As we reflect on another remarkable year, I am filled with profound gratitude for our community’s enduring spirit. Now in my third year as President and Vice-Chancellor of Renison University College, I have enjoyed being a part of a multi-faceted community: one that includes degree programming, international programs, student housing and experience, food services, and much more. Every employee and every area of the institution is an important part of what makes up Renison University College. Our community is deeply dedicated to the whole student and their entire success and well-being.
Rooted in our rich Anglican heritage, our mission remains focused on providing a nurturing, values-driven environment that provides a superior education within a caring, supportive community. As you explore the following pages and financial statements, it is noteworthy that we are working with a balanced budget approach: this intentional fiscal prudence is necessary to ensure our ability to be a going concern. Our fiscal stability forms the bedrock of our future growth.
To build on this foundation, we are embarking on an exciting capital campaign to expand our student residence: three new floors with 96 beds. This will be another transformative moment in Renison’s history. Renison has the unique privilege of offering a deeply personalized level of care and service to our student residents. We know from former residents that it is Renison’s ability to see and know each of our community members as the individuals that they are that sets us apart. This residence expansion will allow more students to experience that level of support: a level of support Renison is known for.
I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to our entire community for championing this vital initiative. Your generosity directly ensures that our students have the environment they need to thrive spiritually, emotionally, and academically.
As we look towards 2026-2027, we will continue our strategic forward looking as we imagine what makes Renison unique and valuable for the long term.
Thank you for your support!
Warmly,
Rev. Dr. Marc Jerry
President and Vice-Chancellor, Renison University College
