�PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE
Creating a strategic plan requires people to set aside their personal interests and focus
on what is best for the organization as a whole. The University committee that worked
this past year to prepare the Lakehead University Strategic Plan 2010-2013 did just
that. As a result, we have a document that will help Lakehead University maintain
its momentum and position itself for the immediate future when it welcomes a new
President in 2010.
The four pillars of the Strategic Plan - Sustainability of the University,
Comprehensiveness of the Academy, Research Growth, and Diversity - are built upon
many practices already in place, and will ensure that the institution takes advantage of
opportunities to come.

Frederick F. Gilbert, PhD
President and Vice-Chancellor

This year marks the graduation of the Charter Class of the Northern Ontario School of
Medicine. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all those who helped celebrate this
and other important milestones this year, and thank those who continue to realize their
potential through their association with Lakehead University.

�Lakehead University Strategic Plan

2010-2013
When Dr. Fred Gilbert steps down in
2010 after almost 12 years of service
as President and Vice-Chancellor of
Lakehead University, the institution
will have a plan that embodies a
renewed vision for the future.
The Lakehead University Strategic
Plan 2010-2013 was developed this
year at the request of the Board of
Governors to provide continuity
between the existing administration
and the new administration. It sets out
four interrelated strategic directions
which Lakehead University must
focus on: ( 1) Sustainability of the
University (2) Comprehensiveness of
the Academy (3) Research Growth
and (4) Diversity.
Within each of these four strategic
directions there are objectives and
targets along with rationales and
expectations. President Gilbert notes
that this strategic plan sets out clear
objectives and does so in a way that
is more encompassing than previous
strategic plans. In essence, it is a plan
that shows that Lakehead University,
learning from its past, better
understands its direction and sets the
guideposts to achieve its ends.
Strategic planning is an evolutionary
process. The Lakehead University
Strategic Plan 2010-2013 is built
on two earlier strategic plans, and
includes many ideas contained in
Academic Plan 2006 and Momentum
for Future Prosperity: Lakehead
University's Strategic Research Plan
2007-2012.

Ultimately, Lakehead University
Strategic Plan 2010-2013 provides
continuity between administrations.
It will be a valuable guiding document
for the next President, the Board
of Governors, the Senate, and the
University community.

Lakehead University Annual Report 2008-2009

SUSTAINABILITY OF
THE UNIVERSITY
The key to realizing financial
sustainability of the University is to
achieve greater efficiencies without
jeopardizing academic integrity.
Lakehead University Strategic Plan
2010-2013 identifies many ideas for
change - on both the academic and
administrative sides of the campus.
Objective: Recognizing that Lakehead
University needs to increase student
numbers at both campuses, it is
recommended that the enrolment
target based on head count in the fall/
winter termfor 2010 be 8,500 students
(1,100 of these at the Orillia Campus)
and for 2013 be 9,000 students (1 ,500
of these at the Orillia Campus).
Furthermore, 10% of the students on
the Thunder Bay Campus would be at
the graduate level. Such an enrolment
increase should not be at the expense
of academic standards.
One idea to achieve financial
sustainability is the consolidation of
courses and the reduction of course
offerings with low enrolment. Another
is the renaming or repackaging of
courses and programs.
How Lakehead moves forward
beginning in 2010 will be decided,
in large part, by Deans' Council
- a committee chaired by the VicePresident (Academic) and Provost,
and comprising the Deans of each of
Lakehead's nine Faculties, the Dean
of the Orillia Campus, as well as the
University Librarian, the Vice-Provost
(Aboriginal Initiatives), and the ViceProvost (Student Affairs).
The process of rationalizing its
academic offerings gives Lakehead
University the opportunity to enrich
and enhance the comprehensiveness
of its academy. While some may balk
at the idea of changing old familiar
ways, rationalization will allow
Lakehead to be more strategic in the
deployment of its teaching resources
without jeopardizing academic quality.

