Born in Quebec, raised in Africa and in the Middle East, Céline
Galipeau is one of Canada’s leading journalists. Daughter of a journalist
and diplomat, Ms. Galipeau’s interest in international affairs began with
her father insisting that she and her sister listen to the daily BBC radio
newscast at an early age. Before graduating from McGill in 1983, Ms.
Galipeau studied at the Al-Ahliyya Amman University in Jordan and at
Birzeit University on the West Bank.
She began as a television reporter at Radio-Canada’s regional station
in Toronto in 1984. Her first foreign assignment came during the Gulf
War, in 1991. She has worked in cities around the globe, with postings
to London, Moscow, Paris and Beijing. Ms. Galipeau has covered several
war zones, including Chechnya, Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq.
Ms. Galipeau returned to Canada in 2003 to anchor weekend newscasts
for the Société Radio-Canada. In 2009, she became the first woman to
anchor Le Téléjournal, Radio-Canada’s flagship nightly news program.
Ms. Galipeau’s exceptional career has earned her many awards and
distinctions, including an Amnesty International Award (1995), the
first Claire L’Heureux-Dubé Award (2004) and the Raymond-Charette
Award (2006).
Céline Galipeau was named Officer of the Order of Quebec in 2009.
Shawn A-in-chut Atleo is a powerful voice for First Nations in Canada.
For over 20 years he has worked as a leader, negotiator, facilitator,
mediator, and strategic planner on behalf of Aboriginal people and their
communities. He is the National Chief of the Assembly of First Nations.
Chief Atleo served two terms as the A.F.N.’s Regional Chief for BC and
has also been a hereditary Chief of the Ahousaht First Nation since 1999.
He served as Executive Director of a family addiction treatment facility
and President of an Aboriginal post-secondary training institute. He was
a founding member of the B.C. First Nations Leadership Council.
Chief Atleo earned a M.Ed. from the University of Technology in
Sydney, Australia. Over the course of his tenure as National Chief, he
has made education a key focus of the Assembly of First Nations. His
commitment to education was recognized in 2008, when he was named
Chancellor of Vancouver Island University, the first university chancellor
of Aboriginal heritage in the province’s history.
Chief Atleo participated in the United Nations Declaration on the
Rights of Indigenous People and led a delegation to assist in rebuilding
indigenous communities in Indonesia following the 2004 Indian Ocean
earthquake and its associated tsunami.
He was awarded the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Medal in 2012.
John Donald graduated from Bishop’s University in 1960 and earned a
M.B.A. from the University of Western Ontario in 1963.
Mr. Donald has been a model of leadership and entrepreneurship
within Canada’s financial service industry. He joined the Marcil Trust
Company (which was later acquired by RBC Dominion Securities) in
1969 and served as its President until 1984, when he went on to found
Financial Concept Group. He became a partner at the Canadian Real
Estate Investment Trust and later Chairman of Filogix, a financial
services software company.
Since 2004 Mr. Donald has been Chairman of Five Fathom Partners Inc.,
which provides seed capital, private equity, management, governance
and advisory service to the financial services industry in Canada.
Mr. Donald supports numerous charities, including Bishop’s where he
created the Donald Lecture Series to bring accomplished, inspiring and
renowned individuals to our campus.
He has been recognized for his professional accomplishments and his
community service. The Canadian Association of Accredited Mortgage
Professionals inducted Mr. Donald into the Mortgage Hall of Fame, an
honour which recognizes pioneers in the mortgage finance industry. In
2010 he received a Lennoxville Outstanding Achievement Award.
Richard Royer obtained a degree in civil engineering from the
Université de Sherbrooke in 1960, before pursuing further studies at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
In 1962, Mr. Royer joined the engineering firm Côté, Lemieux, Carignan
et Bourque. The firm later became Le Groupe Teknika and, in 1984, he
was named President and CEO. He was instrumental in leading the firm’s
expansion from the Eastern Townships to the Montreal area.
In 1998, as President of Les enterprises Kanitek, Mr. Royer, in
partnership with Le Groupe SM International and D.G.H. Engineering
Ltd., formed Bio-Terre Systems to develop an innovative technology to
transform farming and agri-food waste into fertilizer and green energy.
Mr. Royer sits as a member of the Board of the Dobson-Lagassé
Entrepreneurship Centre. He is a former President of the Association des
ingénieurs-conseils du Québec.
He has served on the boards of CMAC Industries, Verbom Inc., OmniMed.com Inc., the Missisquoi Insurance Company, the Université de
Sherbrooke, the Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Sherbrooke and is

