If we all give, it adds up.&rdquo;</p><p><div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:350px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/SOSChairsEmburyWilliams-main.jpg" title="Linda Embury, left, and Lorne Williams are the Co-Chairs for this year’s Supporting Our Students campaign." alt=""><div class="image-caption">Linda Embury, left, and Lorne Williams are the Co-Chairs for this year’s Supporting Our Students campaign.</div></div>The annual SOS campaign allows U of L faculty, staff and retirees the opportunity to contribute to student awards. SOS participants have enabled an incredible 2,000 scholarships and bursaries to be awarded to deserving students in the past year alone.</p><p>According to the Co-Chairs, the campaign has far-reaching impact.</p><p>&ldquo;Students are the reason we are all here. By giving to SOS, we can help students go forward and be positive forces in the external community,&rdquo; says Williams, the assistant dean of northern campuses.</p><p>The Co-Chairs ask that you join them in contributing at a level suitable to your circumstances and to an area on campus that holds meaning for you.</p><p>&ldquo;Every little bit helps. All it takes is a few dollars a month to make a difference,&rdquo; explains Embury.</p><p>Williams and Embury understand the challenges faced by many members of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ community at this time, but maintain a sense of pride in the U of L and optimism for the future.</p><p>&ldquo;I know that times are tough as we recover from the southern Alberta flood and face budget cuts,&rdquo; says Williams, &ldquo;but the way that we&rsquo;re getting through these challenges shows our resilience and our collaborative spirit. I believe those same qualities are at the heart of the SOS campaign. Now, more than ever, we need to put students first.&rdquo;</p><p>For more information on Supporting Our Students, or to make your contribution today, visit<br /><a href="http://www.uleth.ca/giving/supporting-our-students" rel="nofollow">www.uleth.ca/giving/supporting-our-students</a>.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div group-related-topics block-title-body speed-fast effect-none"><h2><span>Related Topics</span></h2><div class="field field-name-opencalais-organization-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Organization:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/organization/university-lethbridge" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-person-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Person:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/lorne-williams" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Lorne Williams</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/linda-embury" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Linda Embury</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-position-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Position:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/assistant" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">assistant</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/position/associate-vice-president" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">associate vice-president</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/position/dean" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">dean</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/position/co-chair" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">co-Chair</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-provinceorstate-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">ProvinceOrState:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/province-or-state/alberta" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Alberta</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-url-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">URL:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/url/wwwulethcagivingsupporting-our-students" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">www.uleth.ca/giving/supporting-our-students</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Join the SOS community" class="rdf-meta"></span> Tue, 10 Sep 2013 21:05:08 +0000 trevor.kenney 5610 at /unews Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ experience proves to be the tie that binds /unews/article/university-experience-proves-be-tie-binds <div class="field field-name-field-op-author field-type-node-reference field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="rnews:creator schema:creator"><div class="view view-openpublish-related-content view-id-openpublish_related_content view-display-id-block_1 view-dom-id-eb9591c13d648b90ebcbd304c22be8f7"> <div class="view-content"> <div class="views-row views-row-1 views-row-odd views-row-first views-row-last"> <div class="views-field views-field-title"> <span class="views-label views-label-title">by</span> <span class="field-content"><a href="/unews/profile/trevor-kenney">Trevor Kenney</a></span> </div> <div class="views-field views-field-created"> <span class="field-content">June 18, 2013</span> </div> </div> </div> </div></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item even" property="rnews:articlebody schema:articleBody"> <p>It took 19 years and thousands of miles traversed across the globe before alumna Robyn Schilling (BEd '92) and Gloria Irani-Patterson (BA '93) again crossed paths. And while the stories of their post Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge lives took divergent routes, the former roommates shared a sense of discovery and willingness for adventure that eventually led them back together – in Johannesburg, South Africa.