Alma Matters Fall/Winter 2007 Alma Matters Fall/Winter 2007 Welcome home! Marianopolis donors step up to the challenge Open House 2007 shatters all records Françoise Boisvert ’58 CND addresses the University Years Alumnae at a gathering M e s s a g e G e n e r a l ’ s D i r e c t o r this past spring. In 2003, when the Board of Directors... first announced that a move was in the best interests of the Marianopolis community, the reality of this project seemed so far away. When the planning began in earnest, we all felt that this day would never come. After the Groundbreaking in 2005, we followed the construction process with anticipation. The arrival of thousands of empty boxes in April 2007 finally drove home the message to even the most skeptical among us: we would be moving! In the end, over 10,000 boxes were moved from 3880 Côte-des-Neiges. During a four-week period, truckloads of furniture, books, computers and equipment were transported to 4873 Westmount Avenue. None of this could have been possible without the superhuman efforts of every single member of our Marianopolis family, and for this, I express my sincerest gratitude. I would also like to thank the Alumni Association for organizing a wonderful party and BBQ to help us say goodbye to our home of 32 years. Their hard work produced a touching and memorable event that will not soon be forgotten. The dust has settled, the boxes are mostly unpacked, classes are underway, and the students and faculty seem very happy with their new home, and are beginning to fill the building with the energy and life that makes Marianopolis such a joyful place. Although we’ve moved, the work is not yet finished. Our Capital Campaign Cabinet of alumni, parents, faculty and staff have been working very hard since the start of the planning process to ensure that the College is well-supported throughout this momentous undertaking. Their hard work is helping build the future of Marianopolis and for this, we are all very thankful. In order to keep a Marianopolis education affordable and accessible, we must be diligent about pulling together to reach our ten-million-dollar goal. If you are already involved in the Moving hearts and minds campaign, tell a friend about us! If you have not yet made a donation to the campaign, please help us achieve excellence in our new home! This year is a special year of thanksgiving, for just as a ship crossing a wide sea, we are thankful to have made it to our new world intact and ready to face new challenges. This move to the “new” campus is really a homecoming for Marianopolis as we once held classes here from 1926-1943. May this holiday season find you and your loved ones in a joyful place of your own, and please try to find time to drop by and visit our new home. The address might have changed, but you will be pleased to see that the faces have remained the same, and we are still very much the Marianopolis you remember!

H3Y 1X9 Our new campus is O n C a m p u s a bright, spacious home filled with excitement and life!! A fine beginning... This past September, Marianopolis welcomed the community to 4873 Westmount Avenue with a special inauguration ceremony and housewarming party. On Thursday, September 6th, a ceremonial gathering was presided over by Michael Sendbuehler as Master of Ceremonies, and words of welcome were shared by Board Chair Mary Liistro Hébert, Director General Françoise Boisvert’58 CND and Student Congress representatives Kyle Burrows ’08, and Chloe Cavaliere ’08. To open the official ceremony, Michael Sendbuehler, who is currently Chair of the Liberal and Creative Arts program, shared these thoughts with our special guests: “The word inauguration is derived from the old French augur, to portend, to give promise to. When things augur well, we are glad indeed. History is filled with accounts of celebrations and ceremonies meant to provide auspicious starts to our endeavours and labours. Whether at a ribbon cutting, watching a bottle of champagne smash over the bow of the ocean liner or by witnessing the hammering in the last spike, participants in the inauguration include the guests. They lend their presence to a fine beginning.” Our guests, including dignitaries from the federal and municipal governments, enjoyed tours of the building following the opening ceremony. On Saturday, September 8th, Marianopolis opened its doors to the local community and welcomed the neighbours from Westmount and NDG, as well as alumni, faculty, staff and their families to a Housewarming Party held on campus. Self-guided tours, face painting and games for all ages made for a festive day. First Impressions By Richard Adams Dr. Richard Adams has been teaching English and Humanities at Marianopolis since 1975 and over the years has introduced countless students to the joys of poetry, the values of the sixties and the challenge of The Heart of Darkness. He hopes that his former students all remember what the OK sign possibly means. Drop by the new campus for a visit! “I recently gave my sister and brother-in law, who live nearby, a tour of the school. They were very familiar with the outside courts and lawn, as this huge complex of schools and hospitals is one their favourite strolling places. Their main response to Marianopolis arriving here was how great it was to see some life and vitality - the students frolicking on the front lawn, as the place had seemed so dead and they were afraid for the fate of this beautiful and prime spot. I have the same response to seeing the students out front and am reminded of Ezra Pound's famous and enigmatic poem "In a Station of the Metro" which he wrote after seeing a sea of colourful schoolchildren on the platform of the otherwise dreary Paris Metro: In a Station of the Metro The apparition of these faces in the crowd: Petals on a wet, black bough. Not that I'm comparing Marianopolis to "a wet, black bough"- in fact it's a beautiful, sparkling building; but the kids out front are "petals": a brilliant burst of energy bringing this stunning campus back to life.” Alma Matters Fall/Winter 2007 Mary Liistro Hébert, Anick Michel’85 2 Sister FrançoiseFrançoise and her Boisvert ’58 CND, children, and the Hon.

Saint-Hilaire,Saint-Hilaire, Québec, in 2006. at Open House 2007 Faculty News Jeffrey Rudolph CA, Social Science Commerce, has been teaching accounting and auditing courses for over 20 years and recently had an article published in the Wiley Ledger. (The Wiley Ledger is a John Wiley & Sons publication intended for accounting educators.) In the article, Jeffrey addressed the challenge of teaching accounting students that net income isn't an objective amount but the result of considerable judgment and estimation. The Wiley Ledger, working from one of Jeffrey's suggestions, is experimenting with providing a means by which accounting instructors can share assignments. Anne Jeannet,Physical Education, was part of the Canadian National team that competed in the 2007 World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Australia. Anne is an experienced athlete who most recently represented Canada at the 2007 World Dragon Boat Racing Championships in Sydney, Australia. She returned from these Championships with three gold medals and maintained her world champion status in dragon boat racing. Congratulations Anne!

  • Living Campus Case Support
    Reconnecting people, community and Nature CASE FOR SUPPORT © Rosalia Cerro © Samuel Trudelle-Gendron COVER PHOTO: As a student at Dawson, Emilie Usher was a caretaker of the Ecological Peace Garden, member of the student-driven Green Earth Club and helped maintain the rooftop bee colonies. She is now employed maintaining urban honey bee colonies and enjoys educating society about these fascinating creatures. Reconnecting people, community and Nature* * The word Nature was introduced in the 12th century in reference to all of the living and non-living things in the [email protected] universe. A capital “N” was used out of respect and admiration. During the industrial revolution, as humans began advancing the economy through the depletion of Nature’s resources, the word came to be spelled with a lower case “n”, suggesting a reduced status in the collective world view. Living Campus is restoring its status with a capital letter. 1 DAWSON COLLEGE Dawson College is located in the heart of downtown Montreal in a historic build- ing on 12 acres of green space occupying an entire city block. The College’s student population numbers approximately 10,000, with day and evening students enrolled in more than 50 fields of study. It is the largest college (CEGEP) in the province and one of the most attractive, modern and well-equipped colleges in the country. We are a microcosm of the world with many languages, ethnic backgrounds, cultures and religions. Dawson College moved to the former Mother House of the Congrégation de Notre-Dame in 1988, consolidating all its facilities under one roof.