The Business of Art
H
ow does teaching skiing for four
months at Alpe d’Uez above the
tree line (6000'-11000') lead
to owning an art gallery in London,
Ontario with a nation-wide reputation for
specializing in contemporary Canadian
and international art?
When Michael Gibson graduated in
1981 with a BBA, he set short-term goals
that would take him abroad. He attended
Trois-Pistoles French Immersion School
in the summer, learning enough French to
succeed in getting employment in France.
There he made friends who embraced
the arts and worked in retail for the first
time, two experiences that would serve him
well later on. After the ski season ended,
he lived in Paris “where going to museums,
galleries and art auctions was as common
as going to the Lion Pub in Lennoxville.”
On his return to Canada in late 1982 he
landed a job at Richardson Greenshields in
his hometown of London. Michael recalls
visiting many independent retail shops,
including a business called Roth Art,
during his lunch breaks.
“The owner had the street smarts in
business one does not acquire from a
business degree, which I found truly
fascinating. He had an active framing
business and small dynamic poster shop
and was importing and distributing the
posters from Europe throughout Canada.”
The two became friends, and Michael
took on the job as his sales representative
for Canada. In 1984, at age 26, Michael
purchased the business.
He housed the business in several
locations in downtown London before
moving to his current one in 1997. At that
time he hired an architect to help design
the space.
“Build it and they will come was clearly
our vision,” says Michael. “We won a
silver award from the National Post Design
Exchange Awards for small renovations.”
“I dropped the framing and craft sections
of my business and put 100% of my efforts
into selling exclusively original art and
looking to high-end markets,” declares
Michael. “At the time selling original art
constituted only 20% of my business, so
it was a leap of faith.”
It proved to be the right move. Michael
was privileged to purchase the building
in 2006, and his gallery claims national
renown.
In 1998 Michael was accepted as a
member of the Art Dealers Association of
Canada, a 90-member group of his peers,
and served as President of its Board of
Directors from 2007-09.
“Placing original art in private homes,
private businesses and public collections
is an art in itself. I do not sell a useable
or consumed product. I create demand
Michael Gibson ’81
for something of which, in many people’s
minds, there is an endless supply.”
While his business has evolved into
tax and estate planning, collection
management, the purchase and resell
market, and donation and insurance
appraisals, his main focus continues to be
working with artists.
Through ten annual exhibitions, in-depth
catalogues, and lively public events, his
gallery promotes the work of the best
emerging and established regional and
national artists.
He’s participated in 20 art fairs in cities
such as New York, Chicago and Miami, as
well as the Toronto art fair in the fall every
year since its inception.
Michael offers the following advice:
“Find something you are emotionally
involved in to make your living. Vision,
passion and hard work represent a
strong combination. Seek change and the
opportunities it brings. Travel, even day
trips, can expose you to new people and
ideas you would not encounter otherwise.”
He concludes by saying, “be honest and
realize business is about relationships.
Success is not just about money.”

6 BISHOP’S UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE FALL 2012
An Artist Takes Shape
R
Régine Neumann ’11
égine Neumann initially
enrolled at Bishop’s to
learn how to draw and to
sculpt. “I thought sculpture simply
entailed making figures out of clay
or carving in stone or wood,” she
recalls. Her attraction to the studio
courses led to four years of intensive
studies, including a semester at
the University of Wuppertal in
Germany, and a degree in Honours
Fine Arts Studio.
During a visit to Berlin, Régine
learned of a sculpture competition
in Italy that invited students
from European art schools and
academies to submit a sculpture
with the potential to appeal to the
senses of sight and touch. Fifty-nine
competitors from the European
Union entered the competition.
“My experience of entering – and
then winning – the competition laid
the groundwork for my present
research and practice in sculpture.”
After graduating in 2011 and
starting to sculpt full-time, she took
the opportunity to study at the Arts
Students League of New York and
also participated in several group
exhibitions.
“I liked visiting art museums,
looking at contemporary art, and
meeting other students, teachers,
artists and critics. However,
although New York, Berlin or
Milano offer great places for seeing
and studying art, I benefitted even
more from my Bishop’s education.”
Régine claims her professors
helped her discover who she is and
what art is. “For the past couple of
years, my participation in Dr. Jim
Benson’s experiential learning
projects allowed me to acquire a
solid technical and visual language
from which my personal work has
emerged. I recognize this experience
enables me to express myself in a
more nuanced and profound way.”
Régine also grew to appreciate
how much time and effort it takes
to become an artist.
“One can’t force it; one can only
prepare the conditions to allow art
to happen. From this perspective,
a few years of studying is not
sufficient.”
Régine is currently working on
pieces based on an enlargement
of a classical sculpture, one of
the experiential learning projects.
(See page 16 for a photo of Régine
sculpting the piece.)
A version that includes a head and
arms will be installed at the “The
Quebec House of Prayer,” formerly
Lennoxville’s popular Elmwood
and, before that, the residence of
Lucius Doolittle, bursar of Bishop’s
for its first 12 years of existence.
The conventional icon without the
head and arms will be installed at the
Uplands Museum in Lennoxville.
Working on these projects
inspired Régine’s latest sculpture,
How do you feel today? (left).
Her procedure consists of
an exploration of the plastic
possibilities of known or new
sculptural materials and is
informed by traditional sculpting
techniques as well as by methods
used in contemporary design
manufacturing.
Régine won first prize of $10,000
for How do you feel today? in a
national sculpture competition
organized by Kingsbrae Garden in
St. Andrews NB.
www.regineneumann.com
Top: Régine works on a new piece, the first of a series of cardboard sculptures.
How do you feel today?
Bottom: “How do you feel today? can be defined as a mixture of a concrete form
that possesses its own order, while simultaneously suggesting an abstraction from
natural phenomena. With both an internal and external form that consists in an
uninterrupted interplay of fluid planes, the sculpture suggests the existence of a
fourth or fifth dimension. My sculpture aims to provide an aesthetic experience in
which participants find themselves not only thinking but also feeling and relating.”
Finn O’Hara ’95

