Setting the Bar High A law degree offers these St. Mike’s alumni a chance to contribute to a better world By Christine Arthurs (usmc 2000)

ITproud occasion when a new lawyer is “called to the bar.” The road is long in terms of the time spent in training, and it’s not always a straight- forward trajectory: people start their journey at different stages in their lives for a number of reasons, each informed by their own personal background. This is the story of three people—two lawyers and one on the cusp of a career in law—who all attended the University of St. Michael’s Col- lege at around the same time and who decided to take the path to the legal profession, but who have each had very different, and interesting, twists along the way. For each of them—as for many St. Mike’s grads—it was not simply a path to a professional career, but their way to try to make a positive contribution to the betterment of society.

Take Christopher VanBerkum (USMC 2009), for instance. “I suppose you could say I took the more scenic route getting to law school,” he says, “but I don’t regret that.” He graduated with an honours BA from St. Mike’s in 2009, but then completed two master’s degrees—one in international relations from the London School of Economics and one in history from U of T— before starting law school. “I had the chance to do lots along the way.” VanBerkum has just started the final leg of his marathon.

These first-year seminar courses introduce students to university-level studies on a small scale

The Gilson Seminar in Faith and Ideas, now in its second year, is geared to students who share an interest in faith, ideas and international experiences. Beyond their academic activities in the seminar, students can propose and participate in innovative social justice projects, and in community- and culture-building activities with fellow students. In addition to the Gilson Seminar, two new SMC One courses have been introduced for the 2018-19 academic year.

The McLuhan Seminar in Creativity and Technology is an exploration of the relationship between creativity and technology. This seminar is inspired by the innovative thinking of Marshall Adam Hincks, SJ, a USMC alumnus and Jesuit seminarian who now works McLuhan (1911-1980), who taught at St. Mike’s at the Observatory following his doctoral studies in astrophysics at Princeton. from 1946 until his death in 1980.

Samantha Ramphal, a Life Sciences student from Trinidad and Tobago, found that “the small class size allowed for interactive lectures in which everyone was encouraged to participate.” Human Biology student Brenna Veneruz from Thunder Bay, Ont., calls the Gilson Seminar the most rewarding part of her first year. “Studying abroad in Rome was such an amazing experience, and I got to experience it with some of my best friends at U of T,” she explains. “It was so interesting to be in a global classroom so to speak, as I learnt more than I ever could in a lecture hall.” Brígh Findlay-Shields, a Latin American Studies student from Millbrook, Ont., also attests to the unique learning experience. “I am now proud of being both a believer in faith and a believer in ideas,” she writes, “which prior to Professor Boyagoda I hadn’t thought was possible.” Hans Xu, a Computer Science student from Beijing, expresses his appreciation of Rome. “When you walk through a boulevard that has seen the faces of countless saints and Caesars, you may get a glimpse of how big this world really is.” Geography and Urban Studies student Natalie Barbuzzi, from Whitby, Ont., says, “The friendships I made will stay with me throughout my life, and taught me the true nature of being surrounded by the support and love of equal individuals who are always ready to push each other for more.” How better to summarize than with Bioinformatics and Computational Biology student Nicole Lim, from Singapore: “The seminar is where I have formed my closest friendships at U of T. It has given me so many precious experiences that I will cherish throughout my life.”

Bad news here, though: we found out there were dorm curfews, many 9 a.m. classes, and we sometimes had to wait for an available washer to do our laundry. We persevered. Several days each week, many of us raced across Queen’s Park (remember…only 10 minutes between classes…) to additional educational and growth opportunities. We learned from—and with—renowned U of T professors in remarkable facilities at the other U of T colleges and faculties. This combined SMC/U of T experience provided a first-class—and envi- able—education, not only in terms of subject matter, but also in stacking up our beliefs and life expectations against a much wider and deeper frame of reference. Hours spent with dear housemates, classmates from all over the world and professors initially provided and then nurtured our roots, memories and friendships. “Cross-campus” we went to a whirl of dances, basketball games, swim meets, water polo games, plays in Hart House, gym classes at the athletic buildings, hockey games and May final exams (…each three hours, remember them?) in Varsity Arena.

A new novel by David Simms (USMC 1960), titled Dennis Dunkle On the Road (and Off), was published in September by the Livingston Press at the University of West Alabama. The story follows an aging and meek librarian in his bizarre search all over the map (and beyond) for a woman he’s met online. David’s previous novel, The Stars of Axuncanny, was published in 2006 by the Livingston Press. He has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize for his poetry and has received other awards for his writing while living in Virginia, though he often fantasizes he had never left Canada.
