Dr. Stephen McClatchie
The
tempo is
picking up
around Huron
University
College as I write this note. I have
just returned from a tour of the newly
renovated dining facilities and am
very excited by what Brown’s Dining
Services has been able to accomplish
this summer. While a full replacement
of the “1990s Food Court” seating won’t
happen until next summer, Brown’s
has added new, comfortable chairs and
tables. Some new walls, a fresh paint
job, and improved layout—plus the
great food that I’ve managed to taste
so far—all bodes well for an increase
in student satisfaction with dining at
Huron.
For all of us at Huron, the student
experience is absolutely central to what
we do. As I talk with current students
on campus and meet with alumni
across the country, I am struck by the
commonality of the Huron experience.
It doesn’t matter whether you graduated
in the 1950s or the 2010s, there is
something about the Huron “way” of
engaging students, of challenging them,
of supporting them, and of connecting
them with each other and the wider
world that we all share and of which we
can be proud.
I am sure that the 150th Anniversary
year in 2013 will always be a highlight
of my time as Principal. Alumni
receptions across the country and in
the United States. An outstanding
academic-lecture series and a
conference that explored the historical
and cultural context of Huron’s
founding generation. Six Convocations
at which ten honorary Doctor of
Divinity degrees were awarded.
A community open house and an
outstanding Founder’s Day dinner
in the Great Hall of our illustrious
offspring, Western University. And
last, but certainly not least, a special
Anniversary Campaign that raised
almost $3.5 million, well over our
goal! All of these things and more
will remain with me for a long time.
We hope that you enjoyed the book of
Huron Memories that was distributed
last year; if you would like additional
copies, please just let us know.
Universities are always in a state of
change and Huron is no exception.
Last year, we said farewell to longtime faculty members Doug Leighton,
Peter Hyland, Dermot McCarthy, and
Keiko Hirooka as well as our Executive
Director, University Advancement,
Ken Andrews. They will all be missed.
We are excited, however, to welcome
new probationary faculty members in
English, History, and Global Studies
as well as Meaghan Blight, Executive
Director, University Advancement.
The fall is my favourite time of year.
It is wonderful to have the students
back on campus, our faculty back in the
classroom doing what they love and do
so well, and the regular academic work
of the university well underway. I look
forward to mentoring receptions in
Toronto and London this year as well as
alumni receptions around the country.
Homecoming was early this year (19-21
September) and it was a pleasure to see
so many of you attend.
Regular contact with alumni and
friends is one of the best parts of being
Principal of Huron. Please feel free to
be in touch with me at any time—and if
you find yourself in London, please do
drop by!

2014 Huron Medal of Distinction Recipient:
Supreme Court Chief Justice
Beverley McLachlin
Seize opportunities. Grow.
Explore new worlds. Learn.
Fight for equality.
T
hese were the nuggets of
wisdom Huron’s Class of
2014 heard from Supreme
Court Chief Justice Beverley
McLachlin at June’s Ceremony of
Graduands held in the Kingsmill
Room.
Chief Justice McLachlin was this
year’s recipient of Huron’s Medal
of Distinction. The Medal, given
to distinguished individuals in
recognition of their exemplary lifetime
contributions to scholarship, public
service and local community, is awarded
annually.
The very first woman to be appointed
Chief Justice of Canada, Chief Justice