Toronto promoting an athletic city. Olympic

The accidental photographer
F
inn O’Hara loves happy accidents. “They’re the unknown fruit. You
can’t plan or construct them, yet they happen because you’ve opened
yourself up for them.”
One such “accident” occurred when he travelled to the UK to visit family
and to shop around his portfolio. Finn set up an interview with the photo
director of Wallpaper, a leading architecture, design, fashion, art and lifestyle
magazine. The conversation seemed pro forma; Finn left disheartened. Three
weeks later he got a call to shoot a 19-page story featuring Toronto.
The assignment remains his biggest and one that proved his capability to
produce for top tier magazines.
His father worked for Kodak when he immigrated to Ontario from England
at age two, so Finn acquired a familiarity with photography from an early
age. However, his professional inspiration came from an internship at Shift
Magazine in 1997-98.
“The magazine had a talented art department and the country’s best
photo editor. I saw how the industry worked from the inside. Friends at
the magazine encouraged me to pursue photography, so I quit my job and
started at the bottom.”
Finn began by shooting landscapes but later
discovered a joy in portraits. “Photographing people
can be intimidating. Intense. While landscape shots
unfold before you, portraits require you to get involved
with your subject.”
“You need to establish a line of trust. If my subjects
think they’re in capable hands, and believe I’ll make
them look good, more often than not I get a great
photograph.”
He likes to shoot people in their own environment,
enhancing or highlighting the natural lighting through
his strobes. He uses film as well as digital. “Film is
a slow, finite process. You commit to every frame,
getting 12 shots to a roll. On the other hand, you can
shoot digital endlessly and perhaps even faster than
photography is intended.”
Everything in Finn’s business starts from his
website, his foremost marketing tool. Several years
ago he began writing a blog as another means of
promoting his work.
He also puts the writing skills of his English degree
to use in directing for ad agencies. To get the gigs he
must write treatments of 1500 words or more that
both explain the project and reflect his personality.
Being self-taught in photography, Finn says he had a
lot to learn in the first four years. He has mastered his
art. His long list of clients include the Toronto Maple
Leafs, Nike and Sport Chek, as well as Time, ESPN
The Magazine, Toronto Life and others.
In another happy accident, Finn was assigned to
photograph Chris Jones ’96 and his father for Esquire
magazine. “Chris was my radio station manager at
Bishop’s for a year. I was thrilled to reconnect with
him after such a long time.”
As words of advice, Finn says: “Get a job you love.
Now.”

