  • MOUTHPIECE the Unofficial Voice of SHTC
    MOUTHPIECE The unofficial voice of SHTC Our own sweet gain... JACQUES O’SULLIVAN!! If the School of Hospitality, Tourism & Culture (SHTC) started collecting advertising fees, then Coke would be the FIRST Corporation to contribute - all thanks to Jacques O’Sullivan! If you are curious about the connection between ‘Jacques’ and ‘O’Sullivan’ (how often do you come across a French and an Irish name together), we’d like to solve the mystery, he was born in Montreal and so the French name ‘Jacques’. Jacques first started teaching at Centennial College in 1986 and became a Full-time Professor in 1988. Few people know that his broth- er Sean O’Sullivan was Canada’s youngest Member of Parliament (MP). The name O’Sullivan still carries tremendous weight after all these years. After Sean quit politics, many political parties approached Jacques to represent his constituency in Parliament. Centennial College gained big time (one of his favourite expressions) when Jacques chose a career in academics instead of politics. In addition to managing a full teaching load, Jacques has always dedicated his time and efforts towards student success and student satisfaction. In fact, he took this on so seriously early on in his teaching career that first thing every Monday morning, Jacques and fellow faculty Diarmuid O’Connor would meet with Gary Robinson (Ex-Chair) to discuss issues relating to life within and outside of the classroom. So much so, they became extremely dedicated to these meetings and started team teaching. Classes were split up into ‘dyads and triads’, and this technique of teaching was extremely successful.

    Research Board Minutes Date: January 27, 2021 Time: 10:00 am – 12:00 pm Place: Google Meets Attendees: K. Atkinson, B. Chang, C. Davidson, A. Eamer, G. Edwards, S. Forrester, J. Freeman, L. Jacobs (Chair), M. Lemonde, S. Rahnamayan, L. Roy, V. Sharpe (secretary), A. Slane Guest(s): Regrets: 1. Approval of the agenda Approved by consensus. 2. Approval of previous meeting’s minutes Approved by consensus. 3. Report of the Vice President Research & Innovation Canada Research Chairs - L. Jacobs shared that both our CRC applications have been approved. He thanked Laura Rendl, Jenn Freeman and the Dean’s offices in FBIT and FEAS as well as individual faculty members for the immense work that went into the applications. There is currently an embargo on releasing the names of the CRCs but we are able to share internally that the FEAS Tier 1 is starting May 1 and the FBIT Tier 2 is starting on June 1. Many people have made significant moves to get them involved in the university research enterprise already. The Tier 1 is already integrated into a number of diverse initiatives including our partnership with the University of Miami. We have plans to get the Tier 2 involved in a number of projects such as project arrow and cybersecurity initiatives. It would be ideal to have them ready to hit the ground running when they start at the university. ACTION: If you have ideas about where they might fit in with your research or your faculty’s research reach out to L. Jacobs and he can connect you.

  • Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation
    Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation CONII PROJECT CONII is a three-year project funded by the Ontario government. It is a network of ten Ontario Colleges that was formed in November, 2006, to advance the commercialization of applied research in partnership with industry. Seneca is the lead college and the other colleges are Algonquin, Centennial, Conestoga, Fanshawe, George Brown, Humber, Niagara, Sheridan and St. Clair. Each college represents an industry sector node. Centennial and George Brown jointly form the Health and Life Sciences sector node. Commercialization of applied research or technology transfer is gaining increasing support from both federal and provincial governments and private sector funders such as venture capitalists. Recognition is also growing among businesses that would like to market launch their products and services as quickly as possible and achieve profitability. CONII is especially well positioned to partner with industry in joint commercialization projects because the colleges have always responded to industry needs and their research has always aimed for practical outcomes. The potential for innovation is especially strong for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and again, the SME segment is where the colleges are perceived as highly approachable and therefore engage most successfully. OBJECTIVES The short term objectives of CONII are to provide seed funding for Proof of Principle (POP) projects, jointly executed by an SME business and a CONII college. Typically the funding per project would be $10,000 and the duration would be 12 months or less. Each CONII college plans to engage in two POP projects per year. OUTCOMES A concrete deliverable is expected to result from a POP project, which would lead to further development towards a commercially successful deliverable.

    McEwen School of Architecture Laurentian University Architecture Program Report for Initial Accreditation Submitted: September 15, 2020 MSoA Revised: December 3, 2020 Acknowledgments The McEwen School of Architecture acknowledges the Robinson-Huron Treaty of 1850 and recognizes that our School in Downtown Sudbury and the Laurentian University campus are located on the traditional lands of the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek. The City of Greater Sudbury also includes the traditional lands of Wahnapitae First Nation. We are truly honoured to have been able to work with so many inspiring Indigenous communities, partners, and colleagues throughout Northeastern Ontario since the School opened in 2013. Miigwech. This report has been compiled from a collective effort over many years, by a committed group of faculty, staff, students, university administrators and colleagues, as well as community members, who have played pivotal roles in the founding of not only a new school of architecture, but one that challenges the way we think about architectural education in relation to our Northern Ontario context. Many people from the School and the University have contributed to this report. I would like to offer special gratitude to our Administrative Assistants, Victoria Dominico and Tina Cyr, for devoting their time to this effort. Our Founding Director, Dr. Terrance Galvin, has provided invaluable guidance and devoted significant energy into the accreditation process since the School’s inception, and this report is no exception.