Lynne Leitch, Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin, Principal Stephen McClatchie, Dr. Mark
Blagrave and Moustafa Ezz.
McLachlin said that as a child she
had no inkling she would ever wish to
become a lawyer, let alone Chief Justice,
but that she did so by choosing to learn
and grow.
“Life is the messy and unpredictable
business of growing, of perpetual
becoming. We grow, we ‘become’, by
seizing new opportunities,” she said.
During not only her career, but
also her schooling, Chief Justice
McLachlin said she often found herself
in challenging situations being one of
very few women in the legal profession.
“It was a new and alien world,” she
shared with students. “And like all
new experiences with new worlds,
while it was uncomfortable – highly
uncomfortable for a time – it turned
out to be one of the most profound and
positive learning experiences of my life.”
Learning, she stated, is instrumental
for everyone and valuable in more ways
than one.
“Education is capital too – capital
that has the capacity to lift people up
and over barriers and lead them to
better, more equal lives. I salute Huron
University College for its important
contribution to equality. You are in
the education business. But like the
institution I serve, the courts, you are
also in the equality business.”
Chief Justice Beverley McLachlin
is the longest sitting Chief Justice
in history after being appointed on
January 7, 2000.
Dr. Peter Hyland and Dr. Douglas
Leighton Bid Huron Adieu
By: Meg Pirie
This year, Huron says goodbye to four members of the Faculty of Arts and Social Science: Dr. Peter
Hyland, Dr. Douglas Leighton, Dr. Dermot McCarthy and Professor Keiko Hirooka. Together, these
educators have more than 125 years of service at Huron and it goes without saying that they will be
missed. Dr. Hyland and Dr. Leighton shared insights and memories from their time at Huron.
Dr. Peter Hyland
Dr. Peter Hyland returned to Canada
in 1987 after 13 years teaching in
various parts of Asia. “I had a Senior
Fellowship for the year at the Centre
for Reformation and Renaissance
Studies at the University of Toronto,
but no real job, and there were not
many around,” he says. “So, when I
was offered the position at Huron
in the English Department, I was
delighted.” Although Dr. Hyland has been a part
of the Huron community for almost
30 years, he plans on continuing his
research in retirement. “I’m currently
working on non-canonical plays from
the Tudor and Early Stuart periods
(what is often inaccurately labelled “the
Age of Shakespeare”), he says. “My
most recent book was on disguise in
the early modern stage, and it led me to
read a lot of plays that few people have
read. There are hundreds of plays that
have been completely marginalized for
at least the past century, and a simple
statistical approach suggests that there
must be amongst them some that are
unfairly neglected. I suppose now I’m
retired I’ll be able to look on it as an
improbable hobby.”
In fact, Dr. Hyland has a book
contract for this project, which he
anticipates will demand ample time.
Along with this ongoing academic
work, he describes additional plans with
characteristic humour.
“I’ve enrolled in an art class so
that I can demonstrate that
I have no talent. I’m in an
exercise program that allows
me to show that I’m fitter
than people twenty years older
than me. I intend to travel as
much as possible. But for the
immediate future I intend
to spend a lot of time in my
garden reading, with a glass of
something red close to hand.
Which no doubt contradicts
my first plan.”
When it comes to what he will miss
about Huron, Dr. Hyland is quick
to identify the close-knit learning
environment. “I suppose every teacher
would answer this question in the
same way. It was the smallness and
consequent intimacy of the place, and
the smallness of classes that allowed for
teachers and students genuinely to get
to know each other.”

Dr. Douglas Leighton
Dr. Douglas Leighton arrived at Huron
in 1972, not as an instructor, but a
student. “I decided to study Theology at
Huron,” he remembers. “I was already
cooking a PhD.”
“It was just a natural fit; it was
like the old cliché ‘died and
gone to heaven.’ I walked in
here and I immediately felt
at home. When I started
teaching, I thought, this is
where I’m meant to be and
this is what I’m meant to do.
The job has been a continual
delight that’s lasted for 42 years.
Teaching is like oxygen for me.
This is home.”
During his four plus decades here,
Dr. Leighton’s courses, like The
History of the Automobile, have
become perennial favourites. In terms
of changes, he has witnessed the
expansion of buildings, the construction
of new residences, and the addition
of faculty and staff. In addition, the
“During that year, my predecessor John
Hodge Henderson would, from time
to time, ask me to do a lecture in his
classes. At the end of that academic
year, he passed away suddenly. The
result of that was that I was asked to
cover some of John’s courses. So in
1973 I started to teach, but kept doing
my Theology courses, as well. Catharine
Ridley waved her magic wand and
my teaching was all in the morning
and my Theology classes were in the
afternoons.”

