Western’s Campaign Chair, Geoff Beattie (left), recognized lead donors Christian Lassonde and Kelly Meighen at the public launch of the University’s $500-million
campaign. The launch took place at the official opening of Western’s first “green” building, the Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Pavilion on October 3, 2009.

WESTERN USHERS IN A NEW ERA OF ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY
The new Claudette MacKay-Lassonde
Pavilion will provide a living lab where
students forge the next generation of
solutions for a sustainable future. This
first LEED (Leadership in Energy and
Environmental Design) certified building at
Western, officially opened its doors during
Homecoming celebrations in October.
The $22-million, 45,000 square-foot
building in the Faculty of Engineering
houses research on green technologies,
processes and materials. The building itself
features advanced sustainable construction
technologies and methodologies.
Western President Amit Chakma said the
university’s new state-of-the-art teaching
and research facility will be a benefit not
only to engineering students, but the entire
campus and beyond.
“It will no doubt be the birthplace of many
new ideas, discoveries and innovations,
advancing our notion of a cleaner planet
and a green place to live,” said Chakma.
A unique area of the building to be studied
will be the green roof, which is covered with
seven species of drought-resistant sedum, a
hardy garden plant. The soil and plants
insulate the building for sound, along with
increasing efficiency with cooling and
heating throughout the year. A wind
turbine and solar panels are also located
on the roof to generate electricity for the
building.
The Claudette MacKay-Lassonde Pavilion is
named for the late mother to Engineering
alumnus Christian Lassonde (BESc’98). The
Lassonde Family Foundation donated
$5 million to support the building project.
The T.R. Meighen Family Foundation also
supported this important building project
with a gift of $1 million. An atrium in the
pavilion is named in honour of Richard
Dillon, who became the first Dean of
Engineering at Western in 1960 and was
also the first Deputy Minister of Energy in
Ontario’s history. Dillon is the late father of
alumna and member of the Board of
Governors, Kelly Meighen (BA’71).

Chair, Geoff Beattie (LLB’84), to officially
launch the public phase of Western’s
current $500-million campaign.
Beattie noted he hopes to inspire those
influenced by the university, whether
they are alumni or members of the
community, to give back to the
institution.
“At the end of the day nothing is going
to make people feel better than
being involved in a project that will
make a difference in the school