change in them.
Oil on canvas 2012,

B
orn and raised in Serbia with a
classical education in art, Nana
Veljovic decided at the beginning
of her career to cross the continents to
Canada. The year was 1993. War and
chaos in former Yugoslavia left a small
window only for a prosperous future for
her family.
“My freedom began when I settled in
Canada and divorced my husband,” says
Nana. “It was a difficult time but one
full of hopes and dreams for my young
daughter and me.”
Within a short time Nana enrolled at
Bishop’s where she earned a degree in
Honours Fine Arts Studio, winning a
prize for her evident talent as an artist.
She remembers those years as one of the
greatest periods in her life.
“I relished learning, being inspired
and developing lifelong friendships amid
amazing artists and teachers such as David
Sorensen and Margaret Lawther.’’
Just as writers express their ideas and
feelings through words, Nana takes an
empty canvas and fills it with a coded
language of colors and geometric shapes.
“My paintings are born of a great need,
that is a basic sense of survival, the need to
find a certain hope in the human condition,
a reaction to the loss and the wastefulness
that surround us in the contemporary
world,” she explains. “In a sense, my
paintings represent a personal diary.”
Memories of the war and bombing in
Serbia haunted Nana, leading to depression
and a reluctance to exhibit. At the time
she was working on a “Babylon’’ series of
paintings. An artist from Creatio Artists
Centre in Magog came to Nana’s studio
and collected her work to be exhibited.
Those paintings are now in the LotoQuébec collection.
“I contributed money from the sale of
my paintings to help families in the war
zone. The solidarity and understanding
demonstrated by fellow artists and my
friends helped me renew my hope in
humanity, love and the future despite
the darkness that blanketed me. I remain
forever grateful to them.”
Nana relates the lesson she learned:
“Even a small, good gesture in life creates
a ‘butterfly effect’ of light and happiness.
Through such acts we can make our world
a better place for all of us.”
Nana painted and exhibited throughout
those years of tribulation. Her work was
featured in different group and singleartist shows at museums and galleries,
including the Musée de Beaux-Art,
Musée du Séminaire and Horace Gallery
in Sherbrooke, as well as the Creatio in
Magog.
After 17 years in the Townships, she
moved to Toronto to be near her daughter
who is studying psychology.
Nana continues to work, paint and
follow her dreams.

Project Malawi
T
he Crossing Borders’ research cluster invites
students to participate in a research-based program
in the Kasungu region of Malawi, Africa.
Participants live in the rural village of Makupo and,
during their five-week stay, engage in creating and exploring
their research interests in conjunction with professors, peers
and members of the Makupo community.
The experience encourages students to creatively expand
their own borders of learning through a spirit of reciprocal
participation and dialogue.
In the past four years, projects have included curriculum
development, entrepreneurial initiatives, identifying
healthcare resources and instilling self-esteem in young girls.

Jessica stand
up. Why do you
think these two are
standing? asks Reza
Satchu, the smooth
talking
millionaire
who founded The
Next 36. That’s just
a typical moment in
one of the demanding
classes of the program.
Thirty-six students
from
Canadian
universities take MBA
level courses and are
assigned to teams of
four, given $30,000 in
seed capital and must Samantha Juraschka ’12
start a mobile-related with her team at The Next 36
business, all within eight months.
Students are also paired with CEO mentors. I was
fortunate to be put with Bishop’s alumnus Peter Lamantia
’88 and Jordan Banks of Facebook Canada.
The program was a roller coaster that constantly put us
in uncomfortable positions and in situations with a high
risk of failure. The philosophy: if you feel comfortable
you’re not learning.
My team created a mobile app to play along with live
sports. We launched the application, Row1Sports.com, at
a conference in Boston and then sought capital to continue
our venture once the program ended.
The Bishop’s community in the GTA proved to be
unbelievably supportive and inspiring.
Despite graduating, I am still surrounded by purple.

