RE Renaming of the Institute for Research on Early Education and Child
Health (REACH)
DATE August 23, 2012
Attached is a letter from Dr. Maureen Hoskyn, requesting that the name of the
Institute for Research on Early Education and Child Health (REACH)
be changed to the
Centre for Research on Early Child Health and Education
(CRECHE). There is a research centre operating at the University of Victoria that is
named REACH, causing confusion to donors and to many of the members of the
community where they conduct research and programs. Also, the name change more
accurately reflects it's status as a research centre
I recommend approval. Once approved by SCUP the request should be sent to Senate
and the Board of Governors for information.
Motion:
That SCUP approve the name of the Institute fo/HR.esearch op^arryHkiucation and
Child Health (REACH) be changed to the
Centre] fo^J^search on Ea% Child
Health and Education (CRECHE).

Dr. Mario Pinto,
Vice-President Research,
SFU, Burnaby, B.C.
Dear Dr. Pinto,
Iam writingthis memo to request that the Institute for Researchon Early Child Health and Education
(REACH) be renamed to the Centre for Research on Early Child Health and Education (CRECHE). There is
a research centre operating at the University of Victoria that is named REACH, and we find that this is
causingconfusion to donors and to many of the members of the community where we conduct research
and programs.
Our proposed name accurately reflects the past and current activities of our research centre. This name
change has been discussed with, and approved by Dr. Kris Magnussen, the Dean of the Faculty of
Education.
Kind regards,
Maureen Hoskyn,
Executive Director.