IVEY FAMILY DONATION HIGHLIGHTS GROUNDBREAKING
FOR NEW BUSINESS SCHOOL
During the groundbreaking for a new
$100-million building to house the
Richard Ivey School of Business, the Ivey
family made a surprise announcement of
a new $8.5-million donation to the school.
School of Business. “The building supports
the School’s strategy and cements Ivey’s
position as one of the preeminent
business schools in the world.”
The Ivey family’s long-standing
Richard M. (Dick) Ivey, along with his
sister and children, are topping up their
$6.5-million commitment made in 2007,
bringing the total donation to $15 million.
The Ivey family gift is comprised of
$5 million to support the new building;
$3 million to establish a unique program
that matches unrestricted endowed gifts;
$1-million endowment to support
initiatives in corporate social responsibility;
$1.5 million directed to the Lawrence G.
Tapp Chair in Leadership; and $4.5 million
as a bequest from Dick Ivey.
“As a thought-leader in sustainability, we
are proud that our new home will be as
environmentally friendly and energy
efficient as possible, and we are extremely
grateful to the Ivey family for helping us
meet this high standard,” says Carol
Stephenson, Dean of the Richard Ivey
commitment to the Ivey Business School
now exceeds $28 million. The family’s
support and involvement in Western is
one of the most significant relationships
between a family and a Canadian
university.
“ The Ivey family has been incredibly
generous and consistent in their support
for Western and for our Richard Ivey School
of Business,” says Western President Amit
Chakma. “This donation, like others from
the family, will have an enormous impact
on our ability to ensure that Western
remains a leader in research and education.”
For Dick Ivey, the ability to give once again
to the business school is something he
deems important.
“ We are delighted to contribute to this
project and to enhance the experience of
Ivey students,” says Ivey, adding his father
(Richard G.) would have “been thrilled to
see the success of the school today”.
Also announcing financial contributions at
the ceremony were Ivey graduates Jon
Love (HBA’76) and Arkadi Kuhlmann
(BA’71, MBA’72), who donated $2 million
and $1 million respectively.
To date, $82.7 million of the new building’s
$100-million goal has been reached, with
the federal and provincial governments
each contributing $25 million in
infrastructure support, Western
committing $22.5 million and the Ivey
fundraising campaign already bringing in
$10.2 million of its $27.5-million target.
The 234,000-square-foot, three-storey
facility, designed by Hariri Pontarini
Architects of Toronto, is scheduled to be
completed by March 2011. The new
building will be located on the west side
of Western Road in front of Brescia
University College, allowing the school to
expand its undergraduate and graduate
programs.
Through the creation of the first Arthur
Labatt Family Nursing Research Chair in
Human Resource Optimization, the Associate
Director of Nursing Research at Western will
address issues surrounding the chronic
shortage of registered nurses in Canada and
the United States.
The $2-million research chair is part of a
$10-million gift from Arthur and Sonia Labatt
announced last year.
A study by the Canadian Nurses Association
found the country will be short 78,000
registered nurses (RNs) within two years, and
the number is expected to grow to 113,000
by 2016. Ontario is currently in need of an
additional 14,000 RNs.
Laschinger will lead a broad research agenda
examining issues related to the education
and retention of nurses and factors that
contribute to their success in a variety of
health care settings, and support related
teaching initiatives.
“ The chair will extend my ongoing research,
which for 15 years has examined how best
to empower nurses for excellence in
professional practice in work environments
that promote the health of both nurses and
their patients,” says Laschinger.
Her research will focus on the causes and
consequences of the current professional
nursing workforce shortage, with a view to
optimizing health human resources in
nursing to ensure high quality health care.
THANK YOU TO MEMBERS OF THE 1878 SOCIETIES
It was a pleasure to attend this year’s 1878 Societies Brunch at the Royal Ontario Museum and
meet so many of Western’s generous supporters. This year’s brunch took place just days after I
was installed as Western’s 10th President and I was honoured to address the University’s closest
friends who are the cornerstone of our success.
In 1956, former Western President Edward Hall challenged us to set our course on becoming
Canada’s greatest university. I am inspired by Hall’s vision. Together, we will continue to build
on Western’s reputation for providing Canada’s best student experience, and set a new course
on becoming one of the world’s greatest universities. Western is educating the global leaders
and citizens of tomorrow – alumni who will make a difference in our community, our country
and around the world.
I look forward to many more opportunities to meet with you and hear about your experiences
at Western and the many projects and funds that you support here at the University.
Until then, please accept my best wishes for the holiday season and a happy new year!
Sincerely,
Amit Chakma
Western’s Annual 1878 Societies Brunch this year was held at the Royal Ontario
Museum in Toronto on October 25, 2009. New donors to the Societies are recognized

CHU FAMILY CREATES CAMPUS HOME FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS STUDENT ENGAGEMENT
AND SERVICE IS
ENHANCED BY RBC
DONATION
Western students will have more opportunities
and support to serve the community, thanks to
a $2-million donation from RBC Foundation.
Photo by Paul Mayne
Western President, Amit Chakma, officially opened the new Dr. David S. H. Chu International Student Centre in Western’s newly opened
Student Services Building.
Western officially opened the Dr. David
S. H. Chu International Student Centre
October 16, a new hub at the heart of
campus that will bring students together
from around the world to share ideas,
culture and inspiration.
Made possible by a $2-million donation
from the Dr. David S.H. Chu Family of
Hong Kong, the new centre opens its
doors just as Western sets its sights
on increasing international student
enrolment under the leadership of its
new president, Amit Chakma.
Chakma delivered remarks at the special
event dressed in a beaded leather jacket
presented to him earlier in the day during
a First Nations sunrise ceremony
celebrating the grand opening of
Western’s new Student Services Building
in which the Chu International Student
Centre is located.
“This wonderful facility is another great
example of the transformative power of
philanthropy,” said Chakma. “The Chu
Family’s generosity will help Western
educate global citizens and leaders for
generations to come.”
David Chu, and his son, Western alumnus
Ken Chu (BA’96, LLD’07), are co-founders
of the Hong Kong based Mission Hills
Group – the world’s largest golf complex.
Though the Chus were unable to attend
the student centre’s opening, Ken shared
remarks on behalf of his family that were
delivered by Chakma.
“It is an honour for me and my family to
establish a platform where students at
Western can gather, exchange ideas,
and share a common international
perspective,” wrote Ken. “Western gave
me the skills and knowledge I needed to
succeed in business globally, and with the
establishment of the Chu International
Centre, this is my opportunity to help
make a difference for students from
around the world, at the Western campus.”
The Dr. David S. H. Chu Family gift is also
creating a number of academic awards
and a public administration program in
China. The new program is a non-credit
enrichment experience for students at
selected Chinese universities and for local
government officials. The series of
lectures, workshops and visits to Canada
will be developed and delivered by
Western professors from the Local
Government Program of the Department
of Political Science in Western’s Faculty of
Social Science.
Professor Andrew Sancton, who oversees
the new program, says Chinese public
administration scholars want their
students to know how things are done in
Canada. “We’ve found the Chinese have a
great interest in Canadian best practices
and policies, and to offer this level of
programming is a tremendous
opportunity for international outreach
and collaboration.”
Chen Feng, a visiting scholar from Xiamen
University who is completing her PhD in
public administration at Western, was also
present at the International Student
Centre opening.
“We have already had great success with
community service learning at Western, and are
now ready to expand and develop this approach
in new ways,” says Western’s President Amit
Chakma. “This wonderful gift from RBC to
Western makes a difference by inspiring
community engagement and a global outlook
among our students, and by providing direct
benefit to the organizations they serve. As our
world changes, Western students will be there,
helping to lead that change.”
“At RBC, we believe we have a responsibility to
cultivate future leaders with a strong sense of
social responsibility” says Dave McKay, Group
Head, Canadian Banking, RBC. “We are confident
that our donation to The University of Western
Ontario will ensure that thousands of students
continue to support local non-profit and
charitable organizations.”
“Students have a phenomenal desire to
contribute to their communities. Service
learning promotes academic excellence, and
gives them real-world experiences that promote
personal and professional growth,” says Ivey
Dean Carol Stephenson.
“The Chu family are great people, great
visionaries,” said Feng. “They think about
more than themselves. They think about
the society, the country and the world.”
RBC provides personal and commercial banking,
wealth management services, insurance,
investment banking, and transaction processing
services on a global basis. As one of Canada’s
largest corporate donors, RBC supports a broad
range of community initiatives. In 2008, RBC
contributed more than $99 million to
community causes worldwide.