the Olympics in Perth in December 2011. Inset: Tyler at work.
Sailing to a dream
F
rom Lac St. Louis in Quebec to the London 2012 Olympic
Games, Tyler Bjorn ’94 has pursued his passion for sailing
– with passion.
He took up the sport as a young boy and began competing at
age 15. Tyler tried out for the Olympic teams in 1996, 2000 and
2008 but was unsuccessful. He thought his chance had passed.
In 2008 he invited Richard Clarke, a former rival and fellow
member of Canada’s national sailing team, to enter the 2009 Star
Class North American Championship together. Tyler arranged
to charter the same boat that had served him well in the earlier
Bacardi Cup that year. The two placed second in the regatta.
Sailing well together they decided to juggle a modest Star
campaign with their many other activities throughout 2010.
They posted tremendous results, including winning the 2010 Star
Western Hemisphere
in Nassau and
placing third in the
2010 Star European
Championship, the
largest regatta in the
Star Class’s history
to date.
Satisfied with
their first year of
Star sailing together,
Tyler and Richard
purchased the P2,
a fiberglass boat
“ It’s a full-time job to
get to the Olympics. It
takes money, training,
travel. Fortunately we
gained great support,
getting all we needed
to give it our best shot.
”
weighing about 1500 lbs, the second PStar ever produced. They
committed to an Olympic campaign.
The Star is one of the most prolific keelboats in the world and
has raced in every Olympics but one since 1932. Given his size,
Tyler is the crew on the Star whose job is to relay information
on wind and other competitors and perform tasks that involve
adjusting sails and countering the wind by balancing the boat.
Richard serves as the tactician and helmsman of their team.
“It’s a full-time job to get to the Olympics,” says Tyler. “It takes
money, training, travel. Fortunately we gained great support,
getting all we needed to give it our best shot.”
Tyler spent 280-300 days out of the country in each of the past
two years to train and stay competitive on the International Star
circuit. “I missed my family, but my wife has been incredibly
supportive of my dream.”
At 42 years of age Tyler is not a typical Olympic athlete. “Many
people mistook Richard and me for coaches during pre-Games
events over the past few years. They’re surprised by our age.”
“The Olympics are all about gold, silver, bronze. My partner
and I were in top form building to this competition, but we didn’t
win a medal. Still, it’s been a terrific experience at this stage in
my life.”
Sailing is in Tyler’s genetic makeup. His father competed at
Munich in 1972 and his older brother Kai ’96 at Sydney in 2000.
Tyler says watching the extinguishing of the flame at the closing
ceremonies will bring closure to his 25-year pursuit.
“I am proud to be an Olympian.”
Vision in blindness: digging
deep for meaning in life and art
A
Alex Bulmer ’88: writer, performer, theatre
maker and teacher
“Take failure on as a good
cause. You never know what
will result. At the time of
my diagnosis I could never
have envisioned creating
a spectacle to open an
Olympic event.
”
lex Bulmer ’88 insists that meaning and spectacle can co-exist. She put
her belief to the test in mounting her largest production ever: a giant
outdoor spectacle of pyrotechnics, dance, trapeze acts, naval ships and
torchbearers that was the opening ceremonies for the Olympic sailing events
off Weymouth Beach.
“Breathe was a massive collaboration involving multiple art forms and multiple
countries, different bodies and different ways of thinking about making art,”
says Alex.
A cast of 64 disabled and non-disabled people, the Breathers looked like no
cast ever seen before. In the play they are dismissed as nothing more than ‘sea
litter,’ but in fact they turn out to hold the power to set the boats to sea.
“Breathe is about community, about having passion to express joy through
art, about belonging, and about overcoming fear by believing in yourself.”
Alex spent over a year working on the production but did not see it, at least
not in the usual sense. She is legally blind.
Alex was at Bishop’s when she detected something wrong with her vision. A
mishap that occurred while fulfilling her tasks as manager of the Lady Gaiters
spurred her to fly to Toronto for testing. The doctor gave her the diagnosis: retina
pigmentosa, a degenerative condition that would steadily diminish her sight.
It all seemed surreal to the 21-year old who was studying Drama at the time.
She was told at the hospital: “no one wants to see a blind person tripping across
the stage. You should give up theatre.” So she changed her degree program.
Enter stage left, Prof. Greg Tuck (Drama) who went with Alex for a long
walk on the golf course. Appreciating her creative ability, he convinced her to
carry on in the arts. He introduced her to Prof. Jo-Jo Rideout (Drama) who
took Alex as an apprentice to the Banff School to learn voice teaching, inspiring
her to follow a new career path.
After Bishop’s Alex moved to Toronto where she pursued acting and voice
teaching, all the while tolerating confusion in her vision. In her early 30s,
however, she could no longer fight her disease and “after that I became more
disabled.”
Her transformative experience of going blind, terrifying as it was, caused
her to dig deep for meaning. Turning to writing, Alex found a new voice that
reframed how she would proceed in her life and work. Her career as a writer
began to take off.
In 2004 the Oval House Theatre in London, England presented one of Alex’s
plays. Smudge had been performed in 2000 at the Tarragon Theatre in Toronto
where it earned nominations for a Chalmers Playwriting Award and the Dora
Awards (Best New Writing and Best Production).
Alex discovered the UK offers terrific support to disabled artists. About six
years ago she was given a visa as an expert in disability arts and has lived in
London ever since.
“The British hold the view that environmental and social barriers disable you,
not your medical condition,” notes Alex. Under an “Access to Work” program,
she receives funds to employ “seeing eye persons.” With these aides ensuring she
has, to use the operative word, “access,” Alex is no longer “disabled.” That’s
a different perspective than in Canada where no funding is available for an
independent artist to hire support workers.
Alex realized one of her visions in unleashing Breathe upon an audience of
10,000 on July 28. “The audience was rapt. For the entire hour and a half.”
“Take failure on as a good cause. You never know what will result,”
recommends Alex. “At the time of my diagnosis I could never have envisioned
creating a spectacle to open an Olympic event.”