student body has doubled during this
time.
“One of the great things was the
department I became a part of, known
then as ‘The Fab Five.’ (The other
members of the department were
Colin Read, Jack Blocker, Gary Owens,
and Bob Gellately). They were all so
welcoming, but we got along terrifically,
in spite of our many differences. We
liked our students, we were committed
to teaching, and we respected each
other. To be in that department wasn’t
always easy, but it was wonderful.”
In terms of ‘what’s next,’ Dr.
Leighton is quick to admit that he has
not considered this prospect at length.
“It will be good to pursue a number
of research projects that have been
marinating for many years. So research,
reading, and writing will be part of it.
And I’m coming back next year to teach
one course, so it’s a slow retreat.”
Dr. Teresa Hubel wins FASS
Teaching Award
By: Meg Pirie
This year at Huron’s annual
Celebration of Graduands,
Dr. Teresa Hubel, Chair of
the English Department, was
honoured for her contributions
to teaching.
“I was awarded the Huron Excellence
in Teaching Award,” she says. “You
could be nominated by anybody—
colleagues or students—but there has
to be letters from both students and
colleagues. I had two students, at the
busiest time of year, who asked me if
they could nominate me. I couldn’t
believe they were trying to do this
when they were trying to get their
essays done, too. I was so moved and
so touched that they would want to
do this; that alone would have been
enough.”
Before coming to Huron, Dr. Hubel
worked in journalism. “I worked at a
little paper in Gananoque and I was
trained in small town journalism, back
when that was a thriving industry.
I liked feature writing, but after two
years I knew this wasn’t for me.”
She applied to Queen’s University
to study English and was accepted.
“When I sat in that first English
class, I just felt like I never wanted to
leave,” Dr. Hubel says. In fourth year,
a professor told her about SSHRC
and that funding was available for
graduate studies. In between her BA
and graduate studies, Dr. Hubel spent
a formative year abroad. After receiving
a Commonwealth Scholarship, she
spent a year studying Bharatanatyam, a
classical dance of India.
“With any sort of classical dance,
to do it well, you really have to start
when you’re a child and I began at 21,”
she says. “But, it opened the door to
literature and history and just radically
changed my life. That led to my
research in post-colonial studies, with a
specialty in Indian dance.”
For Dr. Hubel, teaching at the
undergraduate level is a privilege.
“I love the research and I love the
teaching; it’s a constant challenge but
it’s rewarding, too. We have faculty
who are absolutely committed to being
good teachers. If you have really high
expectations, if you ask students to do
stuff that requires them to go outside of
their comfort zone, they usually do that
and they produce brilliant work.”
It’s this catharsis that accompanies
broadening conceptions that speaks to
one of the best parts of teaching for
Dr. Hubel. “When your students have
not only lived up to your expectations,
but exceeded them, so you’re jawdroppingly astonished by what they
have done; that’s a wonderful moment.
You like to think you might have been
part of it, but then I think they just
came that way and you gave them space
so they could show that.”
That said, the potential for
transformation in this classroom
dialogue exists for students, as well as
instructors. “You may have taught a
particular lecture again and again but
then somebody says something that
makes you see it in a different way.
Everybody is talking with one another;
they’re arguing, they’re laughing, people
are walking away with an emotional
reaction and when there’s emotion, it’s
memorable. The times I remember most
as a student were when I felt alienated,
or angry, or in love with something,
or I found something funny. You can’t
always make it happen, but I love those
discussions.”
For Dr. Hubel, good teaching often
involves moments of discomfort when
perceptions and practices taken for
granted as the ‘way it is,’ are questioned.
“If you can just take students, in their
four years here, shake them up a bit
and make them realize that the world
is complicated, then that’s the objective
of undergraduate education,” she
says. “The best position is a position
of humility. You have to think about
yourself as part of a larger group.”

The decision to come to Huron was
simple. I was looking for the right
fit, the right culture, and the right
university. Huron is all these things
and more. When I was offered the
position of Executive Director, I didn’t
think twice but jumped at the chance
to belong to, and become a member of,
the Huron family.
During my short time here, I’m
seeing first-hand the incredible
advancement and stewardship program
which my predecessor, Ken Andrews,
had implemented and which I will do
my best to build upon. I’m experiencing
the vision and leadership of Principal
Stephen McClatchie, the hard work
of the Executive Board, Corporation,
Foundation and Alumni Association
and the dedication of the advancement
team.
After graduating with a Bachelor’s
degree in Political Science from
McMaster University, my husband and
I moved to Calgary where I started
my career in philanthropy. I have held
various roles within the nonprofit
sector such as Campaign Manager for
the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society,
Resource Development Manager for
an affordable housing organization,
and most recently, working at the
University of Calgary as the Director
of Development in the Faculty of
Veterinary Medicine.
After having our son, Jake, in 2012,
we started talking about the possibility
of moving back home to Ontario.
While my husband, Kyle, and I wished
to move, we only wanted to do so for
the absolute right reasons: not only
coming home to Ontario to be closer to
our families, but also finding the right
opportunity and next step in my career.
It was quickly evident that the
natural next step was coming to Huron,
which has far exceeded any expectations
I had. Ken Andrews has left a lasting
legacy of success and leadership, and I
will do my utmost to continue in his
stead and make my own strides forward
with the department.
I wish to thank everyone for placing
their trust in me and I look forward to
meeting as many alumni and friends
as possible in the coming months and
years.
Stay tuned for information on
upcoming receptions and events – we
will be in touch. Also, never hesitate to
contact me with questions or concerns
or, just to say “hi” and to introduce
yourself. I’d love to hear from you.