</p><p>Schilling's story began with a move away from Lethbridge shortly after graduating with a bachelor of education degree in spring 1992. Quickly finding work as a teacher, she spent the next 11 years of her life teaching high school business education, English and computer science in Dawson Creek, Courtenay and Vancouver, B.C. schools.</p><p>"In 2003, I was somewhat disillusioned with how things were with George Bush Jr. and the leadership of the United States and truly disillusioned with how little money I could use to travel on a B.C. teacher's salary that I decided to give international education a try," says Schilling.</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/alumni-south-africa.jpg" alt="Alumni South Africa" title="Gloria Irani-Patterson, left, and Robyn Schilling reconnected in South Africa, 19 years after being roommates while studying at the U of L."><div class="image-caption">Gloria Irani-Patterson, left, and Robyn Schilling reconnected in South Africa, 19 years after being roommates while studying at the U of L.</div></div></p><p>After attending a job fair for international educational opportunities, she accepted a position at the American School of Bombay in Mumbai, India. For the next five years, Schilling taught computer science and implemented a one-to-one program for middle school students. She also worked towards her master's degree in educational leadership, attending The College of New Jersey's global graduate program for three summers in Mallorca, Spain.</p><p>Having worked her way up to become associate principal of the middle and high school, Schilling, with her master's degree in hand, was ready for another challenge and turned her gaze to South Africa.</p><p>In the meantime, Irani-Patterson had completed her bachelor's degree in English and entered the world of journalism. She finished a Cinema, Television, Stage and Radio Arts diploma at Calgary's Southern Alberta Institute for Technology and took up a position with CBC Newsworld-Calgary.</p><p>"After that, I worked for a couple flagship live television shows on ACCESS-The Education Station in Edmonton before I decided to go overseas for a year and tour Asia and the Caribbean," says Irani-Patterson.</p><p>In 1998, she returned to Canada and tackled a new challenge, finding work at a diamond mine in Canada's north. It was there she met here future husband and six years later, with a family started, the couple moved to Suriname, South America.</p><p>Two moves later (including a stint in Houston, Tex.), Irani-Patterson found herself walking down the tiled hallway of the American International School of Johannesburg (AISJ), wondering if South Africa was the right fit for her family.</p><p>"I was unsure of so many things," she says. "Are the kids going to be OK here? Am I going to be OK here? And then a thunderbolt of certainty hit me straight between the eyes. From behind me I heard a voice that I will never forget – Robyn Schilling – my roommate from the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge, now the middle school principal of AISJ."</p><p>It wasn't long before Irani-Patterson was ending her 10-year role as a stay-at-home mom and back in the workforce, alongside Schilling as the school's assistant to the activities coordinator.</p><p>Their relationship picked up virtually where it left off some 19 years previous, the shared experiences of their Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge education having inspired the duo to boldly branch out and find their respective paths, all the while bringing them back together with an unbroken bond.</p><p>"Although it is still unclear to me why our paths have crossed again," says Irani-Patterson, "reuniting with Robyn has taught me that even though the world around me changes, and I embrace that change, the relationship I began with Robyn at the U of L is a familiar and comfortable beacon in my changing world."</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the June 2013 edition of the Legend.

The Board of Governors, as well as the review committee struck to make a recommendation to the Board, unanimously supported Boudreau&#39;s reappointment.<br /><br /> &quot;Dr. Boudreau has been instrumental in ensuring the success of several initiatives over the past five years,&quot; says Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge Provost Dr. Andrew Hakin. &quot;For example, Bob was instrumental in ensuring a smooth transition for our academic programmes as we relocated our Calgary Campus to the Bow Valley College site and our Edmonton Campus to Concordia Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ College of Alberta.<br /><br /> In addition to overseeing the transition of the northern campuses, Boudreau also plays a leadership role at the U of L by leading in key strategic areas including academic quality assurance and Campus Alberta partnerships. As well, he successfully advocated to the Alberta government the need to invest in mental health supports for students on campus.<br /><br /> Over the last 30 years, Boudreau has held a variety of academic positions including Professor, Assistant Dean, Director, Honorary Visiting Research Fellow, Acting Dean of Graduate Studies, Assistant Vice-President (Academic), and Vice Provost &amp; Associate Vice-President (Academic).<br /><br /> Specializing his research in occupational burnout, his current resume lists 137 presentations, articles, books, book chapters and interviews that he has produced over the last three decades plus.

