UPDATE EVENTS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LETHBRIDGE Spring 2004 - Fall 2004

U of L to Offer Five New Multidisciplinary PhD Programs Beginning in 2004

Alberta Learning recently approved a significant expansion to the U of Lʼs Special Case PhD program, to take effect in September, 2004. It will allow doctoral degrees to be granted in five new multidisciplinary areas of study: Bio-molecular Science; Biosystems and Biodiversity; Earth, Space and Physical Science; Evolution and Behaviour; and Theoretical and Computational Science.

Expanding the University of Lethbridgeʼs already successful PhD program will be a big boost to student and faculty recruitment and research funding. It will also further the Universityʼs ability to enhance research capacity in unique disciplines, according to University officials.

“Right now, the demand for researchers and faculty members at Canadian universities far exceeds the number of qualified candidates available, so we do not see any difficulty recruiting students to this program,” says U of L President Bill Cade. The new degree programs complement a PhD program in Cognitive and Behavioural Neuroscience that was approved in 2000.

School of Graduate Studies Dean Shamsul Alam says that more than 3,000 positions need to be filled each year at universities across the country — including the U of L, where all Faculties and Schools are recruiting. “Not being able to fill those positions ultimately affects our students and our research programs,” Alam says. “We also have co-operative relationships with several regional research facilities, Women Inducted into Kainaakiiksi Honour Society including the federal agriculture research centre, which we know will expand, given the approval of these new PhD programs.” Three well-known southern Alberta women were inducted into the Kainaakiiksi Womenʼs Honour Society at an event on Dec. 8 that was held in conjunction with Alberta Learning Supports Diverse Programs a major conference on leadership.

On Nov. 28, Senator Joyce Fairbairn announced that the University of Lethbridge will receive a total of $911,517 this year to help cover indirect costs associated with federally-sponsored research. Through the Indirect Costs program, the distribution of funds to individual universities will be based on their past federal research awards from the following federal university-research granting agencies: the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council, and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.

Fairbairn, who made the announcement on behalf of now-former Industry Minister Allan Rock, says, “This region looks increasingly to innovation as a source of economic growth and solutions to health and environmental challenges. This type of funding will help our universities, colleges and affiliated research institutes sustain a research environment in which excellence can thrive.”

Fine Arts Grad Albertaʼs Winner at National Invitational Student Art Competition INTELLECTUALLY Dillison Malinsky (BA ʼ01, BFA – Art ʼ03) won $1,000 and had her print placed in a major corporate art collection as the Alberta winner in the BMO Financial Groupʼs “1st Art! STIMULATING Invitational Student Art Competition.” Malinsky, a printmaker who graduated with Great Distinction, was chosen from an estimated 150 entrants across Canada. The 1st Art! Competition was started by BMO Financial Group as a vehicle to celebrate the work of student artists from more than 80 Canadian post-secondary educational institutions. Entries to the competition were determined by deans and administrators of studio art programs, who were invited to nominate the work of up to three of their graduating students. A distinguished selection committee consisting of curators, art collectors, artists and art lawyers chose the 13 winning pieces, one from every province and territory.

“It is an impressive achievement for Dillison to have her work selected and receive significant national exposure,” says Dr. Josephine Mills, Director/Curator, U of L Art Gallery. “She is certainly a young artist who deserves this award. In her studies and work for the U of L Art Gallery, Dillison stands out for her wonderful combination of intelligence, creativity and focus.”

Malinsky is known for her dedication to the labour-intensive process of printmaking. Art Professor Michael Campbell, who supported her application to the BMO competition, described Malinskyʼs piece as a quiet work requiring great skill and imagination to create.

“The work hung in the graduating student exhibition and I was drawn to it at once because it is such a quiet, strong and subtle piece,” Campbell says. “It is a remarkable print — a woodcut, consisting of off-white ink on white rag paper, which becomes an ice-like ephemeral layer floating on a microscopic layer on the bleached cotton paper.”

The BMO art collection is exhibited in its corporate and branch offices from coast-to-coast and includes the work of well known historical and contemporary Canadian masters including Marilyn Smith (BFA - Multidisciplinary ‘96) at the Southern Alberta Art Gallery. Kenojuak Ashevak, Emily Carr, Tom Forestall, Marc-Aurele Fortin, Lawren Harris and hundreds of others.

Why? Because there is legacy in leadership. We are creating a legacy that is far-reaching. Its effect will echo for generations. Leadership, it’s about spurring on economies, driving business forward, discovering new knowledge and enabling art and culture to flourish. Leadership is about building healthy and prosperous communities, facilitating forward-thinking policy, investing in people and turning challenges to opportunities.

Put another way, leaders seize opportunity and enable solutions.

Our upcoming fundraising campaign, the Legacy of Leadership, is about seizing opportunity and enabling solutions. It is about taking the lead in areas that enrich our lives, investing in ourselves, so that we can go forward healthy in body, mind and spirit and make significant contributions.

We are a university with a clear vision, and we’re on the move. Having arrived at an exciting juncture in our history, we are ready to take a major step forward. Our blueprint for the future is a Legacy of Leadership.