Beverley Paterson Wood ’64:
Aurora Citizen of the Year
Congratulations to Beverley Paterson Wood ’64 who
was named Aurora’s Citizen of the Year on May 26, 2014
at a ceremony hosted by Geoffrey Dawe, Mayor of Aurora,
Ontario. Beverley, a past Huron Alumni Association President,
was recognized for her “all-round community involvement”
and contributions to Aurora.
As
reported by Brock
Weir in The Auroran,
one person who
has seen Beverley’s
work in action is the Rev. Dawn
Davis of Trinity Anglican Church
where Beverley is a parishioner. The
recognition of Beverley was “long
overdue,” Ms. Davis said, particularly
for someone who “never looks for the
limelight.”
“It is in the little conversations I
have with people where I can’t count
the times where they say, ‘I was at a
crossroads in my life when I thought I
wasn’t going to make it, and then I met
Beverley Wood,’” said Ms. Davis.
She recalled an Egyptian family
who had recently arrived in Canada,
stopping by Trinity on an Easter
Morning not quite sure where to go
or what to do. They crossed paths with
Beverley and she took them into her
home, served them a full Easter dinner,
and helped them settle into their new
life. And this story, she said, is one of
many.
“She has a profound faith and that
gives her strength you can’t measure.
She calls you to be your best person.
She doesn’t make you dependent on
her; she calls you to be strong and
because she is there beside you, you
know you can be.”
A founder of Welcoming Arms,
the outreach group bringing together
Trinity Anglican Church, Aurora
United Church, Our Lady of Grace
Catholic Church, Community Campus
Church, St. Andrew’s Presbyterian
Church and Aurora Cornerstone
Church, Beverley was celebrated for her
tireless community service stretching
back nearly 40 years, as The Auroran
reported.
“She can be described no better
than as a woman who gets stuff done,
no matter the time, the place, or the
circumstance,” said Mayor Geoffrey
Dawe, introducing the new Citizen of
the Year. “From the multiple members
of the community that nominated her,
the words ‘gracious’, ‘welcoming’ and
‘deserving’ occurred frequently.
“Every Wednesday evening, you can
find her at Trinity serving all members
of our community through the
Welcome Table program.”
“The thank-you notes arrive from
her promptly and she is always the first
person to show her gratitude,” Mayor
Dawe concluded.
“We work very well together,” said
Beverley. “Our aim is to be of assistance

to those people who are in need in
Aurora. It could be any kind of need
and our biggest gift is we are able
to listen. We might not have all the
answers, but we try and one thing I
feel very strongly about is pooling our
resources. I can’t begin to tell you what
I have learned by just opening up my
heart and opening up my ears.”
Beverley has also been named to The
Order of the Diocese of Toronto. She
was nominated by her parish of Trinity
Anglican Church, Aurora for her work
with Welcoming Arms, Welcome
Table, the Clothes Closet, lay pastoral
visitation, and benevolence assistance.
Established in 2013, The Order of
the Diocese of Toronto was created to
recognize and honour those members
of the laity in the Diocese who have
given outstanding service over a
significant period of time in their
volunteer ministry.
Congratulations, Beverley!

M a k i n g a D i ff e r e n c e
Missions Abroad
– Huron Educated
By: Brittany Cartwright
I have been influenced by almost every culture in the world, but going to Bangladesh on my recent
mission trip and coming back again made me realize that I don’t truly know any of them. That said,
it was an incredible experience, and I would do it again in an instant.
I am
10
studying
theology at
Huron with a
very intentional focus on going into
ministry. Part of that is engaging with a
natural curiosity and part is developing
a bond with scripture. This bond starts
as an area of interest, grows with
analysis, peaks with personal faith…
well, actually, no – it doesn’t peak, in my
experience it just keeps growing.
Growth only happens when it is
nurtured, and my education in theology
has nurtured my love of learning. When
it comes to Christian scripture, and
even knowledge gained about other
religions, I not only get to learn about
it, but I get to learn from it. My mission
trip was an eye-opening educational
experience.
Imagine trying to embrace a culture
as much as possible, but finding barriers
because of your skin or your gender at
almost every turn. Then imagine being
in a culture based on hospitality so
no matter what, you are made to feel
comfortable. Thirdly, imagine knowing,
as hard as it is for you, it is harder for
the citizens of that culture. Put those
together and you will have a small
glimpse at my experience in Bangladesh
with the Children’s Uplift Program.
Every morning, I travelled by riksha
Brittany during her placement with the Children’s Uplift Program.
to the Children’s Uplift Program. The
focus of the Children’s Uplift Program
is just what it sounds: uplifting children
from their current situation. I largely
worked in the daycare where atrisk children are given food, shelter,
education, and are nurtured in every
way possible. As we walked in, several
girls ran up to us yelling “AUNTI”;
this happened every time. Being there
for five weeks gave the opportunity
for the children to bond with us. They
asked us about students who have come
in the past which tells me that they
don’t forget about us when we’re gone,
much like I will never forget them. We
formed relationships with the people:
in placement, with our hosts, with other
students – we try to match the love
they give us. One form of learning is to
realize that while you have experiences
to share with them, they also have a
story to share with you.
I learned also, through fundraising,
a kind of humility; to not be afraid
to ask a question, even if you think
the answer will be no. Part of the
experience of the trip I went on begins
before you really know for sure you’re
going; students are expected to raise
the funds equal to the entire cost of the
trip, which for me was over $4,000. If
you can’t raise the funds – you don’t go.
Being in a culture that isn’t your
own though, you have to ask a lot of
questions, and you have to be willing
to hear the answers and be open to
new possibilities – something that my
Brittany (second row, third from right) with other students working in Bangladesh.
education helped me with.
I went to Bangladesh, but what
seems one of the most important
aspects in retrospect is that I went
with a team. Being a part of a
community is something that is vital
to a spiritual life; and inviting people
into community is something that I
can personally guarantee that Huron
University College does exceedingly well.

