14 Making it possible

A recognition of the University’s lifetime donors

and the many dedicated individuals and organizations that supported the University

this past year.

Attending university is one of the best investments a person can make.

A university education equips students with the tools, experiences and knowledge to be successful throughout their lives. Nowhere is this more true than at the University of Lethbridge.

On behalf of the 8,000 students attending the University of Lethbridge, I want to thank you, our generous supporters. With every gift you make to the U of L, you build a future for students.

For every scholarship provided, there is encouragement – a chance to pursue a dream, an idea or an academic goal.

For every bursary, there is an opportunity to focus on studying, rather than on making ends meet.

For every new building, there is an environment created that fosters learning and research.

Your gifts are truly appreciated. They better the lives of individual students, improve our society and enable the University of Lethbridge to develop life-long learners. For all this, we sincerely thank you.

Adam Vossepoel 2008/2009 Students’ Union President University of Lethbridge

Thank you

The 2008/2009 Students’ Union President, U of L Board of Governors Chair and U of L President express their most sincere thanks for your support and generosity in 2008.

On behalf of the Board of Governors at the University of Lethbridge, I want to express my appreciation for your generosity in 2008.

As I look back at 2008, one thing is very clear to me – I have many reasons to be proud to be part of the University of Lethbridge community. As a supporter of our University, I know you share this pride with me.

The board recognizes that there are many worthwhile organizations you can contribute towards, so receiving your support is truly an honour. At the University of Lethbridge, we are committed to being good stewards and using the resources we are entrusted with wisely.

While I hope you have already found this to be true, let me assure you that supporting education and research is one of the best choices you can make. It is an investment with benefits that extend for years to come. When students graduate from the U of L, they leave with the confidence to succeed in life and go on to impact their individual communities, the nation of Canada and in fact, the entire world. Your contribution to the U of L allows us to offer continued opportunities for students, programs and research.

Once again, let me extend my sincerest thanks for your vision and support.

I want to extend my most sincere thanks to you and the many other supporters who made contributions to the University this past year.

Whether you gave time, talent or treasure, or all three, you played a significant role in the success of 2008. Through donor support, we can continue to do what we do very well – foster a personal, supportive learning environment; ensure professors are inspired scholars who integrate research and creativity with teaching; and deliver relevant programs. Your support also enables us to expand our horizons, including the further development of our graduate programming and new areas of research.

In the following pages, you’ll read about some of the University’s highlights from 2008 and meet a few of the donors who made contributions this past year. Most importantly, you’ll hear the University’s heartfelt thanks expressed to you – our donors.

As we embark upon 2009, I know there are many great things in store.

Thank you for your continued support and involvement.

Robert Turner, Q.C. Chair, Board of Governors University of Lethbridge

A look back 2008 REPORT TO DONORS

Behind the University of Lethbridge stands a group of individuals and organizations committed to supporting students and furthering research.

Breaking it down: who gives to the U of L? At the University of Lethbridge, the people who give are as diverse as the areas they support.

With gifts from close to 1,200 donors, the 41st year at the University of Lethbridge proved to be truly transformational.

Here are a few highlights from 2008 that give a glimpse into the impact of your support.

Students at the centre

Currently 8,000 students from around the world call our campuses in Lethbridge, Calgary and Edmonton home. It is our commitment to provide every student with a personal and engaging learning community; opportunities to explore creativity and new thoughts; and the support to ultimately cross the stage at convocation with the confidence to succeed.

It’s a commitment shared by our donors.

In 2008, 69 per cent of the gifts made to the U of L were in support of student awards.

An evolving campus

Donor support is enabling the U of L to further develop centres of teaching and research excellence, providing opportunities for both undergraduate and graduate students that are second to none. Over the past two years, there has been $147 million worth of new construction on campus.

In the last year alone, the University celebrated the grand opening of both Turcotte Hall and the new Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building.

On Feb. 15, 2008, the University broke

ground for the greatly anticipated Markin Hall, a four-level facility that will provide access to an additional 450 students studying management and health sciences.

Construction also continues on the University’s Regional Sports Stadium and Field Complex, an $11-million project scheduled for completion in 2009.

Clockwise from top: Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building, Markin Hall, Regional Sports Stadium and Field Complex, Turcotte Hall

Moving ahead

As the University moves forward, we are maintaining our tradition of undergraduate, liberal education. At the same time, we are expanding our graduate programs and continuing to advance as a major research institution – something we saw compelling evidence of in 2008.