Principal’s Message
T
he respected National Survey on Student Engagement ranks Bishop’s
as Canada’s number one public university for its supportive campus
environment. But in addition to the individual attention students receive
from professors, they also benefit from the generous support of individuals far
beyond the borders of our campus.
Although the alumni, parents, faculty, staff and friends of Bishop’s listed
in this report may be separated by many miles (or even by oceans), each of
you, by giving to the Annual Fund, has made the decision to be part of the
supportive community that defi nes Bishop’s.
Your charitable support gives the University the ability to provide a
valuable scholarship and bursary program for deserving students, to expand
the resources available at our Library, and to make possible countless
artistic, athletic and extracurricular activities that enrich the Bishop’s
experience and help students pursue their passions. You also allow us to
enrich our academic programs and create innovative learning opportunities
outside of the traditional classroom.
I express my sincere thanks to each of you – for your generosity and your
belief in the value of a Bishop’s education. Your giving extends the Bishop’s
tradition of excellence in undergraduate education.
With appreciation,
Michael Goldbloom

During my time at Bishop’s, I came
to realize that fulfillment lies
not in exercising my rights
with the selfish impunity
of my generation, but in
the exciting and arduous
journey to become a
responsible, concerned
and caring human being
who pours her energy into
learning and working, with
an open mind and heart, as
part of a community.

traded the theory of my degree for practice
with the WUSC’s Student Without Borders
program.
Highlights of my first six months as a
Junior Program Officer in Sri Lanka included
travelling around the country to conduct an
analysis and report on the sustainability
of our 15 local partners, representing
WUSC-SL at UN agency meetings and

As a Tomlinson intern, I assist disabled students by
introducing computer programs and tricks to make
their studying easier.
The internship helped me financially but also led me
to a decision that my career will involve working with
people with disabilities and neurological problems.
I remain forever grateful for the opportunity.

Careers STEM from education
My B.E.S.T. Experience
Christina Dimech, 3rd year Biochemistry Major
T
Leila Ponsford, 3rd year student in a Double Major
Chemistry and Secondary Education from Ottawa ON
In England graduates in
Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) subjects earn on
average 30% more over their
lifetime than graduates from
other disciplines. Yet employers
face difficulties in recruitment.
Leila visited England to learn
about strategies to increase the
number of students in STEM
disciplines and careers.
hrough my university studies in Education and Science, I’ve
developed an interest in providing effective and interesting
science education at the high school level. My goal is to assist
students to recognize, develop and explore their interest in science,
with the hope that this interest will transform into a career ambition.
The effectiveness of science education has become increasingly
important as we continue to move towards a technologically driven
society. Recent studies indicate that a country’s economic success
depends on the size and proficiency of its science and technology work
force.
Students who study Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics
(STEM) subjects acquire analytical and problem solving abilities
that are highly attractive to potential employers. In England STEM
graduates earn on average 30% more over their lifetime than graduates
from other disciplines. Yet employers face difficulties in recruitment.
STEM organizations build on the government’s ongoing strategies for
developing a strong supply of scientists, engineers, technologists and
mathematicians.
In the spring of 2012 Bishop’s B.E.S.T. Projects Fund fi nanced my
trip to England to study the STEM programs that aim to increase
the number of students who choose to continue their study of STEM
disciplines as well as pursue careers in these fields.
Boarding the plane, I carried two and a half weeks of baggage and
the ambition that my experience would give me a wider outlook on
science education and some possible steps towards ameliorating current
educational practices.
I visited both the National STEM Centre in York and the Centre
for Science Education in Sheffield, meeting with directors, education
professors, future science educators, teachers, and students, each of
whom offered information and opinions about various science education
techniques and intervention strategies.
I found the greatest asset for science teachers in England is the plentiful
supply of resources. Vast online and paper libraries provide supplies,
activities, videos and texts. Projects such as STEM Ambassadors give
teachers access to a database of contact information for a variety of
industry professionals who will travel to local schools and teach lessons
in a variety of STEM subjects. This program not only exposes students
to highly rewarding career options but also assists in creating a link
between classroom material and real world application.
In addition, other programs such as STEM Days and STEM Clubs
have been initiated across England to allow students to work in groups
on various projects that explore science and technology in a hands-on
manner.
By the time my visit ended and I boarded the plane to return to
Canada, I brought with me a mind full of new ideas, resources and
contacts. I learned ways that can be effective in encouraging students to
consider careers in the prosperous and ever-expanding field of STEM.
My experience reinforced my goal to teach high school science as
well as sparked an aspiration to get involved in curriculum planning.
In the near future I intend to set up a STEM ambassadors link between
our regional high schools and STEM professionals within the Bishop’s
community as well as the greater Sherbrooke region.
I also plan to continue my pedagogical research through a Master’s
degree in Education and by introducing a STEM Club and STEM Day
once I become an educator myself.