Theology student at Huron.
Huron’s Mentoring Program
Connecting Huron Students and Huron Alumni
Huron
students
and
graduates are better prepared, better
educated and better equipped to enter
the job market than ever before.
And Huron’s Mentoring Program
is one example of Huron doing its
utmost to prepare our graduates for
opportunities in emerging markets with
both the required – and the desired –
employment skills.
The mandate of the Mentoring
Program is threefold:
XX Help young alumni and senior
students explore different career
paths through career advice and
coaching from Huron alumni
XX
XX
Facilitate career transitions for
young alumni and senior students
Provide young alumni with role
models who can guide their
professional development.
To do the above, of course we need
our alumni. You can help our current
students and young alumni navigate the
career and employment byways. Your
expertise, wisdom and professionalism
are needed to help our students become
even more successful in their postHuron lives.
Mentors are invited to attend
Mentoring Receptions where Huron’s
best and brightest students and young
alumni also attend. These students are
eager to learn from your experiences
and to gain access to your knowledge.
For those interested in
participating in Huron’s
Mentoring Program, please
contact Nicole Dorssers at
ndorsser@huron.uwo.ca.
Whether you have many years of
experience or are relatively new to the
employment sector, your insights and
tips can help our students to navigate
the current job market.
Mark your calendars: Huron’s next
Mentoring Reception is scheduled for
January 28, 2015.

M a k i n g a D i ff e r e n c e
Huron in Honduras 2013:
A Summary
By: Meg Pirie
A little over a year ago, ten Huron students and two co-organizers
left Canada for Copán Ruinas, Honduras. This trip marked a
milestone in this Huron program: ten years have passed since
the first group of Huron students made their way to Honduras.
In fact, I was part of the 2004 group of six students who went
to Copán Ruinas for the first time, so taking part in the trip
as a co-leader (alongside Richie Bloomfield, Class of 2014
and Global Studies’ Dr. Wendy Russell), was a humbling and
special experience. Life has a funny way of coming full circle in
unexpected ways.

As far as international opportunities,
Huron in Honduras is unique. This
Community-Based Learning course
and trip are open to all students. The
selected applicants collectively fundraise
throughout the year in order to pay for
flights, Spanish lessons (students take
daily lessons at a local language school),
lodgings (students stay with local
families during their time in Copán),
and honorariums allotted to the nongovernmental organizations (NGOs)
students work with.
On top of the fundraising, students
are enrolled in a second-term Centre
for Global Studies course taught by Dr.
Wendy Russell. The course provides
much needed context not only for what
students would do while away, but also
insight surrounding Honduras civil
society, the nation’s complex dialogue
with globalization, and day-to-day
socio-cultural norms.
This past trip, students worked
with three NGOs in rotating groups:
Urban Promise Honduras, a faithbased organization which provides
after-school care, among other services;
Casita Copán, a “home away from
home” for at-risk children in Copán
Ruinas that provides essential day
care services to single moms living
in poverty who are supporting their
families on their own; and finally, Casa
K’Nich, a Mayan cultural organization
focused on raising awareness of local
Maya Chorti culture.
While away, students also blogged
about their observations and
experiences and took part in weekly
writing workshops to encourage
ongoing, critical reflection.
Tasks ranged from delivering classes
about Maya Chorti culture to rural
schoolchildren, painting murals, and
helping organize games for kids after
school. Sometimes the unexpected
was needed, at times it was less than
glamorous, but these three weeks
living and learning in Honduras
truly represent the best of liberal arts
education. Students were able to form
thoughtful opinions based on lived
experiences and apply knowledge ‘in
the field,’ all while asking provoking,
affecting questions.
Immediately after we arrived in San
Pedro Sula and made the three hour
journey through the mountains to
Copán, the group actively discussed the
ways in which Honduras is presented
through mainstream media outlets
and how these projections reflected
or contradicted their own experiences
in Honduras. Participants thought
critically about the functioning of
big and small not-for-profits in
the global south, as well as the role
of student volunteers within this
complex ecosystem. Living in a town
that benefits directly from a nearby
UNESCO World Heritage site, (there
are Mayan ruins within walking
distance to Copán), it was clear that
students began to think deeply about
the positives and negatives of tourists
and tourism, as well. Most importantly,
living with local families was (and
remains) a vital way to form authentic
relationships based on day-to-day
interactions and an exchange of ideas
and experiences.

