Dear valued partners,Great universities only become great through the backing of many dedicated people pulling together towards a common purpose. Since UOIT opened the doors to our first class of 947 students in 2003, our donors have answered the call for support. Each donor has been a vital partner in the success of our students and in the building and shaping of UOIT into a thriving and distinctly modern university.

Over its first decade, UOIT has defined itself as a university prepared to take on grand economic and social challenges by championing research and innovation in advanced manufacturing, sustainable energy and smart communities. The generous support we have received, and the many research collaborations we’ve engaged with community and industry, are helping UOIT build a bridge from Durham Region across Ontario to the rest of the country and to the rest of the world.

Student success illustrates our core essence, and we are extremely proud of our record of creating citizen leaders and problem solvers who are ready to take on the world. Our highly adaptable

and technology-savvy students get jobs, and in many cases create new jobs as entrepreneurs. They are employed at a rate of 95 per cent within two years of graduation. Our alumni are quickly growing in number: more than 8,200 graduates are already applying UOIT-unique knowledge and skills in the workplace.

At the same time, UOIT students face a higher need for financial assistance than any other university in Ontario. More than 60 per cent apply for government assistance and more than 50 per cent receive it. Your investment in UOIT has led to new scholarships and bursaries, which help offset these financial pressures as our students strive to achieve their goals. Your investment has also supported many capital and research projects and helped the university recruit the best faculty and staff and build some of the best ultramodern teaching, learning and research facilities available.

From day one, UOIT has been unwavering in its commitment to providing the best student experience available. This experience is reinforced through an ethos of technology-enriched learning, and an open approach to research that allows students to connect with professors,

gain hands-on experiences and develop leadership skills that are thoroughly grounded in solid science, technology and scholarship. We also create rich learning experiences for our students through unparalleled access to our expanding offering of pathways bridge programs developed with Durham College and other college partners across Ontario.

The occasion of UOIT’s 10th anniversary provides us with a unique opportunity to celebrate our first decade. It also reminds us that our work has truly just begun and it renews our passion as we look ahead to the bright future that awaits our great university and our students – a university we are building with your help. I personally would like to thank you immeasurably and on behalf of the UOIT community we appreciate your support.

Sincerely,

Tim McTiernan, PhD UOIT President and Vice-Chancellor

Stimulating made-in-Canada automotive engineeringThe Alex Williamson Laboratory, a robotics and automation facility, was established thanks to a gift made by the Williamson family in honour of the late community and business leader. Mr. Williamson founded his family’s car dealership in 1947 and took on a significant role in Durham Region’s automotive industry.

“Family and community were important to our grandfather,” says Tracy Evans, Alex Williamson’s granddaughter. “We are very proud of his accomplishments and are thrilled to honour him by naming

a laboratory within UOIT’s Automotive Centre of Excellence (ACE).”

ACE designs and tests emerging technologies, clean fuels and green vehicles, while preparing engineering students to take on a significant role in repositioning Ontario’s automotive sector.

“ACE is helping to reinvigorate the automotive industry in Ontario and the Alex Williamson Laboratory is an important part of this,” says Dr. Tarlochan Sidhu, Dean of the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

“Canada’s economic future needs today’s intellectual capital that can help drive our competitive automotive designs and products in the international market. We want to stimulate demand for made-in-Canada automotive engineering through its innovation, exceptional quality and competitiveness.”

Understanding the challenges today’s students faceGrowing up in Marathon, Ontario was pretty idyllic for Bob Strickert and his family. That is, until Bob’s father fell ill. At that time, he recalls, there was no social safety net and few ways for his mom to earn enough money to cover the family bills. Though times were tough, Bob planned to attend university and never forgot the generous community support he received through scholarships from his local Lion’s Club and Royal Canadian Legion.

Understanding firsthand the importance of financial assistance for students, Bob,

together with his wife Wendy, set up the Strickert Family Bursary in 2003. One of the first students to receive a three-year bursary was UOIT Nuclear Engineering student Nawal Chishty.

“I noticed a sense of worry on my parents’ faces when the combination of my Ontario Student Assistance Program plus savings didn’t add up to tuition and food,” says Nawal, the youngest of five children. “The feeling of helplessness is overwhelming. There weren’t enough hours in a day to attend lectures, lab, tutorials, to

study, and hold down a part-time job.”

