    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.