player, but<br> Dr. Lorraine Beaudin (BEd '89, MEd' 98) likes to think of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge community as a team.</p><p>"We all have a responsibility to the people around us," she explains, drawing experience from her time on the hardcourt. "We need to work together in order to be successful and that means giving of ourselves for the betterment of the group."</p><p>Currently the assistant dean of field experience in the U of L's Faculty of Education, Beaudin first started giving back to her university as an undergraduate student.</p><p>"I played basketball as a student and in my final year, I took on the role of assistant coach," says Beaudin, who was part of the team that won bronze at nationals one season. "Coaching was harder than playing in lots of ways but it allowed me to give back in a concrete way to something that was important to me."</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/donor-beaudin.jpg" alt="Lorraine Beaudin" title="Dr. Lorraine Beaudin recognizes that not everyone has the opportunity to pursue a university education."><div class="image-caption">Dr. Lorraine Beaudin recognizes that not everyone has the opportunity to pursue a university education.</div></div></p><p>The lesson stuck with her long after the basketball season ended and Beaudin has been a strong supporter of Pronghorns women's basketball ever since.</p><p>"My time as a student-athlete at the U of L had a huge impact on my life," says Beaudin, who still keeps in touch with many of her former teammates and stays connected to the program by volunteering at Pronghorns alumni events. "It created opportunities that I simply wouldn't have had otherwise."</p><p>She recognizes that not every student is given the same breaks she was.</p><p>"We sometimes assume that everyone in Alberta has the chance to earn a university education, but unfortunately that's not the case. My kids have friends who can't afford to go to university," she says, pointing out that many students who are fortunate enough to attend university depend on student loans and part-time jobs to make ends meet.</p><p>For Beaudin, these difficulties emphasize the importance of Supporting Our Students (SOS), an annual campaign that brings faculty, staff and retirees together to support student awards.</p><p>"It's fantastic that the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ community comes together to support this cause," says Beaudin, who is a longtime SOS donor and an enthusiastic volunteer.</p><p>While Beaudin shows her support for Pronghorn Athletics, she emphasizes the importance of helping students from all walks of life and encourages all faculty and staff to give to an area that is important to them.</p><p>"Together, we are providing support for students who might not be here otherwise. As an educator, I can't think of a better gift than education," says Beaudin, who remains committed to creating opportunities for students both on and off the court.</p><p>For more information on SOS or to make your gift today, please visit <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/giving">www.uleth.ca/giving</a>.</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the April 2013 edition of the Legend.

"I just never thought Neil would give the position up, I figured I'd have to move to get an opportunity to be a head coach at a university level."</p><p>Ondrus is coming full circle with the program she first helped build as a player. A soccer player through high school, she graduated out of Catholic Central High, earning a soccer scholarship at the U of L. She played just one year of high school rugby, having to suit up for rival Lethbridge Collegiate Institute because CCH didn't yet have a team of its own.</p><p>Three years into her post-secondary career, Horns rugby was born and she switched sports.</p><p>"I was OK at soccer but more of a bench player than anything," says Ondrus. "But in rugby I was pretty much the quarterback as a fly half. I was on the field all the time and we played a kicking game and I was the kicker, so I was important and I loved it."</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:250px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/ondrus.jpg" alt="JJ Ondrus" title="The Horns new interim head coach, JJ Ondrus, has been with the program since its inception."><div class="image-caption">The Horns new interim head coach, JJ Ondrus, has been with the program since its inception.</div></div></p><p>In her two years as a Pronghorn she experienced just one win, but it's a memory she relishes, and it was the first brick in the construction of the Pronghorn dynasty that would emerge years later.</p><p>"That is still Neil's favourite win, and I have the newspaper clipping where he says that," smiles Ondrus, recalling the team's bronze medal victory over the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of British Columbia at the Canada West championship tournament. "I still remember him jumping out of the end zone he was so excited, because we were not supposed to beat anybody that year."</p><p>Ondrus earned her education degree and started her teaching career at Winston Churchill High School. She also went straight into coaching, both at the high school level and as one of Langevin's assistants. She has never left the program.</p><p>Over the ensuing years, Ondrus taught at Nobleford, then Fort Macleod and eventually returned to Churchill, where she is in her fifth year as a science teacher. At every stop she helped build the sport of women's rugby and like her Pronghorn brethren, played a big role in establishing the vibrant rugby culture in southern Alberta.</p><p>"If you look around the high school league, I'm pretty sure every program has a Pronghorn player on the coaching staff," she says. "People are surprised when they come to our community and see the level of support we get and especially the balance between boys and girls rugby. To see 12 girls teams to six boys teams really speaks to the strength of girls rugby in southern Alberta."</p><p>Ondrus admits she is somewhat overwhelmed with her new position. She is heavy into recruiting for the new season, knowing the Horns graduated six players last season and two others are not returning to the program. She's also acutely aware that the Horns are coming off what is for them a down year, failing to win the Canada West championship for the first time in seven seasons.</p><p>"I'll admit it, I'm a little nervous about that but the coaches and players accept that responsibility and pressure to be the best, we set the bar high and set that expectation on ourselves to go to nationals and compete for a national championship," she says.</p><p>Having been a part of the program since its outset, it's hard to imagine anyone else better prepared to take over for the only head coach the Horns have ever known. Ondrus is ready to go.</p><p>"I've been with the program since it started in 2000, so it is near and dear to my heart," she says. "I am very excited for my new role and cannot wait to bring my energy and ideas to the table. Neil has set the bar pretty high, but I know, as he does, that I am ready!"</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the February 2013 edition of the Legend.