Nawal credits the Strickerts’ generosity for allowing her to refocus her energies from financial worry to academic success. In 2007 Nawal graduated with a Bachelor of Engineering in Nuclear Engineering (Honours) and has worked in the field at Ontario Power Generation ever since, making an impact in her industry, the region and the community.

Committee.

Giving: a family legacyAnne Sabat’s mom and dad understood the value of a great education, having no formal education of their own. They believed a good education would have given them more opportunities in life. Arriving in Canada from Ukraine in 1907 as a 17-year-old boy with no formal training, her father struggled to make ends meet. He followed the Canadian railway from Quebec to a lumber yard in British Columbia, and back again to Eastern Canada in search of work, until finally stopping

in Oshawa, where he met his wife and created a life for his young family.

Education was always a popular family discussion. In honour of that, Anne set up a planned gift: a UOIT bursary in her parents’ memory. Anne’s hope is for students to always make the most of an opportunity as it presents itself and that her family’s legacy will live on through the Sabat Family Bursary.

Planned gifts allow you to maintain full control of your assets during your lifetime and, through your estate, make a gift that may not have been possible otherwise. Gifts of life insurance, real estate or securities are all ways you can give. Call the Advancement office at 905.721.8668 ext. 2324 to learn more about the tax advantages of planned giving.

Staff member excited to be part of UOIT’s future“I’m an extremely forward thinker and enjoy being part of an exceptional team at UOIT,” says Lori May, Planning and Budget Officer with the Faculty of Education (FED).

Working in UOIT’s Faculty of Education Building, Lori says she feels she is contributing to Oshawa’s revitalization and can see the positive impact the university is having in the region. A life-long learner, Lori not only works in the FED

but is currently a student there pursuing her Master of Education degree. Both perspectives are proving beneficial as she and colleagues are involved in creating the brand new PhD program that will soon be offered through the faculty.

Lori’s annual gift to UOIT, through a monthly program, supports a FED graduate student with financial need. She believes her contributions help strengthen UOIT, which also benefits the community.

“Many of UOIT’s faculty and staff live in Durham Region. By investing in our students, we are investing in our community. The stronger UOIT is, the stronger we are as a region.”

Lori May is proud of the contribution UOIT has made to the revitatlization of downtown Oshawa.10

Lenbrook gift brings out the best in studentsDavid Simmonds, a pioneer in electronics and telecommunications with an entrepreneurial spirit and founder of the Lenbrook Group of Companies, helped propel the wireless industry in Canada. When he passed away in 2002, his son, Gord, now President and CEO of Lenbrook Corp., wanted to pay tribute to him in a way that would inspire the next generation of leaders. Lenbrook created the David S. Simmonds Entrepreneurship Award, which recognizes excellence within the Faculty of Business and

Information Technology (FBIT) and rewards fourth-year students involved in a winning Capstone project.

“Experiential learning is so important for students facing today’s marketplace,” said Steve Rose, Associate Dean, FBIT. “This award makes it exciting for students to showcase what they can do. Creating a competitive environment brings out the best in everyone.”

The award comes with a $5,000 annual gift, which is divided amongst team

members and goes a long way to offset education costs. The 2012 competition involved 70 teams, with five finalist teams selected and asked to present before a panel of faculty members. Judged on criteria such as team work, business analysis, research and communications, the team led by student Eric Devenyi, won for its project work with an Uxbridge-based spice wholesaler.

The FBIT Capstone program focuses on fourth-year UOIT Commerce, Game Development and Information Technology students who apply their academic skills toward solving real-world business problems or challenges through no-cost consulting.

Donor support unveiledThank you.

Simple words.

Rich in meaning.

True to the UOIT innovative and technology-enriched learning environment, we have found a unique high-touch and high-tech way to thank donors.

At a special donor wall unveiling event held June 20, 2012, UOIT supporters were able to view their giving profile on the digital wall with the touch of a finger. Housed in the Energy Systems

and Nuclear Science Research Centre, the digital donor wall has a permanent listing that honours all donors who have contributed more than $1,000. A second digital wall was also installed at the 61 Charles Street building, connecting the downtown university community with UOIT donors while promoting a culture of philanthropy at both locations.

