the College Union, was used by Kerr to provide student services from 1957 to the mid-sixties. Prior to 1957, the main services provided were financial aid, an athletic program and a health service. After Kerr's resignation in 1966, Crombie provided the leadership to bring these functions under the umbrella of one administrative unit -- a Student Services Department. Like Kerr, he turned to the United States for direction on an organizational framework. It was also during Crombie's tenure that the "Regulations Regarding Conduct, Discipline and Attendance" were amended. By 1968, the concept of 'in loco parentis' seemed outdated and the Board accepted Crombie's proposal that a student be subject to the same legal process as any other citizen living in "the City of Toronto, the Province of Ontario and Canada". By 1968, the Student Services Department was firmly constituted as a divisional unit at the Institute, with its Director reporting to the President."--p. 31.

The Commission was composed of 16 members, representing both Ryerson and the external community. We believe that this combination of internal and external expertise has enabled us to respond to the Green Paper in a manner reflecting our polytechnic style of education, which incorporates the private and public sectors on advisory committees in all programs as a means of maintaing our relevance. Our objective was to assess the future of polytechical education in a provincial and national context, rather than from a narrow, institutional point of view, because we perceive this kind of education as vital to the creation of a manpower infrastructure which will strengthen our economy in the years ahead. The Commission was asked to complete its work in a brief period and it decided to establish four separate internal study groups which were asked to do research and to report on four specific issues: societal need and its impact on polytechnic education; the characteristics of polytechnic education; government support for polytechnic education; and the impact of new technologies on polytechnic education."

School of Distance Education

  • University Name
  • [ca. 1965 -]

Very little historical information has been written on the distance education function at Ryerson University. What is known is that distance education was a unit within the Continuing Education Division and has remained so to this day. Based on the dates of the series of distance education calendars in the Archives, it would appear that the distance education program may have been started in the mid-1960s. Also, judging by the lack of records in the Distance Education archival records group for the 1980s and 1990s, the extent of this program's activity at Ryerson during that period is unclear; it is possible that distance education was mainly the domain of Open College (see Records Group No. 7).

In May, 1996, President Lajeunesse called for a "visioning" process for Ryerson to answer the question: what is our collective vision of what Ryerson's academic landscape should look like five years hence? The goal of the task group was to articulate a broadly based vision of the University's academic landscape by recommending strategic directions and paths of development that the university would follow. The task group also worked to identify practical short term steps to be taken to set Ryerson on course for the achievement of that vision and to recommend broad academic priorities.

The Vision Task Group consisted of one chair appointed by the president, four appointees of the Board of Governors, six appointees of Academic Council, and three appointees of the Executive Group.

Women in Engineering Committee

  • University Name
  • 1990 -

In 1988 the Council of Ontario Universities released a report regarding the under representation of women in science and technology programs. In response to this, Ryerson set up a committee to look into this issue and in 1990 the Women in Engineering Committee was established with representation from staff, faculty, and students. Peter Hiscocks, professor of Electrical Engineering, was the first committee chair.
The first "Discover Engineering" camp, aimed at grade 11, was held in the summer of 1991. In its second year there were four week long camp sessions. The camp continued, eventually including girls in grades 12 and OAC. The Women in Engineering program evolved, branching out from the camps in to include support programs for women enrolled in Ryerson Engineering programs, Discover Engineering one day high school workshops, and a Discover Engineering "Go ENG Girl!" one day conference for girls in grades 7-10 and their families to participate in.
In 2001 the Women in Engineering program won the Women in Engineering Program Award from the Women in Engineering Programs and Advocates Network (WEPAN). It was the first time the award had ever been bestowed out of the U. S. A.
The Women in Engineering Program at Ryerson, under the Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science currently (2018) offers the "Go ENG Girl" one day conference for boys and girls in grades 7-10; "Go CODE Girl" one day conference for grades 7-11; the Girl Guides Engineering badge day, and the "Eureka!" summer day camp. For current female Ryerson students in Engineering they provide support that includes career prep workshops and social events. Ryerson is also part of the WEMADEIT partnership with Hydro One, Motorola solutions, and the Universities of Waterloo, Western, and UOIT. They offer events such as Youth Think Tanks, and the Feats of Engineering day long workshops.

