With February being Black History Month, we wanted to highlight some Black community members who have made an impact at Renison.
Meet David, a 4th year Mechanical Engineering student and organizer of ABC Chill, a new event for African, Black, and Caribbean students.
In February, in honour of Black History Month, we are celebrating the achievements of the many Black Renison Community members, including Alum Ajirioghene Evi (SDS ’09, BSW ’11). Ajirioghene has recently become CEO of the Ontario Association of Social Workers (OASW) where she can have a positive impact on the lives of social workers across Ontario.
Ajirioghene has been in the position for a few months, so we asked her to tell us about the journey so far.
Wishing everyone in our community a happy and restful Holiday season.
However you spend the break, we hope you arrive in 2025 refreshed and rejuvenated!
This past weekend the crisp weather couldn't dampen our enthusiasm as we celebrated Renison's wonderful graduates during their Fall Convocation!
Thank you to all friends and family who came to support the grads and most importantly, congratulations goes to each of our Graduates! All the best for your bright futures!
This week, we celebrate with Renison grads who will walk across the stage and receive their degree during Fall Convocation. Congratulations to each of you!
We are so grateful and proud to have you as part of the Renison community of alumni – and we can’t wait to see what you do next!
We are also happy to announce our Fall 2024 Student Award Winners, each of whom embodies the values of Renison in a special way.
The Renison University College Board of Governors held the Annual General Meeting (AGM) yesterday on Wednesday, October 23, 2024. At that event, the 2024 Annual Report was presented and is now available.
It has been a great pleasure to serve another year as chair of the Board for Renison University College. This past year has been a busy and productive year. Dr. Wendy Fletcher successfully fulfilled her contract as President and we welcomed our new President Dr. Marc Jerry. We are thrilled to have Marc lead us into the next Renison chapter. Marc is an experienced academic leader. Most importantly Dr. Jerry shares Renison values and commitment to keeping students at the centre, to building a trusting community where everyone is welcome, and to a just and inclusive world.
Dear Renison Community:
This is my first letter to the community in our Annual Report as President and Vice-Chancellor of Renison University College following the conclusion of Dr. Wendy L. Fletcher’s term as President from 2014-2024. On behalf of the entire Renison community, I must express my sincerest thanks and gratitude to Dr. Fletcher for her time and service as our President. As you all well know, Wendy’s time here has been transformative for the institution having led us through the impacts of the pandemic and more recently through the development of a new strategic plan.

For Dr. Marc Jerry, Renison’s President and Vice-Chancellor of only a few months, one thing is clear – people are important. From all corners of Renison – staff, faculty, students, visitors – Marc wants the community to know that at Renison, you are safe and you are welcome.