COMPREHENSIVENESS OF THE
ACADEMY
The word "comprehensiveness" in
the context of Lakehead University
Strategic Plan 2010-2013 refers to
the depth and breadth of academic
programming at the undergraduate
and graduate levels, and the delivery
of that programming in a variety of
ways, including distributed learning
(distance education).
Key objectives pertaining to
Lakehead University - Orillia
Campus illustrate the particular ways
in which sustainability is linked to
comprehensiveness in the Lakehead
University Strategic Plan 2010-2013:
Objective: Programs offered at both
Lakehead University campuses will
be developed to complement and
enhance one another.
Objective: Academic planning
and implementation at Lakehead
University will require collaboration
among relevant academic units,
committees, and administrative offices
at both campuses.
Objective: Students on both campuses
and at a distance will be exposed to
the rich resources available at both
campuses and via CEDL ( Continuing
Education and Distributed Learning).
Objective: Lakehead University,
building on existing international
relationships and alumni/ae relations,
will seek out structured programming
for student and faculty exchanges,
collaborative research/outreach
and joint development of academic
courses with a global focus.
Not only will the Orillia Campus
enable Lakehead University to
increase its enrolment and therefore
become more economically viable, it
will give Lakehead the opportunity to
develop new courses and programs,
and experiment with new ways of
offering them.

Champions of Environmental Sustainability
Alex Boulet is working to enhance the culture of sustainability and environmental
consciousness on campus. As the Lakehead University Student Union's first fulltime Sustainability Commissioner, he is building on a number of "green" initiatives
that have been implemented by his peers - initiatives such as carpooling, community
gardening, composting, and drinking tap water instead of bottled water. This year, for
example, Boulet has been collaborating with University staff to ensure that student
orientation events are organized in an environmentally friendly way.

"Sometimes it's the little things that make a real difference," he says, "Cutting back
on air conditioning during the summer months. Installing more drinking fountains
to reduce the need for bottled water. Ensuring that every photocopier on campus is

sustainability. ■

as those who want extra time
or a more convenient time to
take courses.

�The expectation that Lakehead will
continue its journey toward becoming
a more sustainable university
within a comprehensive academy is
based on the recognition that many
successful initiatives have already
been undertaken. Lakehead University
is building a LEED Platinum energyefficient campus in Orillia set to open
in September 2010. Renewals to the
Thunder Bay Campus have resulted
in dramatic reductions in energy
use, energy cost, and greenhouse
gas emissions. And there are other
student-driven "green" initiatives
under way that encourage the campus
community to reduce, reuse, and
recycle.
Lakehead University Strategic Plan
2010-2013 sets out clear objectives in
other areas relating to sustainability:
improving recruitment, retention, and
student satisfaction levels; developing
a functioning program to enhance
student awareness of, and involvement
in, the activities of the Lakehead
University Alumni Association;
implementing dynamic, modem, and
measurable communication strategies
to market the University to students
and potential donors; and educating
faculty on technology transfer
opportunities.
All in all, Lakehead is committed
to developing academic and
administrative budgets that are fiscally
balanced. In the final analysis, the
growth imperative that pervades the
Lakehead University Strategic Plan
2010-2013 centres around making
Lakehead University more attractive,
raising its profile, and ensuring
that students are satisfied with the
education they receive.
RESEARCH GROWTH
Lakehead University Strategic Plan
2010-2013 incorporates Lakehead
University's goal of becoming one
of the top 25 research-intensive
universities in Canada in the next
5 to 10 years. Many significant
achievements this year, including the
launch of the Biorefining Research
Initiative and the allocation of two
new Tier 1 Canada Research Chairs
(one of which has been split into two
Tier 2 Chairs), show that Lakehead is
on the right track.

Lakehead University Annual Report 2008-2009

Objective: By 2013, Lakehead
University will increase its overall
research funding level with a target
of$24M.
In November 2008, Research
Infosource Inc. announced that
Lakehead had placed third in the
University Income Growth 2002-2007
category, and 30th in Canada's Top
50 Research Universities in 2008, up
from 33rd place in 2007. Moreover,
the report issued by Research
lnfosource indicated that Lakehead
University's sponsored research
income over the past five years had
increased by an enviable 107%. This
is an excellent accomplishment by any
standard and shows that Lake head's
strategic objective of increasing its
overall research funding level by one
third by 2013 is fully achievable.
In a fiscally challenged environment,
universities must declare areas of
research focus in order to increase
research capacity and compete
nationally for funds from programs
supported by the Tri-Councils and the
Canada Foundation for Innovation.
Lakehead University has identified
seven strategic research areas of
advantage and strength: ( 1) Aboriginal
Studies (2) Advanced Technology
Systems (3) Biotechnology and
Material Science (4) Culture and
Society (5) Environmental and
Resource-based Development,
Education, and Policy (6) Health
Research Across the Life Span, and
(7) Northern Studies.
Going forward, Lakehead will
continue to ensure that the recruitment
of new faculty members emphasizes
the candidate's research potential
and excellence, in addition to their
teaching competence, in consideration
of Lakehead's strategic research
priorities.
DIVERSITY
Diversity is the most challenging of
the four strategic directions identified
in the Lakehead University Strategic
Plan 2010-2013 because it demands
that Lakehead ask not only what it
needs to do to enhance the cultural
diversity of its community, but also
what it should be doing. All segments
of the University community must
be committed to, engaged in, and