the launch of the new U of L historical timeline, available through the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ Library (<a href="http://www.uleth.ca/lib" rel="nofollow">www.uleth.ca/lib</a>) and archives home (<a href="http://www.uleth.ca/lib/archives" rel="nofollow">www.uleth.ca/lib/archives</a>) pages.<br> <br> The creation of the new timeline was a group effort, with a prominent role played by a couple of current students and a U of L alumnus, all currently working in the library. The project began about a year ago with new media student Marcel Jepson, who was working as a student web application developer, and I sitting down to discuss what could be developed. When we decided on what we wanted, Jepson got to work building and developing the platform.<br> <br> While he did most of the work on this website, he was expertly assisted by Shem Simmons and Bryson Duda. Simmons, a graduate of the new media program who is currently working as a multimedia artist in the library's information systems department, styled and created the graphics for the timeline. Duda, a system support specialist in the library, assisted with writing the computer code that makes the timeline more interactive and searchable.<br> <br> While the website was being developed, second-year computer science student Krysti Bouttell-Bonnar (a student assistant in the library) helped research the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬'s history for suitable content.

schema:articleBody"> <p>Volunteers are often considered the lifeblood of an organization, but never is that more apparent than for the conscientious people who visit Canadian Blood Services (CBS) to donate a pint of their own.<br> <br> Last spring, the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge became a proud Partner for Life with CBS, meaning that the U of L is committed to supplying a minimum number of donations from faculty, staff and students. Over the past several months, members of the U of L community have been transported on the CBS Lifebus to the local donation centre, working hard toward reaching the goal of 150 units of blood.<br> <br> Shamus Neeson, the community development co-ordinator for CBS, is excited about the enthusiastic response from the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬.<br> <br> "I'm very happy about the strong partnership we have with the U of L," he says. "I'm really looking forward to continuing the relationship and increasing our donor numbers in the coming years."<br> <br> Canadian Blood Services established the U of L connection with the generous help of Faculty of Management Accounting Assistant, Patti Leeb, and accounting faculty member, Carla Carnaghan. Leeb and Carnaghan worked to share news of the Partners for Life initiative through various communications channels on campus, and are continuing to try and increase donor numbers.<br> <br> To date, participation in the program has been mainly from faculty and staff at the U of L, and Neeson is hoping to see more student donors in the future. There are still more than 14,600 new donors required in Alberta alone this year and greater student representation could help fill that need. To that end, two student teams from MGT 3250 (Social Marketing) will be working with Leeb, Carnaghan and Neeson to better reach students on campus.<br> <br> "I would really love to see every eligible faculty member, staff and student from the U of L be committed to donating blood on a regular basis and truly make an impact on saving lives," says Leeb.<br> <br> When 2012 draws to a close, Neeson and Leeb will take stock of the success of the program and work to establish a new, perhaps more ambitious, donation goal for 2013.<br> <br> If you are interested in becoming a part of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge's Partners for Life team, you may:<br> <br> 1) Log onto the website <a href="http://www.blood.ca/joinpartnersforlife" rel="nofollow">www.blood.ca/joinpartnersforlife</a> and complete an online form with the U of L Partner ID Number "UNIV012637" and your personal information.<br> <br> 2) Complete the membership form and forward to Patti Leeb by e-mail (<a href="mailto:leeb@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">leeb@uleth.ca</a>) or by campus mail c/o Patti Leeb, Faculty of Management to be collected and directed to Blood

He studies the etiology of sexual aggression, the development of atypical sexual preferences, the physiological assessment of sexual arousal, sex differences in genital arousal, the effect of birth order on development and the determinants of risk taking.</p><p>Prior to joining the U of L, he was a research psychologist at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health, and associate professor of psychiatry and criminology at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Toronto (1997-2004).</p><p>Lalumiere teaches courses on criminal behaviour, psychopathology and evolutionary psychology and is a past Chair of the Human Subject Research Committee.</p><p><div class="image-caption-container" style="width:500px;"><img alt="Lalumiere" src="/unews/sites/default/files/main/articles/lalumiere.jpg" title="Dr. Martin Lalumiere is a foremost expert on sexual aggression and the development of atypical sexual preferences."><div class="image-caption">Dr. Martin Lalumiere is a foremost expert on sexual aggression and the development of atypical sexual preferences.</div></div></p><p><strong>What first piqued your interest in your research discipline?</strong></p><p>As an undergraduate student at the Université de Montréal, I signed up to be a research participant for a study on the Pavlovian conditioning of sexual arousal in humans (how can one not be curious about a study like that!). I had a long chat with the PhD student who was running the study, and soon thereafter I applied for a research assistant position in that laboratory. I immediately started running similar studies and discovered that the study of human sexuality was fascinating, complex and extremely rewarding.