I began my journey on September 20, 2002. I’ll never forget the anxious feeling I had as I nervously waited for my flight to be announced in the Toronto Airport, and then in the Vancouver Airport. I remember thinking to myself, “There is no turning back now.” Like thousands of other young Canadians, I had decided to embark on a year-long journey to teach English in Japan.

Even though Japan is one of the world’s strongest modern economic powers, it still manages to hold on to its unique culture through its people. This combination of strength, power and tradition is what attracted me to the Japanese way of life. I had serious doubts about my decision when I arrived in Nagoya International Airport. ”What am I doing here?” I thought to myself. “How can I last an entire year in a country where people use squat toilets, chopsticks, and eat raw unidentifiable fish and meat?” Those doubts never really disappeared. Japan is culture- shock intensified. The contradictions never stop.

A little touch of Cuba warmed many hearts at Fanshawe Fanshawe’s Cuban Experience Gala fundraiser on February 7 was an incredible success as the first floor of A Building was transformed into a Cuban oasis. The evening’s décor, entertainment and fantastic culinary delights were guided by a dedicated gala committee and created through the outstanding work of hundreds of students and college staff. The Gala Committee was ably led by Dale Dolson, co-ordinator of the Tourism and Hospitality Studies program at Fanshawe. Among the 220 guests at the gala were many well-known community leaders, alumni and supporters, including London Mayor Anne Marie DeCicco. Gala ticket sales were handled by a very capable team which included alumni Lina Bowden, Anne Sheridan, David Wyatt and Sue McKittrick. Theresa VanderHoeven took the lead in organizing the silent auction which featured student work and services available at the college. There was also a fun casino and live entertainment. A highlight of the evening was the draw for the door prize by Bell representative, Kathy Parker. The lucky winner of the trip for two to Cuba, supplied by Uniglobe Travel, was none other than Fanshawe Alumni Board volunteer, Randy Dafoe. In addition to an extraordinary dinner prepared by the staff and students of the Culinary Management and Food and Beverage programs, there were many hands which made light work when it came to putting together such a superb gala. We thank the staff and students from the following areas for making it all happen: Fashion Design, Fashion Merchandising, Interior Decorating, Horticulture Technician, Corporate Communications and Public Relations, Theatre Arts, Concierge, Hotel Management, Broadcast Television and Photography. Proceeds from the gala have gone towards student bursaries at Fanshawe College, and will be matched one-to-one by the provincial government’s Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund II (OSOTF II).

The pair have created a unique line of clothing that sports all things Canadian – from deer heads and beavers to maple leaves and Mounties – and they’re finding that students, in particular, are eager to don the duds. Their plan is to

Page 18 Fanshawe Alumni News Spring 2004 A career built on learning and listening

Matthew Churchill (Financial Services 02) gives credit to both Fanshawe’s Business Studies Program and to the model set by his entrepreneurial parents when he considers how well his career started out. When he saw how his parents dealt with clients in their business, he learned the importance of listening and that it is true: no one likes anything better than an attentive audience. So it’s not surprising that now, in his own client meetings, Matthew spends 80% of his time listening quietly. Ten percent of the time, he asks questions about clients’ lives, their dreams, their priorities and even their fears. Only then does he talk business. Matthew Churchill To Matthew, being a financial planner is more than just selling. It’s discovering the Financial Services 02 best opportunities and easing the occasional despondency that comes from unfortunate situations. It’s about helping clients discover their goals in life, personally and financially, and protecting what’s important to them. Most often, he’s a trusted confidante and educator, rather than a salesperson, and he’s quick to credit his experiences at Fanshawe for setting him in the right direction. “Fanshawe’s technical, practical education laid the strongest foundation to build on,” says Matthew. “I graduated with honours and a full-time job, thanks to a co-op I landed at Lewkowitz Financial. I’m happy to say this is still my place of work, and my ongoing classroom, with new lessons daily.” At 23, he earned his Certified Financial Planner designation, and is a strong proponent of accreditation, a measure of high commitment to ethics and excellence. Education is important to him, not only as a starting point, but a lifelong pursuit. He spends a great deal of time educating his clients so they fully understand their situation and what they need for financial security and to achieve their goals. While his career is just starting out, Matthew knows how to leverage learning by listening, and he says he can hardly wait for tomorrow to see what else is out there to discover. Matthew can be reached at 1.800.668.6141.

Page 19 Fanshawe Alumni News Spring 2004 catching up with London Campus

Recent changes at the London campus focus on student life and making room to meet needs of technology programs. A new residence opened in the fall of 2003, construction of a new student centre is underway and further expansion of academic space is planned for B building to include a new technology wing facing Oxford Street, replacing B Gymnasium.

Alumni Office Alumni Association president David Wyatt (below at right) and vice president Randy Dafoe look on as Bernice Hull, Vice- President, Planning and Administration, Fanshawe College cuts the ribbon to officially open the new Alumni Office D1043 early in December. Relocated from the top floor of A building to the intersection of buildings D, E, and F (across from Tim Hortons), the office is now at the heart of the college and much easier to find. The goal of relocating was to increase awareness within the college community and we are already seeing a dramatic rise in the number of alumni who drop in to make address changes, pick up PERKS cards or just say hello. We thank the Alumni Association board of directors, specifically past president Jordan Hobbs, David Wyatt and Wendy Curtis, Manager, International, Alumni and Partnerships and also Bernice Hull and other members of the college administration for making the relocation of the office possible.

Page 20 Fanshawe Alumni News Spring 2004 Student Centre The new 4000 sq ft student centre will provide much needed additional student life space. Scheduled for completion by fall 2004, the facility will house a 300-seat dining hall, food services, meeting and club rooms, student administrative offices, health services and the Fowler Kennedy Sport Medicine clinic. The present student union building (SUB) will continue to be used for student recreation and leisure activities but will also house a variety of new retail services.

Residence The two student residences on campus provide accommodation for a total of 792 students during the school year. In the summer the residences are available as an alternative to hotel accommodations to alumni visiting the London area.
