Mount Allison University--The Record (Winter 2010 (Part 4 of 4))

University | 29

The largest campaign in our history, JUMP MountAllison, is helping our university extend its aspiration ofproviding a world-class undergraduate education —where a challenging curriculum intersects with mean-ingful hands-on learning experiences.

To date, Mount Allison’s generous supporters havepledged more than $73 million toward our $86-milliongoal. And our committed donors are as varied as theprojects they support.

There are dedicated alumni such as Michael Gibbons(’93) who makes a donation every year to enable agroup of fourth-year Commerce students to travel toToronto. There, he and others in the investment bank-ing industry give of their time by showing students howto be successful on Bay Street.

Our Science students are enjoying the benefits of reno-vated teaching and learning spaces in the BarclayChemistry and Biochemistry Building, thanks to thefederal and provincial governments’ $4.3-millionKnowledge Infrastructure Program (KIP) investment inMount Allison.

All students will benefit from the repairs and upgradesthat will soon take place as the result of a $2.25-millioninvestment in the University’s Athletic Centre. InJanuary, the Government of Canada committed $750thousand to the project as part of its RecreationalInfrastructure Canada (RInC) program — funds thatwill result in improvements to the pool and other recre-ational facilities. The stimulus funding is being providedthrough ACOA and covers a third of the total projectedcost of the project. Mount Allison will cover the remain-ing $1.5 million.

Friends, too, are central to providing our students withthe kind of experiences that will ensure their successesafter graduation. Dr. Nanciellen Davis recently estab-lished a scholarship for students pursuing a Bachelor ofScience in Aviation, the University’s newest degree inpartnership with the Moncton Flight College, in mem-ory of her late husband. The Ross Stanway EntranceScholarship honours a man who spent nearly 40 yearsteaching philosophy at Mount Allison. Dr. Stanway’sother passion was flying, and he spent decades helpingto shape the vision and direction of the Moncton FlyingClub (now the Moncton Flight College). He wasPresident of the Board when he passed away in 1999.

As a former student, staff or faculty member, or friend,you know the value of a Mount Allison education. Youcan help our students in 2010 by contributing to anexisting endowment, such as the Ross StanwayEntrance Scholarship, or by establishing your own.

Mount Allison takes great pridein its academic and programexcellence and student-cen-

tered approach to education. Ourscience programs live up to thatstandard by offering our studentspremier, hands-on research oppor-tunities. In fact, approximately 40percent of our science students aredirectly involved in research projectswith real world implications, a figurethat exceeds that of many of ourcompetitors.

Mount Allison students annuallyorganize a forum to share theirresearch at a peer-reviewed SummerUndergraduate Research Fair (SURF),encompassing campus-wide disci-plines. The presentations and postersthis year were top notch. Beyondcampus, our science students regularlypresent their work at regional,

national, and international confer-ences, earning an impressive numberof “best paper” prizes in the process.

Faculty members are constantlyrenewing our curriculum and imple-menting new initiatives like the addi-tion of a Minor in GIS (GeographicInformation Systems) and our BSc inAviation, as well as an evolvedEnvironmental Science program andthe expansion of our Biochemistryprogram, which has doubled in sizeover the past three years.

Mount Allison also delivers high-quality international experiences. Forexample, Dr. Khashayar Ghandi(Chemistry/Biochemistry) has takenundergraduate students to Japan for aconference. Dr. David Hornidge(Physics) regularly takes undergradu-ate students to Germany to conduct

research. And these are just a coupleof examples.

We strive to give our students aneducation that will serve them wellwherever they go and whatever theydo. Our science graduates go on toexciting and innovative endeavoursboth in the professional and post-graduate worlds, as evidenced in thisissue of the Record.

I am proud to represent our sciencedepartments and programs. We areamong the best in the country —and we are not about to rest on ourlaurels.

Dr. Jeff OllerheadDean of Science


A superior scientific approach


Engaging with leaders has always fascinated me. Throughout my career, I have

gone one on one with business, cultural, political, and world leaders and to that list

I add another; Mount Allison University — an institution that continues to set the

standard for undergraduate teaching and research.

Nestled along the banks of the Tantramar marshes, in scenic Sackville, New

Brunswick, Mount Allison is a place that attracts and cultivates leaders from all walks

of life. The stately campus is home to a community engaged in

creative and intellectual pursuits that nurture unique

talents and interests, a process vital for self-

discovery and self-fulfillment.

I have always been driven by an

insatiable curiosity that has pushed me

to keep asking questions. It has taken

me to faraway places and put me in

front of some of the most interesting

and influential people on the planet

and I have learned from each

interaction. This rich diversity of

experience has defined who

I am and Mount Allison’s

unique mission offers the same

opportunity to its community.

I am honoured to accept the

appointment of Chancellor

for this truly great university

and am proud to call

myself an Allisonian.