crafts made by Honduras students.
After arriving back in London, I
was repeatedly asked a question that
remains impossible to answer, a little
over one year later: What was the
highlight? I am certain that these
three weeks will provide both the trip
leads and the students with pleasant
memories, challenging reflection, and
ample cause for ongoing thought.
I suppose if I return to that pesky
question, “What was the highlight?”
I would identify not so much a single
event, but a hope that the participants
can use their three weeks as a
springboard to become more engaged
with their communities. If these
ten students go on to authentically
contribute through humility,
compassionate curiosity, a willingness
to take risks, and find ways to play in
the unknown, then that’s my highlight.

M a k i n g a D i ff e r e n c e
Huron: A Promise Kept
By: Melissa Zuleta Jimenez, Class of 2014
My first week at Huron was a blur. I was still getting accustomed to the schedule and realizing the
V214 actually existed… who knew the “Valley” was underground? And that there was an elevator?
N
avigating my way
through each course
syllabus and trying
to figure out how
I would manage to
read three books for each course for
the next day’s class, my first year ended
as quickly and as blurry as it began.
First year was a big eye opener and left
me with invaluable lessons that I will
always carry with me. For starters: time
management.
During my next three years through
the student work study program,
I managed to work at Huron’s
Phonathon and the University
Advancement Office, allowing me to
see how much effort and value they
place on fostering alumni relationships
well beyond convocation. I made
invaluable friendships and met
excellent faculty and staff that guided
me and made my time at Huron
unforgettable.
The Advancement Office made my
transition into the office life very easy
and taught me a lot of what it means to
support one another and the meaning
of teamwork. That office work allowed
me to save enough money for my sixmonth academic exchange to France,
another way that Huron stays true
to their word. I began at Huron, and
many doors opened for me. France also
pushed me to my limits and prepared
14
me for whatever fourth year had in
store.
Thankfully, early on in my academic
career, I discovered my true passion lies
in political science, mixed with some
Français, leading to my decision of
successfully running as youth councillor
and representative for Ward 7 (North
West London) in the London Youth
Advisory Council (LYAC).
The LYAC is an initiative aimed at
providing youth in London with an
opportunity to voice their ideas and
concerns over issues that affect both
young and old in the city.
With my political science degree,
I am able to look at complex issues
and analyze them in a more rational
manner, helping me to see each point
of view and working on a solution
that will be effective and will allow
for everyone’s lives to improve in the
long term.
During my term as youth
councillor, I hope to reach
out to young newcomers and
immigrants, in a way that will
help their transition to be a
smoother experience. Being an
immigrant myself, I understand
how difficult it can be
adjusting to a new system and
a completely different culture.
I hope to pursue a Master’s
Degree in International Security
and work with women affected by
conflicts, whether these are civil or
international. I would like to prevent
women being the main victims in these
conflicts and finding a democratic way
of ensuring their safety.
I am now an intern at Western
University’s International Office, a fastpaced environment allowing me to use
the skills I garnered at the University
Advancement Office to good use.
I would recommend Huron to
anyone seeking that small community,
with the advantages of having Western
right at their doorstep. I will reiterate
that Huron does stay true to their
word: you start here, but you can go
anywhere!

