Professor Drain is currently a faculty member with the Department of English at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She has established a reputation as a professor dedicated to excellence in teaching and encouraging excellence in others. Most recently, she was named a 2006 3M Teaching Fellow, a first for Mount Saint Vincent University. Previously, she has been recognized with the 2002 Mount Saint Vincent’s University Award for Instructional Leadership in the field of writing, and the 2003 Association of Atlantic Universities Instructional Leadership Award. Professor Drain says she is enjoying her role at Mount Saint Vincent University because “it’s a great place for a feminist and its values are similar to those of Trent University – small classes, lots of contact between faculty and students. It’s a good fit.”
Professor Susan Drain
“Trent made me. It gave me a chance to reinvent myself from my high school person. I was supported in everything I tried at Trent, both academically and in theatre. The support I received from faculty and others at Trent opened doors for me and created new opportunities not considered before. Trent set me on my career,” says Professor Susan Drain ’68, one of 19 of Trent’s most accomplished alumni recognized earlier this year at an historic ceremony held at the University. “It was a wonderful experience and I was absolutely delighted,” says Professor Drain. “It confirmed and acknowledged a tie I felt I had to Trent, it was nice to have Trent say we feel good about you, and it was an honour to be in the company of other distinguished alumni.” She says the occasion was particularly special thanks to the generous support of Clearsight Wealth Management, which enabled “almost my entire family” to participate. Susan’s parents, sister (also a Trent alumna), and niece (a future Trent graduate), were all present to see her receive a Distinguished Alumni Award. The Distinguished Alumni Award is presented on the basis of a Trent graduate’s achievement and leadership in their respective field. All 19 recipients have shown leadership in business, industry, a profession, or in public life. They have also brought honour to Trent
Professor Drain continues to be a regular contributor to Trent, participating in the Monthly Giving Program. She chooses to make a regular, monthly contribution because, she says, “I don’t notice it and when I do, I feel good about it.”

She encourages other alumni to contribute to Trent as well. “A small, monthly donation adds up over the years. The degree of alumni support a university receives makes it look good. It helps not only for alumni to say nice things about the university, but also to back it up with financial support. It’s an opportunity to demonstrate gratitude for one’s blessings and offer a good experience to the people who come after you.”
