ANNUAL REPORT
2013 • 2014
Our campuses
The Université de Moncton was created in 1963.
Its three campuses are located in New Brunswick,
in Edmundston, Moncton and Shippagan.
A generalist institution, it offers a range of study
programs at the three university levels to respond
to the needs of the population it serves. The
largest French-language university outside
Quebec, it offers its services to the vast Frenchspeaking diaspora across Canada, making it the
most important symbol of linguistic and cultural
vitality for the Fancophone population living
outside Quebec. It attracts an ever-increasing
number of international students from more
than forty countries.

Message from the President
and vice-chancellor
2013-2014 could well be deemed the year of strategic
planning at the Université de Moncton. As the festivities
marking the institution’s 50th anniversary were coming to an
end, we were preparing the next phase of our history.
In the spring of 2013, we had already published a discussion
paper to guide our reflection over the next months. Thus,
we launched a vast consultation exercise that called upon a
number of people, both on and off our three campuses, to
express their views regarding the new face of the university,
their university.
Held under the banner Osez rêver (Dare to Dream),
the strategic planning sessions, attended by close to
600 people, provided an opportunity to imagine the
Université de Moncton of the future, and to reflect on its
fundamental mission with a view for renewal and, if need be,
redeployment.
The exercise enabled the many people who have the
future of the university at heart to share their dreams
and their aspirations. The high point of the consultation
exercise were the days of dialogue held on October 30
and 31: representatives from the three campuses and their
communities came together to attend the last meeting where
priorities for future action were validated and enriched.
As a result of the process, in December 2013, the
Université de Moncton adopted its strategic plan, titled
Un rêve qui nous appartient (A dream to call our own).
This plan will chart the course of the institution’s future
over the next several years.
It focuses on five key areas: quality of education and
student experience; commitment; internationalization;
research, development, creation and innovation; excellence
in governance and organizational management. They
articulate the priorities and strategic objectives on which
the Université de Moncton must focus its attention to
accomplish its mission and reach its full potential. I urge
you to consult this Annual Report to discover what we
accomplished during the past year.
Our university continues to face important challenges.
However, I believe that we are now better prepared to
overcome them.

PRIORITY
Quality education and student experience
Contributing to the intellectual and personal development of students is
at the core of the Université de Moncton’s mission. We must, therefore,
create a university environment that is both inspiring and supportive
for students. A quality student experience is conducive to success and
perseverance in one’s studies and it favours a socially and culturally rich
life on campus.
The Université de Moncton experience must be considered as a
continuum to which each member is expected to contribute, from the
recruitment process until graduation.
The institution is committed to offering quality education and a range of
study programs that are pertinent for both society and the labour market.
This commitment is illustrated by a number of broad initiatives in which
faculty members actively engage, both in various university forums and in
contacts with students in the classroom.

