WHAT IS A CHAIR? A Chair is a critical tool in the University’s ability to attract, support and retain 4 senior faculty teachers and researchers. It is a pool of capital that is invested to grow over time, with an annual allocation from income used to help pay for the 4 incumbent’s research, graduate students, protected research time, and often part Multi-million dollar software donation of the salary in the individual. benefits Earth Sciences students

A Chair holder is someone of great distinction, the best in their field, who brings leadership, knowledge and expertise to the University. They are the driving force behind the research and academic work within their area, contributing to the betterment of society while raising Western’s reputation as a globally-recognized destination. These individuals are technology 10 creators, economy builders, society servers, and health researchers. 10 Holiday greetings and thank you from The 1878 Societies Honorary Chair 2 DONATION FROM THE HEART BRINGS HOPE INNOVATIVE INSTITUTE AT WESTERN HELPS FOR BRAIN RESEARCH POSSIBILITIES ANSWER THE TOUGH QUESTIONS

“SCIENCE EMPOWERS US. THE HUMANITIES TEACH US TO USE THAT POWER WISELY,” SAYS CANADIAN BUSINESS HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE AND WESTERN ALUMNUS, JOSEPH ROTMAN (BA’57).

The more successful Rotman became in business, the more he felt he was falling back on the principles and disciplines of critical thinking he learned in philosophy at Western. This led him to make a $4-million donation to Western in 2008, creating the Rotman Institute of Philosophy.

“I am convinced we have the opportunity at Western to do something unique,” says Rotman. “We can have significant impact by helping define the scope of the problems that society faces because of the rapid changes in science and technology, as well as to ensure we advance questions that are not being asked. We must look at science and technology through the lens of philosophy.”

While the Rotman Institute officially opened in October, faculty, staff and students have Dr. Cecil and Linda Rorabeck been busy building momentum for the last two years. THE RORABECKS HAVE BEEN MAKING QUIET BUT GENEROUS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THEIR COMMUNITY FOR MANY YEARS – THROUGH PHILANTHROPY, VOLUNTEER A key early step was the establishment of an International Advisory Committee comprised of some of the world’s leading scientists and philosophers. In July of this year,

He admits it may seem odd that an orthopaedic surgeon would support neuroscience and vascular biology, but with neurodegenerative disease affecting some family members, the connection is clear.

“We’re not under any illusions that we’re going to solve Alzheimer’s disease in the next six months or answer all the questions about stroke or MS, but I think the technology is such that with enough funding and expertise, there is a possibility of certainly making some inroads.”

HIS WESTERN EDUCATION OPENED DOORS FOR HIM, AND NOW HE’S OPENING DOORS FOR OTHERS.

This year, Kevin Comeau (LLB’82) added another $25,000 donation to continue supporting the Kevin J. Comeau Continuing Scholarship he created in the Faculty of Law in 2003. This new gift brings his total giving to almost $200,000.

Comeau says his time at Western taught him two things: how much he didn’t know, and to Kevin Comeau and his daughter, Chloe, swimming with a dolphin in Bermuda. question what he did know. And so began his life adventure to find and pursue his passions. In 2006, Comeau found himself back in Bermuda with Karenmary and their daughter Chloe After graduation he first worked as a lawyer in Canada for several years. He recalls his fellow and started to question whether his time could be put to better use. He had spent years as a lawyers as smart and hard-working, often pulling all-nighters and working weekends. But lawyer finding problems, assessing risks and developing plans to minimize or eliminate those after a Bermudan vacation where he met young professionals who played golf, tennis, or risks.

In 1989 he moved to Bermuda where he enjoyed a decade of work at a law firm, and embraced life outside the office. Then, at the age of 41, he retired. “An old Western friend of mine, Jim Harrison, once told me you should only work where you think you can add value. That advice has helped me discover the pleasure of working on “I’m often asked why I retired so young, when I had only enough money to pay the bills but something I’m passionate about.” not much more. I loved my job, and I could have earned much more money if I had continued to work. My answer: I simply did as my philosophy professor taught me that first week at Comeau is also passionate about helping Western law students. He is one of Western’s many Western. I questioned everything, even a great job. Some people are motivated by money international donors who feel compelled to give back to their university. and others, by power. I’m motivated by time. I don’t know how many years, months or days I have left on earth, but I want to live them to the fullest.” “Who’s to know if our donations will allow some young woman to forgo her part-time job to concentrate on her schoolwork, which allows her to get into medical school? Who’s to know if During his first years of retirement, Comeau did just that. He moved to France to study French; our donations will allow a young man to be the first in his family to work with his mind instead learned to play guitar; and eventually pursued a masters in fine art in creative writing at the of his hands? I don’t know what effect my donations will eventually have, but I do know that University of Nevada in Las Vegas where he met the love of his life, Karenmary. by giving to Western, something positive will happen somewhere, to someone.”

WESTERN EARTH SCIENCES STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO LEADING EDUCATORS AND NOW STATE-OF-THE-ART SOFTWARE THAT WILL GIVE THEM THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO THRIVE WHEN THEY GRADUATE.

Thanks to a US$6.2-million donation from Roxar Software Solutions, Western’s future resource geoscientists have access to 3-D visualization software that is as much of a breakthrough for geotechnical exploration as MRI is for diagnostic medicine. This will allow students to gain insight into the evolution of the planet as well as the practical application of finding and assessing petroleum and natural gas deposits.

“Three-dimensional visualization is essential for geologists to properly analyze and describe the spatial distribution of rock attributes such as rock types, thickness, extent, porosity, and so forth,” says Burns Cheadle, Bell Chair in Petroleum Geology at Western.

GRACE AND LILLIAN BAKER MEDICAL RESEARCH FUND

SISTERS GRACE AND LILLIAN BAKER WERE BOTH TEACHERS WHO SHARED AS OF OCTOBER 31, 2010 A LIFELONG PASSION FOR EDUCATION. CAMPAIGN PROGRESS 2010/2011

Through their estate gift to Foundation Western, the Grace and Lillian Baker Medical Research Fund has been established in the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry. This unrestricted endowed fund will generate approximately $40,000 a year in perpetuity to support medical research, at the Dean’s discretion.

Kathy Coleman, second cousin to the sisters, whose grandfather was the brother of Grace and Lillian’s mother, says she remembers the sisters as loving and gentle women, who both had a thirst for knowledge and a keen interest in reading, nature and politics. Grace Baker Neither sister married or had children. They saw their young relatives and students as their children. Their modest lifestyle allowed them to contribute to several organizations over the years, including Western. Lillian passed away in 1999 at 88, while Grace continued to live in their London home until shortly before her death in 2008, at 91. Lillian Baker

Grace and Lillian did not share why they decided to give to medical research. The family surmises it was because the sisters suffered the loss of their father at an early age, and mourned the death of a young brother, and wanted to keep others from this experience. They also might have thought because dentistry was a part of the school, they were honouring their two uncles who were dentists.

“Higher education is revered in our family, so Grace and Lillian’s support of Western is extremely appropriate,” Coleman says. “They both believed that supporting the younger generation was vital to improving society.”