In September, Dr. Bruce McNaughton, one of the world’s foremost experts in neurophysiology, joined our Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience team as the inaugural Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research (AHFMR) Polaris Award recipient.

The award will ultimately be a 10-year, $20-million research grant and will enable the University to continue building one of the most pre-eminent behavioural neuroscience research groups in the world.

As a contributor to the University of Lethbridge you played a significant role in the success of the University this past year. The generosity of our donors enabled the University to leverage an additional $9 million in matching funding from the Government of Alberta’s Access to the Future Fund since its inception in 2005. This support is instrumental in ensuring that quality post-secondary education is available for all students and our gratitude extends to the province for establishing this fund.

While we look back on the last year with pride, we are also looking to the future with great anticipation. At a defining point in the history of the University of Lethbridge, the impacts of your generosity will continue to be seen for years to come. Thank you for partnering with us to further student-focused education and world-class research.

All in the family 2008 REPORT TO DONORS

Students come to the U of L from all around the world – from China to Nigeria to Bangladesh – and even before they arrive on campus, Charlene Janes takes them under her wing. In her role as an international liaison officer, Janes is known as a mom-away-from-home to more than 550 international students each year.

“In a lot of ways I do feel like they’re my kids,” Janes says with a smile. “Sometimes they just need someone to be there for them, to encourage them, to lend a shoulder to cry on.”

While it’s not your typical nine-to-five job, it’s something she loves.

“For me, it’s a real high to watch these students arrive in Canada, support them as they work through university and eventually watch them cross the stage at convocation.”

Janes’ work revolves around finding solutions for the challenges these students encounter. She is presented with almost every problem imaginable, so it’s no

surprise that the issue of finances sometimes surfaces.

“There’s a misconception out there that international students have a lot of money.

While some of them come from affluence, a lot of them do not. In many cases, an extended family has pooled their money to give one individual an opportunity to go to university,” Janes says.

However, as Janes explains, there are times when the necessary financial support is unavailable for various reasons. In such situations, Janes advises those with high grades to apply for scholarships, but says she was frustrated by the lack of funding for

When it comes to showing support, U of L faculty and staff – both past and present – are the first to step forward.

• As a U of L alumna and current academic assistant, Tracy Oosterbroek is keenly aware of how a little help can go a long way. In memory of her father, mother and brother, Tracy and her husband, Rod, established the Bob, Carolyn and Jeff Neilson Memorial Bursary in Nursing.

students who were not necessarily at the top of the academic ladder.

“What I saw was that these students ended up working a lot of hours to make ends meet, and while they were getting by, they were not really thriving.”

With a true maternal instinct, Janes felt compelled to be part of the solution.

This past spring, she established a bursary specifically for international students requiring financial aid. As it turns out, she wasn’t the only one who recognized the need – already three other individuals from her department have made contributions.

“Supporting this award has been such

a rewarding experience. These students come here because of the opportunities they believe an education will provide. It feels good to help them get one step closer to reaching their potential.”

• Dr. Gail Michener devoted her research career at the U of L to exploring the behavioural ecology of Richardson’s ground squirrels.

Following retirement, she and her husband, Dr. Dan Michener, established a post-doctoral fellowship to encourage young researchers to pursue studies in the field of terrestrial ecology.

Janes is one of the many faculty and staff members at the U of L who are personally committed to creating a supportive learning environment for all students. In 2008, 280 U of L employees made contributions towards Supporting Our Students, an annual campaign to raise money for student awards.

Striking a high note 2008 REPORT TO DONORS

Ben Heppner (DFA ‘08) cannot remember a time when music wasn’t part of his life.

“Growing up, my family was a family of singers – you couldn’t shut us up. We sang doing the dishes; we sang driving in the car; we sang at church; we even sang a little bit at school,” Heppner recalls. “From a young age, there was this irresistible draw towards music.”

Despite his deep affinity for music, Heppner never imagined he would one day be a world-renowned tenor singing in virtually every major opera house from La Scala in Milan to the Met in New York.

“Growing up in Dawson Creek, B.C., I didn’t realize that performing professionally was even a possibility,” Heppner explains.

Upon arriving at the University of British Columbia in the mid-’70s to pursue a degree in education, a teacher suggested that Heppner audition for an elite choir. Heppner misinterpreted the suggestion as a requirement, and before he realized what had happened, Heppner’s life’s ambition had changed course. Shortly after, Heppner switched his academic focus from education to music.