The Transitional Funding Committee

  • University Name

The Transitional Funding Committee was established in the 1992-1993 academic year to coordinate and implement a one-time adjustment fund of $22 million from the Government of Ontario to the Province's colleges and universities. This money was made available for the restructuring of information systems, the training of staff and ultimately, the provision of downsized, more streamlined administrations. Ryerson's share of the fund was $890,000 and was used to cover the up-front costs of implementing major changes in its computerized administrative information systems. Specific objectives included the establishment of better, faster and more flexible data formats; a base for more powerful information services; and increased on-line information access for the entire Ryerson Community. Projections were that Ryerson would spend $3 million over 3-5 years to implement the changes and that it would take the project 7 years to reach a steady financial state. Once that state was reached, on-going annual savings would amount to $1 million. The membership of the Transitional Funding Committee generally represented areas affected by the new systems and included at one time or another the following individuals: Janice Winton, Committee Chair (Finance); Keith Alnwick (Registrariat); Viggo Jensen (Institute Services); Bob Kurys (Faculty of Business); Larissa Allen (Human Resources); Morven Wilson (Computing and Communications Services); Arnice Cadieux (Development, Alumni and Community Relations); Scott Clarke (Internal Audit); and Richard Malinski, Project Co-ordinator (Library). On January 2, 1996, John Harkness, a 1970 Ryerson Business graduate, succeeded Richard Malinski as Project Co-ordinator and assumed the overall day-to-day direction of the Transitional Funding Project. Many of the files and records in this collection were maintained by Richard Malinski in his capacity as Project Co-ordinator and date from 1992 to 1995. They were deposited in the Archives in 1995-1996 (A.1995-004, A.1996-019). The material was received in relatively good order, although some items were reorganized and in some cases, re-arranged in chronological order. Most of the sub-series in this record group have a restricted access condition because of the sensitive and recent nature of the information. This status will be subject to re-evaluation in future years. The physical extent of this collection is 55 cm.

Drama at Ryerson

  • University Name

This group was created after reviewing the documentation files "Drama" and "Drama Council". It is evident that Ryerson has produced numerous drama productions since the early 1950s, but insufficiant and conflicting information provided at this time make it difficult to determine under whose jurisdiction some of the material contained in these files should be arranged. It was therefore decided to create an umbrella group and arrange the 'Drama Council' file and the 'Drama' file materials, not already arranged under the existing groups ROW, RIOT and Theatre School, under this new group. As more information is obtained, the files will be reviewed accordingly.

Ryerson Aboriginal Student Services

  • University Name
  • 1993-

Ryerson Aboriginal Student Services - also known by its acronym R.A.S.S. - provides a culturally supportive environment to promote academic excellence and serves as a place to balance academic learning with traditional teachings and culture.
R.A.S.S started in 1993 with the purpose of offering peer support, tutoring, cultural, events and many other services geared to develop an Aboriginal presence on campus.

The role of the office is to provide specialized services for Aboriginal, Metis and Inuit students on campus and to develop a mutually productive relationship between Ryerson and the Aboriginal Community.

The Cultural and Traditional Teachings program compliments, and supports existing services and programs.

The service provides Aboriginal students with the opportunity to spend time with Elders, to receive traditional counselling and support cultural teachings not reflected in the school curriculum. In 1998, Ryerson was home to the first traditional Pow-Pow held on a Toronto University campus. The event was part of the Aboriginal Services’ mandate to promote traditional teaching and access to aboriginal cultural events for the Ryerson Community.

R.A.S.S. invites Traditional Teachers from the Aboriginal community, to share indigenous knowledge and traditions, to teach Aboriginal history, culture and protocols. R.A.S.S. also promotes Ryerson at Aboriginal job fairs, on reserves such as the Grand River Six Nations, and at the Canadian Aboriginal Festival.