At the helm: new Director
leads in time of change
I
n June, the University
welcomed a new
Director of Athletics
and Recreation, Brian
Breckles.
B et ween
1990
and 1994, Brian was
both Offensive Line
Coach and Recreation
Coordinator at Bishop’s.
“I’m thrilled to return
to Bishop’s and excited to
have been chosen to lead
the Department at a time
when important changes
are on the horizon and
many developments have
occurred on the Quebec Brian Breckles, Director of
interuniversity sports Athletics and Recreation
scene.”
Brian has a BA in Physical Education and an MBA from
Wilfrid Laurier University. He has both corporate and
academic experience. Before re-joining Bishop’s he held
the positions of Vice President of Business Development
at National Group Mortgages since 2009 and Director of
Alumni Relations at Wilfrid Laurier University for seven
years prior to his move to the private sector.
At Laurier, Brian played for the Golden Hawks football
team from 1985-89, earning All-Canadian honours two
years in a row. Drafted by the Argonauts, he instead chose to
pursue coaching, amassing 14 years in various CIS coaching
roles and winning a Vanier Cup with the 2005 Laurier
Golden Hawks.
“Brian’s passion and enthusiasm for Bishop’s combined
with his leadership and experience will drive our Department
of Athletics and Recreation to a new level,” said Jackie
Bailey ’95, Dean of Student Affairs. “Brian is committed to
providing exceptional sport and recreational opportunities
for the entire community and has both the experience and
personal drive to push our Gaiters to achieve excellence.”
The role of the Director has evolved and the current
mandate includes leading the Department just as major
renovations are set to begin at the John H. Price Sports
& Recreation Centre and the Sherbrooke 2013 Canada
Summer Games approach.

60 years later ... the spirit continues
A
very special event took place at Bishop’s in mid-June
when the classes of ’50, ’51, ’52 & ’53 celebrated the 60 th
anniversary of their graduation. Of the 114 graduates
still with us, 39 attended along with 20 spouses and guests.
The program started with a reception and lunch at the home
on campus of Principal Michael Goldbloom and his wife Fiona
Macleod. It provided a great opportunity to meet and greet.
In the afternoon, we participated in an interactive campus
tour. At the Library we learned from the Head Librarian, Bruno
Gnassi, about the steps being taken to improve the Library and
make it a place where students want to congregate and work.
At the Chapel Rev. Canon Heather Thomson talked about
the fine maintenance of the historic building and its uses by the
Bishop’s and Lennoxville communities.
We met Psychology professor Dr. Stuart McKelvie in the old
concert hall or auditorium, now Bishop Williams Hall. He told us
of the differences between being a student now and 60 years ago!
From there we visited the newly updated Chemistry Lab and
heard from Dr. Dale Wood.
The tour ended in the Music department in Bandeen Hall, which
was the dining room in our time. Dr. Ross Osmun performed
on one of the beautiful Steinway pianos…what a treat!
After the tour, Lee (Scowen) Campione ’53 hosted an Open
House at her North Hatley home.
That evening we gathered for cocktails and chatter, followed
by dinner in what was the old Common Room, now Cleghorn
Common Room. The space was beautifully decorated, and we
savoured a delicious, catered meal and a program put on by some
of the grads.
We went to a chapel service on Sunday morning, reminding us
of our days when we were expected to attend chapel several times
a week. We realized how important the chapel experience had
been in our formation. At a light lunch later, we said our farewells.
Everyone enjoyed returning to campus for a few days. We
came away feeling very grateful for the warm welcome we
received. We are convinced that Bishop’s stands apart with its
wide range of benefits for students in both their academic and
social development.
We know, as well, that through all the good changes that have
been made over the years, the spirit of 60 years ago that keeps
drawing us back continues today.
Daphne (Atchison) McMullan ’53,
Ebert “Bim” Hobbs ’51, Bruce Anderson ’51
Special thanks go to Dave McBride ’93, Matt McBrine ’96, Sarah Heath ’99 and Rev. Canon Heather Thomson.
Robert Goldberger ’79 named 2011 Alumnus of the Year
O
n behalf of the Bishop’s University Alumni Association, it is my
pleasure to present the Alumnus/na of the Year Award which
honours an alumnus or alumna who has made a long-standing
commitment and contribution to the University.
The Alumni Association Executive Committee has bestowed this award
annually since 1967 and today, it is with great pride that we add another
worthy name to the list of distinguished past recipients.
This year’s recipient is Robert Goldberger, a BBA graduate from the
class of 1979. He resides in Toronto and he is currently the Vice-President
and Investment Advisor at Macquarie Private Wealth Inc.
A generous philanthropist to Bishop’s University – as well as numerous
other charities – and a committed volunteer as Vice Chairman of the
Bishop’s University Foundation, Bob plays a leading role in the fundraising
activities which help to enrich the Bishop’s experience of today’s students.
Bob leads by example; his interests and support are wide ranging but
are focused on providing financial support to students. Two examples
include the Robert J. Goldberger Awards for Bishop’s student-athletes
and the Goldberger Global Experience Bursaries for students studying
on exchange. In addition, he provides insightful leadership and guidance
to the University’s Advancement Office whenever it’s needed. These are
just a few examples of how Bob’s actions support our institution and help
to make Bishop’s an even better university.
On behalf of the Bishop’s Alumni Association and the University, please
join me in thanking Robert Goldberger for his on-going service in support
Cathy McRae McLean ’82
of Bishop’s University and congratulating him on receiving the Alumni
President, Bishop’s University Alumni Association
Association’s most prestigious award.

