Spring Virtual Graduation 2021 Celebration Special Edition May 28, 2021

Message from the President

To say that I am proud of the class of 2021 would be an understatement.

This has been an academic term like no other. The entire university community – myself included – has been inspired by the resilience, leadership and compassion shown by our May graduates in the face of unprecedented challenges.

Your experience at Saint Mary’s has prepared you well for this moment. You have met people from all over the world, broadening your perspectives and intercultural understanding. Your professors have helped you study the past to change the future and solve problems using innovation and creativity. You have grown, personally and intellectually, and developed the skills to help you succeed, no matter what path you choose to pursue.

This special edition Graduation Celebration program will be a reminder for years to come that the Class of 2021 did not stumble in the face of adversity but instead stepped forward with courage and determination.

As you begin this new chapter in your lives, with lessons learned and eyes to the future, please know that you are, and always will be, a part of the Santamarian community.

Congratulations on your achievements! I can’t wait to see what your future holds.

Robert Summerby-Murray, PhD President and Vice-Chancellor University MOTTO

Age Quod Agis means to ‘do what you do.’ This phrase exhorts us to focus on our work, to be in the moment and devote our fullest attention to the task at hand. It is a call for dedication, a focus on duty and perseverance, a statement of process. It is a proclamation of the importance of disciplining ourselves to our studies, to our scientific, artistic, cultural, commercial and Age athletic pursuits. It is a call to action to act in the world, to shoulder responsibility, to champion social Quod justice, environmental justice and ethical values. Agis Degrees and Diplomas

Morgan Burnard is from Nova Scotia’s . In 2017, she graduated from Horton High School and began Bachelor of Science her journey at Saint Mary’s University. During her time at Saint Mary’s, Morgan has completed an Honours Degree in English and a Minor in History. In addition, she is recognized on the 2020-2021 Saint Mary’s Dean’s List.

At the age of five, Morgan’s passion for English began and her dreams to obtain an English Degree quickly followed. Morgan’s most prominent literary influence is Lucy Maud Montgomery for her poetic recognition of the ordinary. Morgan is also significantly influenced by Bruce Springsteen for his wisdom and devotion to understanding the stories that surround and fill us with purpose. Borrowed from Rory Gilmore, Morgan’s philosophy is “what she tackles, she conquers”. This philosophy applies to her Valedictorian speech which is entitled, “The Steps of a Saint Mary’s Graduate”.

Morgan thanks her parents, Arnold and Lorraine, for their support and teaching her that a dream is as possible as your dedication to work for it. Her sister, Margaret, resides in memories but remains as an elemental presence in Morgan’s life. Morgan is also gracious to Dr. Alexander MacLeod, a Saint Mary’s professor who has especially encouraged her writing and academic pursuits.

The English Department at Saint Mary’s has furthered Morgan’s passion for English and has inspired her to continue her education. Morgan has been accepted into the English Graduate Program at Memorial University for the Fall of 2021.

Jean Helms Mills

Dr. Helms Mills returned to Saint Mary’s in 2003, after six years at Acadia and Mount Allison Universities, having previously had part time and term positions in the Management Department. During her time at Saint Mary’s, she taught over 6,500 students, including teaching on the PhD in Management Program from 2005-2019. She has supervised seven PhD students to successful completion and continues to supervise three students.

Jean’s research is in the areas of gender and historiography and she is one of the leading contributors to the development of critical sensemaking theory. She has an extensive track record of publications, including ten books, edited collections, peer reviewed articles and chapters in edited collections. In October 2014, she was awarded the President’s Award for Research Excellence at Saint Mary’s University, the first woman in the Business School to receive the award and only the second in the university, at that time.

She has served as the Co-Chair of the Academy of Management’s Critical Management Studies Division, and held various roles in both The Administrative Sciences Association of Canada and The Atlantic Schools of Business. Currently Jean is Co-editor of the journal Qualitative Research in Organizations and Management and past Associate Editor of Gender, Work and Organization.

In addition to invited talks and international teaching in Georgia, Lithuania, Sweden, Vietnam, Austria and Finland, Jean has been a Guest Professorship in Management and Leadership at Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics (2018-2021). She was appointed as an International Reader at The Swedish School of Social Science at the University of Helsinki (2017 - 2020) and became a Guest Professor in 2020. In addition Jean is a Docent at both the Jyväskylä University School of Business and Economics and the University of Eastern Finland.

Prior to her academic career, Jean worked for 17 years with Air Canada. As such, much of her research is focussed on studying airlines, their cultures and employment practices for women. 2021 Graduates BACHELOR OF COMMERCE