Launch of Accès emploi Édupôle generates
interest
Accès emploi Édupôle was officially launched in June 2013 at the Édupôle
student centre. This initiative is the result of a partnership between the
Cité des Jeunes A.-M.-Sormany, the CCNB Edmundston campus and the
university’s Edmundston campus. Funded by the Department of PostSecondary Education, Training and Labour, Accès emploi Édupôle aims to
facilitate and accelerate the transition for youth to the labour market by
providing them with job search tools and workshops on various themes.
Encouraging academic success at the Shippagan
campus
The Shippagan campus has launched a unique concept called Vitrine. It is
a web-based reference tool that contains tons of information on various
courses and disciplines. It includes quiz banks with solutions, templates for
course plans, templates for assessments and much more. Access to this tool
is limited to students registered at the Shippagan campus.
Mohamed Touaibia receives excellence in
teaching award
Recognition event for
student athletes
Mohamed Touaibia, associate professor at the Faculty of science (chemistry
and biochemistry department), is the recipient of the excellence in teaching
award. He was presented with a certificate of recognition during spring
convocation ceremonies at the Moncton campus.
In October 2013, the physical activity
and sport service (SAPS) organized
an evening of recognition under
the banner Vivre vos rêves (Living
the dream). Student athletes who
maintained an average of at least 3.7
during the 2012-2013 academic year
were recognized during a fundraiser for
both the SAPS and the CHU Dumont
Foundation. The event also included
a keynote speech by former National
Hockey League player Steven Finn,
who played in the NHL for 12 seasons
with the Quebec Nordiques and two
other teams.
Dr. Touaibia has been teaching at the university since 2007. He obtained
a bachelor of science from the Lycée of Tenes, in Algeria, in 1991; a
postgraduate diploma in chemistry from the University of Algiers in 1995;
a magister in organic chemistry from the Université of Tlemcen in 1998 and a
PhD in molecular pharmacochemistry from the Université Paris VII in 2002.
Manon Jolicoeur shortlisted for SSHRC Impact
Award
A Faculty of education doctoral student, Manon Jolicoeur was on the shortlist
of finalists in the Talent Award category of the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council Awards (SSHRC).
The recipient of a doctoral SSHRC scholarship, Ms. Jolicoeur was selected
based on the success of her research project entitled Lire, ça compte (Reading
Matters) which she has been conducting since 2009 in cooperation with
hockey coaches in Southeastern New Brunswick. The Talent Award recognizes
outstanding achievement by a current SSHRC doctoral or postdoctoral
fellowship or scholarship award holder. This award is given to an individual
who maintains academic excellence, has a talent for research and knowledge
mobilization and has demonstrated clear potential to become a future leader
within or outside the academic sector.

PRIORITY
engagement
The Université de Moncton’s participation in the development and vitality
of Francophone and Acadian society has been well entrenched in its
mission for fifty years. The institution has been, and is still, a stepping
stone to the development of Francophone and Acadian communities here
and elsewhere.
Dedicated to the advancement and transmission of knowledge, the
Université de Moncton must also serve public interest in a significant way.
An institution of learning and research, it must retain the objective of
contributing to the general improvement of society by providing probing
research that enables its members to better understand its evolution and
ensure its vitality.
The Université de Moncton also wants to offer students opportunities
for experiential learning to enable them to discover societal issues and
develop a sense of civic responsibility.
Spotlight on the Edmundston campus’
contribution to its community
In September 2013, a conference hosted by Vice-president
Jacques Paul Couturier was held to focus on the key roles the Edmundston
campus plays in its community. With its 110 employees and more than
400 students who are clients of the region’s businesses, the overall
impact of the campus on the local economy is estimated at close to
$22.5 million annually.

Round table on sustainable development and the
shale gas industry
In October 2013, the international marketing centre organized a round table
on sustainable development and the shale gas industry, in conjunction with
the Faculty of graduate studies and research, and the environmental studies
master’s program.
The purpose of the event was to illustrate the various aspects that managers
must consider to make socially responsible decisions in this industry. There
were presentations by a number of scientists in their areas of expertise on the
social, environmental and economic issues related to the shale gas industry in
New Brunswick.
Roméo Savoie honoured by alumni association
In October 2013, the Moncton campus alumni and friends association
honored Roméo Savoie with the Order of Merit for Université de Moncton
graduates. The event, called “Soirée Ovation” took place at the Delta
Beauséjour in Moncton. A true pioneer of contemporary art in the region,
Mr. Savoie charted the course for several generations of artists. His invaluable
contribution to arts and culture has made this exceptional individual a source
of inspiration and pride. He holds a bachelor of arts from the Université
Saint-Joseph de Memramcook (1950), a bachelor of architecture from the
École des beaux-arts de Montréal (1956) and a master’s in plastic arts from
the Université du Québec à Montréal (1988).
Political sciences department marks 40 years
In 2013, the political sciences department celebrated the 40th anniversary
of its foundation. For the occasion, the department organized a round table
with alumni from the field of political sciences. The theme for discussion was
the contribution of the Université de Moncton’s political sciences department
to the Acadian community, to Canada and worldwide.
Research project on flooding
In June 2013, Shippagan campus professor André Robichaud initiated
a research project to study the impact of flooding to the year 2100. The
research should provide answers to questions from coastal communities
on the impact of coastal flooding.
Open house at the Shippagan campus
Convocation ceremonies in 2013-2014
During its 2013 open house, held in October, the campus received
125 students from schools in the communities of Shippagan, Caraquet,
Tracadie-Sheila, Néguac, Bathurst, Dalhousie and Saint-Quentin.
The open house for the nursing sector was held in November in Bathurst.
At the October 2013 convocation, Michel Massiéra was granted professor
emeritus status in engineering, while Thu Pham-Gia became professor
emeritus in statistics.
Law faculty celebrates 35 years
In May 2014, convocation ceremonies were held at all three campuses.
Eighty-two degrees, diplomas and certificates were awarded at the
Edmundston campus, while the Shippagan campus awarded 81 degrees.
In November 2013, as part of the activities marking the 35th anniversary
of its creation, the Faculty of law presented the eighth conference of
the J.-Fernand-Landry conference series. Honourable Justice
Thomas A. Cromwell, from the Supreme Court of Canada, delivered the
lecture. A seminar on access to justice was organized on the same occasion.
Finally, during convocation ceremonies at the Moncton campus, the
Université de Moncton conferred close to 800 degrees.