Alumni Perspectives
Memories of The Campus
“Proud to be part of a long
line of dedicated editors”
Ross H. Paul ’64, CM, BA, MA, PhD
Adjunct Professor, The University of British Columbia
U
ntil I became a university president in 1991, my favourite
ever “job” was editing The Campus, the Bishop’s student
newspaper founded 68 years ago by Paul Beaudry ’46
and Fred Kaufman ’46, DCL ’76.
The first faculty adviser to the editor of The Campus was the
redoubtable J. D. Jefferis ’27, DCL ’68 , long-serving Professor
of Education and one of Bishop’s all-time orators. My own
advisor was ex-diplomat and Political Science professor, Terry
MacDermott . A former McGill Daily editor, he was ever
supportive and often regaled us with wonderful stories from his
career. He also introduced us to his son, Galt MacDermott ’62 ,
DCL ’72 , a stellar jazz musician who Terry knew would “make
it big in New York” some day – sadly, Galt’s success with his
musical, Hair, was realized a few short months after Terry died
in 1966.
My true mentor was distinguished journalist Norman Webster
’62 , DCL ’85 (The Campus editor 1961-62), who taught me how
to write succinctly and never stopped encouraging me.
We used to prepare the paper on Monday nights in a Norton
Hall basement room adjacent to the apartment of Victor Pierce,
a long-serving porter at Bishop’s. Given that we seldom put the
paper to bed until 2 a.m. and that typewriters were extremely
noisy, Mr. Pierce registered a complaint with popular Dean of
Residence, “Deaky” Dan Patridge. Consequently, we were
instructed to vacate the premises each Monday by 10 p.m.
We responded by recording a continuous loop of typing on a
hidden tape recorder attached to a long control wire that went
down the hall and around the corner. A lookout gave the signal
when the night security guard came on his rounds. Hearing
loud early morning typing from The Campus room, he started
unlocking the door, at which point hand signals passed down
the corridors led us to shut off the tape recorder.
The security guard emerged from the room, scratching his head
at what had been the source of the sound. This happened a couple
of times but on the third occasion, Deaky Dan himself appeared
and we all panicked, leaving the tape recorder on. Fortunately,
we then moved to private quarters in the new Bishop Mountain
House, thus sustaining our middle-of-the-night operations.
My proudest moment came when we did a huge photo essay
on the abysmal living conditions of the support staff who were
stuffed into hot, dingy quarters in the bowels of McGreer. It was
not well received by bursar Lyman Tomkins, who wrote a letter
to The Campus asking why concerned students didn’t contribute
money to the cause. It was a different era!
In 1964 at a Students’ Executive Council (SEC) meeting in
Bishop Williams Hall (BWH), someone (either Ken Livingstone
’65 or Michael Ondaatje) moved that the SEC of Bishop’s
University write a letter to the United Nations protesting American
involvement in Southeast Asia. From my begowned prominence on
the BWH stage, I scoffed at the idea that “little” Bishop’s would
have any impact whatsoever on the United Nations.
Besides, I noted, Carnival was only a few weeks away and no
one had organized cars for the princesses! The motion was soundly
defeated and I have been embarrassed by this memory ever since.
It doubtless lies behind my long-standing advocacy for student
activism, even when (as is the case with the current manifestations
in Quebec), I don’t always agree with their position.
I am proud to be part of a long line of dedicated editors of
The Campus. Its history, set out on the Wikipedia website, The
Campus (Lennoxville), needs considerable updating. Please
help fill in the gaps so that we have a permanent record of its
continuing legacy and the men and women who have made it
such an important part of campus life.
Picked up my bike at the repair shop. Downloaded some tunes.
My MasterCard credit card makes it easy, and helps build my credit history too.
I can get emergency cash at ATMs, and even pay over time if I need to.
Plus, my school gets a contribution for every purchase. Not bad.