“Since UOIT opened in 2003, individuals, foundations and industry have contributed millions of dollars in support of students and their pursuit of a university degree,”

said Susan McGovern, Vice-President, External Relations and Advancement. “We are fortunate to have this level of generosity from our community. It is directly proportional to the level of success we have realized as an academic institution in our first 10 years.”

10th Anniversary Milestone MomentWe will officially celebrate

UOIT’s 10th anniversary on

September 4, 2013 at the north

Oshawa location. We want you

to be a part of the celebration,

so please save the date.

Alumnus Naheed Dosani, MD, pays it forward“The UOIT community is like family to me,” says Class of 2008 alumnus Naheed Dosani, MD, now a medical resident who is training at St. Michael’s Hospital in downtown Toronto. “I always want to stay connected.”

A standout student, Naheed received several different entrance scholarships when he began his academic career at UOIT. Recognizing his good fortune, Naheed decided to pay it forward by generously choosing to donate one of the scholarships back to the

university to share with other deserving students. Since then, a first-year student with a minimum 80 per cent average has received the Dr. Naheed Dosani Entrance Scholarship.

Throughout his medical internship, Naheed has come across several UOIT alumni working as health care practitioners. “It is so amazing when I meet fellow UOIT alumni during my practice. We look at each other and it’s an instant bond.”

Naheed served as Homecoming Weekend 2012 Co-Chair, representing UOIT alumni, eager to keep strong the deep bond between UOIT and graduates.

Homecoming Weekend 2012Students form a deep relationship with classmates and professors and carry with them a sense of pride and belonging long after the convocation ceremony ends. While only 10 years old, UOIT has more than 8,200 alumni who are young professionals eager to stay connected to the community that offered so much to them as students.

It’s one of the reasons Homecoming Weekend is an important annual event at UOIT. Homecoming invites back alumni and their families to celebrate together.

UOIT alumni used the occasion of Homecoming 2012 to establish an Alumni Association to represent and build the alumni community. Ten members were elected to the new council at the inaugural Annual General Meeting.

“With the new Alumni Association, there will be greater opportunities to celebrate each other’s achievements, strengthen friendships and create new connections.”

- Matthew Fawcett, class of 2007, Chair, Alumni Association Council

Creating a fantastic learning experienceAs an honours student in the Communication program, specializing in Health Sciences, Steph MacAskill has been recognized as an exceptional student athlete. She was also captain of the UOIT women’s varsity lacrosse team.

“I was amazed to see how much the professors care about each student,” says Steph. “In some institutions students are just a number. Not at UOIT. There are great synergies between students and faculty, creating

a fantastic learning experience in a really supportive environment.”

It was a paper she wrote on cyberbullying that drove home the sentiment about how much faculty members care. Encouraged by her professor, Dr. Sharon Lauricella, she submitted the paper to the National Communication Association where it was reviewed by a panel comprised of professors and PhD students. Steph was invited to present at the 2012 national conference held in Florida, with her flight covered by the conference – a tempting

opportunity but, as a student, she had no way of covering the additional costs.

So impressed with her accomplishment, Acting Dean of Faculty of Social Science and Humanities, Dr. Shahid Alvi, was able to source funding that enabled Steph to attend and proudly represent UOIT.

Inspiring our students to excel The Student Success Fund was established to ensure UOIT students excel. Many of Canada’s brightest and most ambitious students are choosing UOIT. In fact, enrolment has increased tenfold in 10 years, skyrocketing from 947 students in the first year to more than 9,200.

The Student Success Fund helps students in several ways:

Bursaries – providing funds for those students needing financial aid.

Scholarships – rewarding high-achieving undergraduate and graduate students.

Travel and Conference Fund – financial support to attend or present at out-of-town conferences and competitions.

With 50 per cent of UOIT students receiving financial aid from the province, UOIT understands that the need is higher here than in other Ontario universities.

Call the Advancement office at 905.721.8668 ext. 2324 to learn more about how you can contribute to the Student Success Fund.