Library curtains get new life
By: Meg Pirie
By: Meg Pirie
Earlier this year, library staff were
sorting materials that had yet
to be bar coded when one of the
reference librarians stumbled
upon a surprise, almost thirty
years in the making.
Inside G.W. Stevens‘ Naval Policy, the
following note was left:
Found in the Lower Stacks of Huron College on the
evening of November fifth 1987.
Today is a cold and wet day. I have a term paper
due tomorrow and I am just starting it tonight.
The world is at peace now, but the Middle East is
not stable.
I hope to return to read this book and my note in
forty years.
Yours Respectfully,
Chris Albinson
Vice-President, HCSC 87-88
When Chris wrote this note, the Valley
Wing was not yet built, e-mail was not
yet used, and students used call numbers
for library research. To honour Chris’s
contribution to this living archive, librarians
opted to replace the note in Stevens’ book,
patiently awaiting its next discovery.
Huron is a special place filled with
character, and the library is no
exception. For current students,
it provides an inspiring space to
learn and for alumni, the library
holds symbolic capital in the form
of memories. In fact, the Silcox
Memorial Library was part of an
expansion, and officially opened
Founder’s Day 1958. The curtains
have been a noteworthy part of
the landscape for decades and
occasionally, a touch-up or two are
required.
The Reading Room’s trio of
windows—which are almost floor
to ceiling in length—are covered in
a recreation of the Bayeux tapestry.
The original is an embroidered cloth,
(not an actual tapestry, since that
involves weaving), which measures
nearly 70 metres/230 feet long. The
tapestry depicts the events leading
up to the Norman conquest of
England concerning William, Duke
of Normandy, and Harold, Earl
of Wessex, later King of England,
and culminating in the Battle of
Hastings.
“They depict a very particular
story; it’s really neat that the curtains
in the Reading Room are themselves
something to be read, which is
appropriate in this space,” Jennifer
Robinson, Director of Library and
Information Services, says. “In their
own way, these curtains are text to be
analysed.”
“When I arrived I was very struck
by the beauty—almost majesty—of
the Reading Room,” she says. “It’s well
loved and well used. From September
through to exams, students are here
working. In the spring when we
began thinking about different spring
cleaning projects that we wanted to
accomplish to freshen up the library,
the curtains came to mind.”
Library staff began the process of
looking into how, exactly, that much
fabric could be repaired. A draper
was located and brought in to assess
the curtains, who agreed there was
enough fabric to salvage panels and
also re-line them. In addition, blinds
were installed. “The screens act as
blinds and serve a functional purpose,”
Jennifer says. “The blinds will keep
the heat out in the summer and retain
heat in the winter, but they’re also
light-filtering, so they can be raised or
lowered to let light in or block it out,
but maintain that aesthetic. Ultimately,
we want students to feel comfortable
when they study.”
“The idea was to bring them (the
curtains) back to their former glory,”
Jennifer says. “People are quite excited
because they can see the tapestry and
the story, which had faded into the
background over the years.”
The library staff requested that
unused fabric from the project be
returned for various ‘upcycled’ projects
that use the unique textile for items
like bookmarks, throw cushions for
soft seating in the library, and even
iPod or iPad cases.”
“It’s a nice memento; people love
the library here at Huron.”

In memory of Dr. Mary

extended to Huron to advance education
in the fields of theology and psychology.
By Dr. Stephen McClatchie
“Always a passionate patron of our
undergraduate program and ever the
die-hard psychologist, I recall Dr. Wright
grilling some of our faculty (me included!)
on our research during one of her many
visits to Huron. She loved meeting our
students and telling them stories of the
“old times” when Psychology in Canada
was in its infancy. In addition to providing
funds to build the Mary J. Wright Centre
for Psychology (in the Huron Valley
Wing), which allowed Huron to expand
experimental research facilities in
Psychology, she also endowed the Mary
J. Wright Research Fund in Psychology,
which allows the Psychology program
to fund student-led research projects.
This year, we held the inaugural Affiliates’
Thesis Conference at Huron in memory
of Mary Wright and her very generous
support of our program.”
Dr. Mary Wright, an esteemed academic
who pioneered research in psychology,
an individual committed to community
service, an Honorary Fellow of Huron
and past member of the Executive Board
passed away peacefully in Strathroy,
Ontario on April 23, 2014 in her 99th year.

Mary’s association with the Huron
community was alongside her
distinguished career at Western. Mary was
the first female chair of a Department of
Psychology of a major Canadian university
and pioneered significant research in
the field of child psychology. In 1973, she
established the groundbreaking University
Laboratory School at Western, serving as
director of the school until her retirement
in 1980. Among her many honours, Mary
was recipient of the Queen Elizabeth Silver
Jubilee Medal and the YMCA London
Women of Excellence award in 2007.
An active and devoted member of the
Anglican Church, Mary was a member
of St. John the Evangelist Church in
Strathroy, where she continued to live in

“The Clark and Mary Wright Chair in New

Wright; it provides a measure of stability

in the teaching in the Faculty of Theology
but also in my progress as a scholar,
and I remember with fondness my
conversations with her about my work.
I am grateful to be able to hold this Chair.”

“My father was then the rector of
St. John’s Church in Strathroy, Ontario
where the Wright family lived, and a
close connection with the Wright family

difficulties with me had prompted her
to search for solutions to straighten out
obstreperous boys!”