Following graduation in 1979, Heppner immediately went on to win the CBC Talent Competition for singers. While it didn’t automatically kick-start the success of his career (something that would happen nine years later at the Metropolitan Opera auditions), it did give him the confidence to pursue his passion.

“Winning the competition gave me the courage to say out loud, ‘I want to be a performer.’”

University of Lethbridge to support scholarships for fine arts students.

Through the generosity of the community, the sold-out concert raised $50,000 to establish an endowment that will support U of L students exploring the arts.

“Admittedly, learning is an expensive proposition, so I hope the scholarship will give students resources to study,” Heppner says. “However, I also hope the scholarship will give them the ability to think more freely about their own expressions and the encouragement to find their voice.”

Ben Heppner Today, Heppner is known internationally as one of the preeminent singers of his generation and is the recipient of three Juno Awards, two Grammy Awards and is recognized as an Officer of the Order of Canada.

Not forgetting his small-town roots, Heppner devoted a portion of the last three years to performing in smaller venues across Canada. Included in that line-up was a benefit concert for the

At the Fall 2008 Convocation, the U of L awarded Ben Heppner a Doctor of Fine Arts for his contributions to the arts.

U of L donors recognize that the arts bring the University to life and enhance the surrounding community.

• U of L alumna Mary Annis established a bursary in Studio Art that will encourage students in the pursuit of aesthetic expression and creative activity.

• David Spinks was a founding professor and the first Chair of the U of L Dramatic Arts Department. With a special interest in theatre for young audiences, David and his wife, Jo, established an award for drama students who are actively involved in the performing arts.

Building for the future 2008 REPORT TO DONORS

When Glenn and Janice Varzari first heard about the plans for the future Markin Hall, it seemed as though the building had been designed with them in mind.

Glenn is a chartered accountant and has been the owner of National Salvage for 30 years. His wife, Janice, received her bachelor of nursing and master of education from the U of L and is currently a counsellor with Lethbridge Family Services, as well as

8

a member of the U of L’s Senate. The couple was amazed to discover that Markin Hall would reflect their individual interests by uniting the Faculty of Management and the School of Health Sciences under one roof.

“As we learned about Markin Hall, our eyes just kept getting wider and wider,” Janice recalls. “With my background in nursing and Glenn’s background in management, it was sort of serendipitous – talk about a perfect fit.”

Glenn explains that when they discovered their donation of $25,000 towards Markin Hall could ultimately result in a $100,000 contribution through matching funding

Support for management and health sciences extends beyond contributions to Markin Hall to the students who will study inside.

• Thankful for the start he received at the U of L, management alumnus Cole Harris established the Edith Harris Management Bursary both to recognize his grandmother and support future leaders.

• Understanding the need for increased health-care professionals, Alberta Health Services AADAC contributed $100,000 to establish a bursary for First Nations, Inuit and Métis students in the Addictions Counselling degree program.

provided by the Chartered Accountants’ Education Foundation and the Alberta Government’s Access to the Future Fund, it was an easy decision.

“It’s was really a no-brainer for us; we had no choice but to say yes,” Glenn says.

Creating the space for an additional 450 students, Markin Hall will be one of the newest additions to campus and will enable the U of L to develop innovative approaches to research, teaching and learning. As lifelong residents of Lethbridge, both Glenn and Janice remember when the University was first built and say it’s amazing to see the evolution of the campus in just over 40 years.

“It’s neat when you drive down University Drive and see all the students flooding onto the streets,” Glenn says. “The University is such a dynamic place, and it really brings the

community together.”

While their gift is directed towards Markin Hall, Glenn and Janice really view it as a contribution to support students.

“You can’t have one without the other,” Glenn explains. “If you don’t have the bricks and mortar, it makes it very difficult to teach.”

As the walls of Markin Hall start to form, the Varzari’s look forward to seeing the facility complete in 2010.

“It’s going to be an exciting day when the building opens and students fill the halls. I think we’ll have a real sense of ownership,” Janice says. “It’s really special to give back to the community.”

“It’s going to be an exciting day when the building opens and students fill the halls.”

A simple start 2008 REPORT TO DONORS

The support the University receives from Darol and Evelyn Wigham began with a handwritten note in the early ’80s to the Dean of the Faculty of Education.

In it, Darol wrote: “My wife and I would like to make the enclosed contribution in appreciation of the excellent education that our daughter, Patricia, has received at the University of Lethbridge… We would be remiss if we failed to acknowledge our appreciation for the work of your department in educating our daughter and preparing her so well for her profession.”