PRIORITY
Internationalization
Over the last three decades, the student population and faculty of
the Université de Moncton’s three campuses have become highly
internationalized. The university community is supportive of this trend.
It must, however, keep pace with the change and invest the resources
required to properly welcome and fully integrate students from all over
the world in order to guarantee their success.
At the three campuses, international recruitment is growing rapidly. Each
campus must therefore continue to assess its capacity to welcome an
ever-increasing international student population.
The university hopes that the strategy for internationalization will
encompass the classroom, teaching methods, collaborations in the area
of research and the development of exchange and mobility initiatives for
both students and faculty.

Renewal of agreement with the Université de
Bretagne-Sud
During the summer of 2013, the Université de Moncton concluded an
agreement in principle with the Université de Bretagne-Sud (UBS) supporting
the renewal of collaboration between its faculty of administration and the
Université de Bretagne-Sud’s Faculty of law, economics and management,
providing mainly for a double diploma at the master level.
Conference on mobility of students and young
workers
In September 2013, during a visit by a Canada-France Parliamentary
Association delegation, the French Consulate in the Atlantic Provinces, the
Société Nationale de l’Acadie and the university organized a conference on
the mobility of students and young workers. Delegates, elected officials and
senators discussed ways to increase mobility for youth between Canada and
France, whether for study, practicums or work experience.
International mobility day
Economic information Observatory
International mobility day was held on Wednesday, January 29, 2014 at
the Moncton campus. This was an opportunity for many students to obtain
information on the universities partnering with the Université de Moncton,
as well as to meet students from partnering universities and local students
who have studied abroad.
A project to establish an Economic Information Observatory has been
initiated by the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency, the French
Chamber of Commerce in Canada – Atlantic Network, the Saint-Pierre
and Miquelon Chamber of Agriculture, Commerce, Industry, Arts and
Crafts and PROVIS, the Shippagan campus observatory for long-term
planning and information and scientific monitoring. This initiative is part
of the regional cooperation between the Atlantic Canada Opportunities
Agency and Saint-Pierre and Miquelon.
Symposium on language rights in Great Britain
and Ireland
In October 2013, the International Observatory on Language Rights
organized a symposium entitled Language Rights in Great Britain
and Ireland: the Irish, Scottish, and Wales’ experiences. Guests at the
symposium were Colin Williams, Cardiff University, Wales;
Peadar Ó Flatharta, Dublin City University, Ireland; Robert Dunbar,
University of Edinburgh, Scotland. The symposium highlighted the
particular language circumstances in Great Britain and the Republic of
Ireland, which are not as homogeneous as one might think. It was an
opportunity to show Canadians that there are countries other than Canada
where a language has a minority status in relation to English.
First cohort of Brazilian students
The university has welcomed its first cohort of five students from Brazil.
This is an initiative of the Science without Borders program, mainly funded
by the Government of Brazil. In the summer of 2013, these students
participated in the extended services Explore immersion program.
They met with professors from the Shippagan campus coastal zones
management program.
International conference on the different
varieties of French used in Canada
In June 2014, the university hosted the 5th edition of Les français d’ici,
an international conference on the different varieties of French used
in Canada. Organized by the university’s research centre for applied
linguistics and the project entitled “Le français à la mesure d’un
continent : un patrimoine en partage” (France Martineau, director), the
conference received funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities
Research Council’s Major Collaborative Research Initiatives. Lecturers
were Michel Francard (Université de Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgique),
Alexandra Jaffe (California State University, Long Beach, California,
United States) and Marie-Ève Perrot (Université d’Orléans, France).

