    Department of Chemistry 2015 Newsletter June 2015, Issue 1

    Department of Chemistry 2015 Newsletter June 2015, Issue 1 A Message from the Head Why a newsletter? This is (to my knowledge) a first for our department, and long overdue. There is so much going on in our department year after year, it should be celebrated publicly, and not just in a 140-character tweet. This newsletter can't capture every moment of the past year, but should give anyone an idea of the kind of department we have built. I hope this snapshot of Chemistry in 2014-15 holds interest for all of our extended chemical family; everyone from prospective students, to current department members, to retirees and alumni from the days when Thorvaldson and Spinks were professors, not buildings. If you have read any of the pages on our website on the history of the department you will know Dr. David Palmer that Chemistry has been one of the strengths of the University of Saskatchewan from its earliest Head of Department days. We are carrying on that tradition, as we have gone through two reviews of programs in the past two years and been assessed as providing an outstanding learning and research environment for faculty, trainees and students. The TransformUs prioritization process, though controversial, correctly pointed to Chemistry as having one of the top sets of programs on campus. This year's Graduate Program Review also found our department to be a thriving research and training enterprise. As a result, we have won the right to expand our faculty and staff complements for the first time in many years.

From the wonderful Refuge Canada exhibition, to the many programs that welcomed thousands to the Museum, to acting as a platform for youth education, we are truly touching hearts and minds across the Nation. We are, of course, a museum of stories and it is our privilege and honour to celebrate the story of Canadian immigration and the individual stories of immigrants to Canada. Part of that celebration is the important process of finding, collecting and archiving those stories. Moreover, we make them available for our visitors in a way that will allow them to find sparks of connection and inspiration as they encounter these stories in the Museum. Thanks to our dedicated supporters, we are able to continue this vital undertaking, bringing Canada’s immigration story to light and life through our programs and interpretations of the stories we gather.