That simple note began a longstanding relationship with the U of L that to date spans nearly three decades.

As life-long residents of Alberta, Darol and Evelyn both graduated from the geology program at the U of A. They moved to Calgary shortly after and later established Wigham Resources, a private, family-run oil and gas company. As the business grew, the Wigham’s were aware of their responsibility to support the community.

“We were fortunate to be raised

10

and educated in this province,” Darol explains. “We felt right from the very start of our careers that it was important to give back.”

Over the years, the Wigham’s have maintained that commitment and donated to a wide range of initiatives at the U of L, including student scholarships, the LINC building and the Wigham Family Collection of Children’s Literature. Housed in the University’s library, the collection includes 6,382 books and is used by students and professors alike.

“The U of L has done an excellent job of looking after what we’ve given,” Darol says. “Over the years they’ve been really good stewards.”

This past year, the Wigham’s made a unique contribution to the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience (CCBN). Their gift will be used to buy a nitrogen liquefier and helium re-liquefier, equipment that is necessary to more efficiently run the two magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines housed in the CCBN. The MRI units are among the most powerful in the province for research purposes and enable researchers to uncover the mysteries of the mind, ultimately opening doors to new knowledge, treatments and technologies in the future.

“The U of L has done an excellent job of looking after what we’ve given. Over the years they’ve been really good stewards.”

has many donors who demonstrate support time and time again.

• Runner’s Soul has actively supported U of L athletics since 1994. The new owners, Shawn and Erin Pinder, are continuing in that tradition. This past year, Runner’s Soul supported the track and field program, and the Pinder’s made a personal donation towards the Pronghorn Swim team.

• As a U of L alumnus Poul Mark is committed to giving back to the institution that gave him his start. Mark’s first donation to the U of L went towards building the new Library. Since that time, he has regularly made contributions to support students in need.

Partnerships make big waves 2008 REPORT TO DONORS

Water. It is the source of all life on Earth. It is an important economic resource for our province and our planet. And it is a primary focus for research at the University of Lethbridge – an area rapidly expanding thanks to partnerships with corporations like Nexen Inc. and Imperial Oil. In late September, the independent Canadian-based global energy company,

Nexen Inc., established an endowment fund at the U of L for graduate scholarships and fellowships in water research.

“We chose to create this endowment for two reasons,” says former Nexen President and CEO Charlie Fischer. “First, because we are strong supporters of post-secondary education and believe this is the key to future economic success. And second, because we believe in environmental sustainability and using resources wisely.”

Nexen’s $300,000 contribution, when matched through the Access to the Future Fund, established a $600,000 endowment that will support the U of L Nexen Fellowship in Water Research. At $30,000, it is the largest individual student award endowed at the

University. The 2008 Fellowship’s inaugural recipient was doctoral candidate Lars Brinkmann, who is currently studying under Dr. Joseph Rasmussen, a Biological Sciences professor and Canada Research Chair. For Brinkmann, having industry support for research is a move in the right direction.

“Receiving this award is such an honour, and it’s exciting because it shows that Nexen recognizes the importance of environmental research,” Brinkmann says. “In the past, I think environmental research was viewed as something that would block exploration and progress. But the reality is that environmental research should be determining how we can ensure progress and exploration of resources, while at the same time minimizing, or even

eliminating, the effects on the environment.”

Imperial Oil, a leading member of the petroleum industry, is demonstrating this same commitment to finding socially responsible solutions to water issues. Their $200,000 contribution, when matched by the Alberta Government, resulted in a $400,000 investment that is enabling a team of researchers, co-led by Board of Governors Research Chair and 2008 Killam Research Fellowship recipient Dr. Stewart Rood, to study the ecology of spring systems and establish an inventory of springs, particularly in southern Alberta. From Imperial Oil’s point of view, the research is valuable in showing how industrial activities could influence groundwater.

“We believe this research will provide insight into what steps can be taken to protect and improve this important resource,” says Steve Matthews, manager of Surplus Property Management from Imperial Oil. “We work with organizations that advance education, conservation and understanding in the areas of air, land, water and energy, and we saw this project as an excellent fit with our priorities.”

The ripple effect of the Alberta Government’s Access to the Future Fund resulted in a combined $1 million investment in water research at the U of L. These collaborations with industry and government are enabling the University to discover innovative and practical solutions to preserve our water resources for years to come.