PRIORITY
Research, development, creation and innovation
Developing research and graduate programs are among the Université
de Moncton’s priorities. We firmly believe that the reputation of an
institution of knowledge is largely based on its capacity to conduct
strategic research activities that generate, among other things, an
increase in knowledge, development, creation and innovation (RDCI).
Although research mostly serves the purpose of advancing knowledge,
it also impacts several facets of the strategic plan, namely support to
learning and recruitment. The development, transfer and communication
of new knowledge broaden the horizons of an institution and raise its
profile.
Northern Hardwoods Research Institute
RDCI is an area of potential growth that will be instrumental for the
Université de Moncton. Therefore, we must invest in its infrastructure and
intensify our support in that area.
In June 2014, the CNFS - Université de Moncton Health Research Chair
in Aging Populations was officially launched. A project of the Consortium
national de formation en santé (CNFS), the new chair is led by Suzanne
Dupuis-Blanchard. The school of nursing professor has been director of the
institution’s research centre on aging for several years.
Canada Research Chair in Polar and Boreal
Ecology
The university has been awarded a new Canada research chair to be known
as the Canada Research Chair in Polar and Boreal Ecology. Nicolas Lecomte,
Faculty of science (biology department), is the chair holder. Dr. Lecomte’s
goal is to identify major changes occurring in polar and boreal ecosystems
through short and long-term research projects, including large-scale spatial
studies conducted in stations located throughout the Arctic.
8
a dream to call our own
The Northern Hardwoods Research Institute was inaugurated in February
2014 at the Edmundston campus. The applied research centre will increase
the practical knowledge used to develop hardwood management silviculture
programs. An initiative that will ensure long-term sustainability of the
resource, it could generate products that are more competitive in both
national and international markets.
Health Research Chair in Aging Populations
This research chair will provide the university with an opportunity to develop
expertise in an area of great relevance to our region – population aging is
particularly high in Atlantic French-speaking communities.
Innovation Foundation Research Chair in Biosciences
Department of biology professor Marc Surette is the holder of the
New Brunswick Innovation Foundation Research Chair in Biosciences.
This new research chair will focus on the study of lipids, including
the development of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids for food and
pharmaceuticals. Dr. Surette will receive an amount of $1.175 million
over a period of five years for his research.
Research group receives excellence award
Language Industry Development Centre
The Littoral et vie research group, a group studying life on the coast, has
received an excellence award. The article entitled “Human competences
that facilitate adaptation to climate change: a research in progress”
published in the International Journal of Climate Change Strategies and
Management received the journal’s first excellence award for 2013. The
authors of the article are: Jackie Kerry (research group), Diane Pruneau
(education), Sylvie Blain (education), Joanne Langis (research group),
Pierre-Yves Barbier (education), Marie-Andrée Mallet (research group),
Evgueni Vichnevetski (education), Jimmy Therrien (research group),
Paul Deguire (sciences), Viktor Freiman (education), Mathieu Lang
(education) and Anne-Marie Laroche (engineering). In the research
described in the article, the authors focused on the adaptation
competencies to climate change of two groups of Canadian citizens:
municipal employees and farmers.
In May 2014, the Government of New Brunswick announced an investment
of $440,000 to help establish a language industry development centre
(DILan). The project, valued at more than $1.7 million over five years,
aims at developing new technologies to support the province’s language
industry. In June 2014, the business partner in the initiative, Transmed,
established offices on the Shippagan campus to be in close proximity to
the researchers.
The Littoral et vie research group is now also a member of the
Development Solutions Network, a network under the umbrella of the
United Nations.
Canadian Research Chair in Acadian and
Minority Studies
The university was awarded a tier II Canada Research Chair and funding
of $500,000, renewable once. The holder of the chair is Benoit DoyonGosselin who submitted the project entitled “Canadian Research Chair
in Acadian and Minority Studies”. Professor Doyon-Gosselin received an
additional grant of $42,766 from the Canadian Foundation for Innovation’s
Canadian Research Chairs Infrastructure Fund.

