Sc ie nce rocks: A ne w bursary for fe male st ud ents
When Ann (Crooks) Pituley graduated from King’s in 1957 with a BSc in geology, she was part of a “rare breed.” Female geologists were not abundant in the 1950s. Degree in hand, she went to work for a mining company in northern Quebec. “I was very fortunate—indeed blessed,” she says, “to find a job which entailed actual work ‘in the field’ as opposed to being confined to an office, as other young women geologists of the time were,” she says. “I have been very encouraged to see more women venture into this formerly male-dominated field of science.”
Ann married an engineer, Lawrence Pituley, who also worked for the mining company, and they had three children. Even when she opted to leave work when her children were small, she maintained her great interest in mining and geology. It is this enthusiasm—and an abiding fondness for her alma mater—that led Ann, now retired in Abbotsford, BC, to create an endowed annual award. The Ann M. Crooks Bursary is for a third-year female student who is enrolled at King’s and majoring in a ‘hard’ science (chemistry, physics, biology, geology, or computer science) at Dalhousie University. The first award from the endowment income, valued at approximately $1300, will be awarded in 2013. The award is getting a jump start this year, thanks to an additional gift. “Ann and Larry are a remarkable couple,” says director of Advancement Adriane Abbott . “Ann is a role model and an inspiration. King’s is grateful for her vision and her gift, which will help to encourage another generation of female trail-blazers in science.”
