Dear EDC community,<\/p>\n

I regret to share with you the unexpected news of the passing of Dr. Doug Ruth, Dean Emeritus at the University of Manitoba.<\/p>\n

Doug Ruth was a core faculty member at the University of Manitoba for more than 30 years, including Dean of the Faculty from 1999-2010, NSERC Chair in Design Engineering from 2011-2016, Associate Dean (Design Education), and founding Director of the Centre for Engineering Professional Practice & Engineering Education. He was honored as Dean Emeritus, and he officially retired at the end of December 2018.\u00a0 His contributions to our community were many, including the legacy of the building \/ refurbishment of the Engineering & Information Technology Complex which opened in 2007. He was always immensely proud of our Faculty, our students, and the engineering profession, and he encouraged us all to be proud of our role in \u201ca profession hiding in plain sight\u201d.<\/p>\n

As much as he was appreciated by our University\u2019s faculty, staff, and fellow institutional leaders for the person he was and the projects he undertook, we know his reach extended beyond our campus and into the Engineering Deans Canada network, the Canadian Academy of Engineering, and more.<\/p>\n

Doug was diagnosed with lymphoma several years ago, and he was being actively and successfully treated for it. \u00a0He sent regular updates that exuded his usual enthusiasm and positive outlook, as well as his interest in the technology aspects of his treatment.\u00a0 His sudden passing is a shock to all who knew him.\u00a0 A short story appeared on our institutional media<\/a> yesterday, including a link to an opportunity to honour Doug\u2019s life & legacy<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Warm regards,
\nMarcia Friesen<\/p>\n