PRIORITY
Excellence in governance and
organizational management
Excellence in governance and organizational management are pillars
of the Université de Moncton’s mission. We must strive to implement
processes for decision-making, management and control that lead to
accountability and transparency in organizational governance. The
discharge of our mandate and mission in the areas of education and
research must be supported by budgetary and administrative processes
that support these objectives. At the three campuses, we must manage
available resources efficiently and responsibly. We must harmonize
investments and the allocation of our limited resources with the
institution’s strategic priorities.
It is essential that we periodically review the university’s mechanism for
governance as well as its operational and decision-making processes.
Renewing the governance framework and adopting the best practices
available in the university environment will go a long way to ensuring
open and sound management.
The quality and reputation of a university is first and foremost determined
by the capacity of its human capital to develop and transmit knowledge.
However, we must also bear in mind that the accomplishment of a
university’s mission needs to be supported by rigorous governance
objectives and responsible and transparent management.

a dream to call our own
A dream to call our own
At its November 30th meeting in Moncton, the Board of Governors adopted a
strategic plan to chart the course of the institution’s future until 2020. Entitled
Un rêve qui nous appartient (A dream to call our own), the plan stems from a
vast consultation process that mobilized the entire university community.
Strategic plan: one step further
On June 7, 2014, the university took another step in implementing its
strategic plan. The Board of Governors’ governance committee tabled a
work plan that provides for the undertaking of 18 projects grouped under
nine themes. The Board intends to adopt best practices, a governance
structure and a code of conduct for its members. It also plans to put forth a
compensation policy for the institution’s senior management.
Forestry training recovery plan
On July 1st, 2013, the Faculty of forestry’s academic and administrative
structures were amended. Now a school under the dean of studies, the
former faculty is headed by a director (no longer a dean). Then in August,
the Academic Senate adopted the recommended amendments to the
forestry program to make the program more attractive and to conform to the
program reconfiguration parameters. Finally, the recruitment officer position
was regularized as recommended in the Godbout Report.
Wellness committee recognized at provincial
banquet
The Moncton campus wellness committee (CMU) was rewarded during
the Wellness at Heart Award banquet. This event is a joint initiative of
the Government of New Brunswick, the College of Psychologists of
New Brunswick and the Heart and Stroke Foundation of New Brunswick.
Together, they recognize New Brunswick organizations and workplaces
that promote wellness. The CMU won the Silver award and was cited for its
efforts to measure its achievements. CMU chair Suzanne Harrison, a school
of nursing professor, is supported by Jacques Cormier, human resources,
Jeanne Godin, school of food sciences, nutrition and family studies, and
Roger G. LeBlanc, school of kinesiology and leisure.
The following are embodied in the guiding principles:
• retention and commitment of students;
• retention and commitment of staff and faculty members;
• healthy learning environment;
• healthy interpersonal relations and resilience;
• social and emotional needs of the student population, staff and faculty
members, especially with respect to mental health issues.
Initiative to promote psychological well-being
The Université de Moncton strives to create a safe, healthy, dynamic and
inspiring work environment conducive to quality education, research and
innovation.
The mission of the psychological well-being initiative is to create awareness
and promote positive mental health for all members of the university
community. Aimed at developing a culture that promotes positive mental
health, the initiative’s mandate is to increase awareness of the three
main ingredients of positive psychological health and to develop the
skills required to increase the well-being of the university community and
environment.
The strategic goal is to develop and maintain a culture of psychological
well-being for the student population as well as for staff and faculty
members by safeguarding their feelings of autonomy and competence as
well as their sense of belonging.