ALZHEIMER SOCIETY SUPPORTS NEUROLOGY
RESEARCH AT SCHULICH
NEW CAMPAIGN WEBSITE HIGHLIGHTS THE
DIFFERENCE PHILANTHROPY MAKES
Alzheimer’s disease, the most common
form of dementia, is a progressive,
degenerative disease of the brain that
causes thinking and memory to become
seriously impaired. The result is changes in
abilities and/or behaviour that, once lost,
have not been recoverable. New research,
however, is suggesting that some
relearning may be possible.
A new website has launched to help raise the profile of Western’s $500-million
fundraising campaign. The new interactive site features short videos and other
information about fundraising priorities for each faculty and school. It also serves as a
source of news and information on campaign progress.
That’s why gifts like the $100,000 made to
Western by the Alzheimer Society London
and Middlesex make a difference.
Finger, a neurological expert, plans to
further her research in frontotemporal
dementia (FTD), a disorder characterized
by mid-life onset of severe dysfunction in
social behaviour and insight. FTD is a
devastating, progressive disease for which
there is no available cure, and arguably,
very few effective symptomatic treatments.
The central hypothesis of Finger’s research
is that administration of oxytocin will
improve emotional and social cognitive
deficits in patients with FTD, resulting in
improved decision-making and behaviour.
The local Alzheimer Society announced
that Dr. Elizabeth Finger, an assistant
professor in Clinical Neurological Sciences
at the Schulich School of Medicine &
Dentistry and a neurologist at London
Health Sciences Centre, is the recipient of
the Marion and Chester Fish Research
Grant. Worth up to $25,000 per year for
three years, the grant supports researchers
who address biomedical, psychological,
and/or social aspects of Alzheimer’s
disease and related dementias.
Two Alzheimer Society London and
Middlesex Graduate Awards, totaling
$25,000, have also been created. They will
be granted to graduate students who are
conducting research related to Alzheimer’s
disease in the Faculty of Social Science,
Faculty of Health Sciences, Faculty of
Science or the Schulich School of Medicine
& Dentistry (including Neuroscience). This
year’s recipients are Jordan Epstein from
the Faculty of Science and Andrea Lischka
from the Faculty of Health Sciences.

In conjunction with the new website, a national print advertising campaign is also now
appearing in Maclean’s, Canadian Business, EnRoute, Report on Business, Financial Post,
and Chatelaine.
“First and foremost, this is an awareness campaign designed to highlight Western’s
academic strengths and some of the remarkable stories emerging from our campus,”
says Acting Vice-President (External), Helen Connell. “We’re aiming to capture people’s
attention with some provocative questions and compelling images that illustrate how
Western is challenging conventional thinking and making a difference on a number
of fronts.
“Together with the ad campaign, the new website is a key part of a broader
communications strategy to illustrate how philanthropy is making a difference in
the world through its support of Western teaching and research,” adds Connell.