evaluated on the initiatives and
measures they take to make Lakehead
University a more diverse place.
Objective: Lakehead University
will establish a "Culture Across
the Curriculum" initiative that
encourages faculty to introduce where
appropriate course materials related
to cultural fra meworks, theories, and
understanding.
Lakehead's diverse faculty and
its Aboriginal, domestic, and
international students are a source
of human excellence, cultural
enrichment, and social strength.
There is always more that can be done
to promote awareness, understanding,
and respect for diverse cultures.
Targeted recruitment and cultural
support programs, innovation in the
development of culturally sensitive
and appropriate curricula, and
expanded global interaction are some
examples.
Expectation: Lakehead University
will implement the requirement that
all students prior to graduating fro m
Lakehead University take one course
fro m an offering of several courses
across the curriculum on awareness
and understanding of diverse cultures,
with a strong emphasis on Aboriginal
interests. This requirement would
be implemented by September 2012.
The Senate academic committees
will determine the criteria for such a
course and the Senate Undergraduate
Studies Committee will evaluate which
courses meet these criteria.
Lakehead University has the
expertise to become a vital player
in the international development
area. Engaging globally requires a
dedicated effort to reach measurable
results with respect to student
recruitment, collaborative research,
faculty and student exchanges as
well as larger format development
programming with a direct focus
on the United Nations Millennium
Development Goals activities.
Lakehead is committed to developing
and enhancing its students'
international cultural experiences,
growth, and understanding, as part of
enabling students to reach their full
potential and to be responsible global
citizens. ■

The proposal to create a Faculty of Law at Lakehead University with a focus on access

Stan Beardy, Grand Chief of the Nishnawbe Aski Nation, believes that having a law
school at Lakehead University will make it possible for Aboriginal people to acquire
the skills needed to be significant players in the future development of the region's
natural resources, such as tourism, mining, forestry, hydroelectricity, and water.
"Ontario must invest in legal education now so that future development in this
region will be successful," he says. "If Aboriginal people cannot participate and have
meaningful employment in the new economy, it will have a negative impact on all
sectors."
Tim Pile, Secretary-Treasurer of The Metis Nation of Ontario and a member of the
Lakehead University Board of Governors, believes that developing a law school will
further enhance the comprehensive nature of Lakehead University. For him, the issue
is social accountability. "It is important that lawyers working with First Nation, Metis,
and Inuit people have a good understanding of Aboriginal history and culture," says
Pile. ■

research alliance that will improve the quality of life for those living in long-term care.
The research is being done in partnership with St. Joseph's Care Group in Thunder Bay
and 30 organizations across Canada. "Residents of long-term care homes represent one
of society's most frail and marginalized populations," she says. "Much can be done to
support them and their families when they face end-of-life issues."
Palliative care is a new and specialized program of care for the patient and family that
encompasses disease management; pain and symptom management; psychological,
social, and spiritual needs; end-of-life care and planning; and dealing with mourning,
loss, and grief. Kelley values the strong community partnerships that exist throughout
Northwestern Ontario, as well as the outstanding team of students, staff, and researchers
based at Lakehead. ■

His first chance to influence change came several years ago when an instructor in the
Faculty of Education asked him to speak with student teachers in their professional
year. Awosika's approach was to fashion a workshop that included time for him to
share his experiences as an international student in Toronto and Thunder Bay. Since
then, he has given close to 20 workshops, mostly to undergraduate students, student
ambassadors, residence assistants, and the staff in Human Resources, and Admissions
and Recruitment.
"I try to increase awareness of our differences as they pertain to culture within the

They are attitudes, values, and beliefs - all the things that lie beneath the surface." ■