Congratulations to
Professor Richard McLaren
The 2014 Huron Alumni Award of Distinction Recipient
The Huron Alumni Award of Distinction has been established
to recognize, honour and celebrate members of the Huron
University College Alumni Association for outstanding
professional achievement, community contribution and service
and is presented for enriching the lives of others through
generous gifts of time and talent.
This year’s Huron Alumni Award of
Distinction was awarded to Professor
Richard McLaren on Homecoming
weekend in September. Professor
McLaren said of receiving the honour
that “this sort of occasion gives you
positive thinking and reflection.”
Professor McLaren, a well-respected
lawyer, educator, and internationally
recognized dispute resolution arbitrator,
lived at Huron in O’Neil Residence
from 1964-1968. Nominated by Ian
Skaith, Huron alumnus, Class of 1969,
Professor McLaren has been a member
of the Huron University College
Corporation since 2009 and says his time
at Huron taught him many life lessons.
“This sort of occasion gives you
positive thinking and reflection.”
“It was at Huron that I learned about
taking on responsibilities. Being
responsible for the decisions, for
yourself, to make sure you carry on the
responsibilities to your family, (and)
your community.”
“I arrived at Huron in 1964 not
knowing much about anything. Huron
taught me how to think, how to do (my)
best as an academic.”
Professor McLaren has done much
since graduating university. He is
Counsel with McKenzie Lake Lawyers
LLP and Senior Law Professor at
Western University. In addition, he
is the founder of Innovative Dispute
Resolution and he also established
McLaren Global Sport Solutions.
Professor McLaren has a wealth
of international experience and his
expertise is well respected throughout
the world. He has memberships in
the Court of Arbitration for Sport in
Lausanne, Switzerland, the Beijing
Arbitration Commission, the London
Court of International Arbitration and
the Dubai International Arbitration
Centre and here at home in the Sport
Dispute Resolution Centre for Canada.
He holds prestigious positions in the
Straus Institute for Dispute Resolution
and Council of Distinguished Advisors
at Pepperdine University. International
organizations such as the Sports Law
Institute at Marquette University,
Basketball Arbitral Tribunal, and the
FIA International Court of Appeal
(the governing body of Formula One
Racing) have sought his expertise.
Thankfully, he says, he likes to travel.
Professor McLaren has been called
on frequently as an on-site arbitrator

at the Nagano and Torino Winter
Olympic Games, and the Sydney,
Athens and Beijing Summer Olympic
Games, as well as the Commonwealth
Games and the World Cup of Soccer.
He was an advisor to Senator
Mitchel in the Major League Baseball
inquiry into performance enhancing
drugs in sport and has conducted major
investigative inquires for the United
States Olympic committee and the
International Association of Athletics
Federations.
He is the editor of several legal
publications. His expertise in the areas
of commercial, bankruptcy and sports
law has resulted in publications that are
regarded as leading scholarly works in
their fields.
The Huron community congratulates
Professor McLaren, and thanks him for
everything he does for Huron and the
communities in which he serves.

Gifts of securities:
Supporting Huron and Saving Taxes
Gifts of securities to Huron University College can help keep Huron a first-class community of
learning for its students while saving you hundreds or thousands of dollars in taxes.
As provided by the federal government’s May, 2006 budget, donors pay no capital gains tax on a gift of
securities such as stock or mutual funds to a registered charity such as Huron University College.
This can mean substantial tax savings particularly on securities which have appreciated in value over time.
The following example shows how, if you own securities and wish to donate them to Huron, considerable
tax savings are possible:

Additional information is available on the
Huron website at huronuc.ca/securities.
Visitors to this page can download forms to
print and mail to Huron once the decision is
made to make a gift of securities.
The above assumes a marginal tax rate of 45 per cent.

Other

XX support of Huron students who perform community

Scholarships and bursaries
for Arts and Social
Science students
Scholarships recognize and reward students for
outstanding academic achievement. Donations were
made to both the General Scholarship Fund to provide
scholarships to first-year students and to named
scholarships and prizes.
Bursaries provide financial assistance to students in
need based on family income. Thirty per cent of Huron
students qualify for this financial assistance. Currently,
Huron is able to meet only 35% of the financial need for
which students qualify. Support for bursaries can
make a significant difference in a student’s ability to
attend Huron.

t h a n k you !
Huron Heritage Society
Thank you to the following members
of the Huron Heritage Society who
have made a planned gift to Huron,
such as remembering Huron in their
will or arranging for a life insurance
policy with Huron as the beneficiary.
Your support enables Huron to
provide an engaging and challenging
educational experience that gives
our students a distinct advantage
throughout their lives.
A planned gift, in one’s name or a family
name, can establish a scholarship, a bursary, a
library fund, or a campus preservation fund,
for example, in the form of an endowment or
capital fund. A percentage of the fund is paid
out each year to benefit Huron students for
years to come. In this way a planned gift can
provide a continuing legacy to benefit students
at Huron University College – it’s the gift that
keeps on giving in your memory.
Many thanks to the members of the Huron
Heritage Society who are known to have made
a planned gift to Huron.