</p><p><strong>How is your research applicable in &quot;the real world&quot;?</strong></p><p>I will say that sex is pervasive, important to people and associated with important health and life satisfaction outcomes. Increasing knowledge about sex is bound to have important impacts on things like sex education, prevention of sexually transmitted infections and sexual and relationship satisfaction. In our lab we also study the link between sexual preferences and crimes, with the hope of better preventing sexual crimes.</p><p><strong>What is the greatest honour you have received in your career?</strong></p><p>I would say the Governor General&#39;s Academic Gold Medal, for best graduating student at Queen&#39;s Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬. As a graduate student I didn&#39;t even know that such a prize existed, and all I was trying to do was to learn English and become a good scientist.</p><p><strong>How important are students to your research endeavours?</strong></p><p>I spent the first nine years of my career working in research institutes, without much help from students. I was sufficiently productive but felt that something was missing. Since arriving at the U of L in 2004 and establishing the Human Sexual Arousal Laboratory, I discovered the joys and benefits of having undergraduate and graduate students involved in my research. They are very important to my research program. In fact, most of my recent successes are a direct result of having very qualified students in my lab. Their work has shaped the direction of my own research activities.</p><p><strong>If you had unlimited funds, which areas of research would you invest?</strong></p><p>Currently, my students and I are spending most of our energies attempting to discover why women&#39;s genital arousal is not quite consistent with their experience of sexual arousal. It is a great mystery that fascinates us. Is it the most important research question in the world? Probably not. Is it an important question that is likely to lead to concrete answers? Very likely. Will those answers allow us to better understand women&#39;s sexuality (a mostly neglected topic in human science)? Very likely.</p><p>Already we have received emails from women who have been the victim of rape, and who were tortured by the memory of experiencing genital arousal during the event. We are now able to provide them with a possible explanation, and they find it quite reassuring.</p><p>The most important areas of research are those where questions are answerable and can lead to improvement in human welfare.</p><p>Having said all this, I think the most important research question for human research has to do with the effects of economic and health inequalities, and the measures needed to diminish those inequalities. We have done some research on this topic and I hope that we will continue to do so.</p><p>Each month, the Legend will present 5 Questions With . . . one of our researchers.

Schori had left an assistant's role with Calgary's Cascade Swim Club to go to Medicine Hat in 2001, seeking a head coaching position and smaller community to set down roots.</p><p>Since then, he has been busy putting the Marlin club on the map, producing elite level swimmers that included both world championship and Olympic participants.</p><p>"What we were able to do in Medicine Hat is pretty unique in terms of producing the high performance swimmers we did out of a tiny club and tiny town," says Schori. "I went in there with the belief, and I told them this, "You can get there from here, you don't have to be in Calgary", and they did. "Honest to goodness, I don't see a limit in terms of what we can accomplish here in Lethbridge."</p><p>Schori coveted the Horns job because it allows him to grow professionally and move into a high performance setting. His work in Medicine Hat was primarily with pre post-secondary swimmers and he's excited about the chance to work with young men and women.</p><p>"The facilities here are great, the size of the community is awesome and there's just a different feel to a university community than a city or town that does not have a university," he says.</p><p>His wife Staci (BFA '08, BEd '10) is a U of L alumna and the couple just recently welcomed daughter Willow into their lives.</p><p>A competitive swimmer growing up, Schori is quick to downplay his talents in the pool.</p><p>"My standard line is that if I get in the water I lose credibility," he deadpans, admitting that he actually fell just shy of a national caliber level.</p><p>What he learned as a swimmer who almost made it is reflective in the way he coaches today.</p><p>"I was good enough to understand the sport very well but I had my shortcomings, and I think if I'd had a little more support in terms of coaching, it would have helped me at the time," he says. "Some people can use the experience of going to an Olympics to help teach, whereas I can bring the experience of some of the things I struggled with to help teach."</p><p>Schori isn't blind to the challenges he faces. His Canada West rivals at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary and Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of British Columbia boast National Training Centres, while American colleges and universities have come into Lethbridge and wooed some of the best young swimmers away from the Horns program. But he's willing to fight the fight and believes the Horns can win a few battles along the way.</p><p>"It's tough when an American school can come here offering $120,000 in scholarship money but at the end of the day, that's just four years of schooling, and we can provide that too," Schori says. "We have everything we need here. What we need to do is convince the best student/athlete swimmers that this will be the environment that they can achieve their true potential."</p><p><em>This story first appeared in the September 2012 issue of the Legend.
