Library takes Goya's words to heart

trevor.kenney — Fri, 15 Jun 2012 21:45:20 +0000

I Am Still Learning is the title of a sketch by Francisco de Goya (1746–1828). These words adorn a plaque near the west entrance to the Library Information Network Centre (LINC).

Goya's words serve as both inspiration and a reminder that after more than 45 years, the library still has lessons to learn – striving to be a dynamic environment that adapts to meet the needs of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ community.

Library staff members are continually looking for ideas and inspiration that can be purposed to suit our own user's needs. Recently, the staff ventured to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Calgary to tour the new Taylor Family Digital Library (TFDL).

The TFDL was formally opened in October 2011 to much fanfare in the library community and stands as a model for libraries to come.

Design aesthetics aside, the TFDL is committed to improvement as they continue to modify and redesign space to serve users. The library is already adding study carrels and changing group workroom furniture in response to the needs and demands of its clientele.

The U of L staff was treated to three distinct tours geared at highlighting the various aspects of the TFDL's environment and services. These included general, services and technologies tours, all of which were tailored to meet the interests of our staff.

"The tour really gave our staff a glimpse of what a true 21st century learning space can be," says Brenda Mathenia, associate ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ librarian. "The entire concept revolves around flexibility (demountable walls and multi-use spaces) and ubiquitous access to technologies.

The focus is on students and the technologies and tools they need, and expect to use, as they learn, share and ultimately create new knowledge and expertise. It's an exciting place to be!"

The new library concept offers a veritable playground of advanced and accessible technologies. Media equipped workrooms and interactive touch panels offer just a glimpse of the technological advances. A unique "visualization room" features a floor-to-ceiling/wall-to-wall high definition screen that can be utilized by astronomers, geologists and statisticians to visualize and analyze data in new ways.

"It's a great example of technology being incorporated into a building right from the design phase to meet the changing needs of users," says Allan Gergel, the library's information systems supervisor. "We were also provided a behind-the-scenes look at the building's infrastructure, which is key to delivering relevant technologies and future expansion."

One of the highlights on the services tour included an overview of the Learning Commons Service Desk, where patrons can borrow resources and get research assistance in one location, meaning no more wandering between desks looking for help.

Taking advantage of an opportunity to view a technology-rich educational facility such as the TFDL can only help U of L library staffers as they continue to search for ways to improve the client experience at the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Library. Taking a lead from Goya, the library continues to evolve because regardless of how old we get, we are still learning.

Hughes gift supports library

trevor.kenney — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 21:54:30 +0000

It is said that "no man is an island" and neither is the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Library. Many initiatives undertaken in the library are collaborations with individuals and groups that allow the library to expand the services provided to meet the needs of its patrons. One such collaboration is the recent addition of multimedia computers.

The specialized computers, installed in October 2011, provide students with equipment that can produce professional-quality multimedia projects. In addition to the computers and software, Peer Assisted Technology Support Students (PATSS) provide a human component to assist users of the stations.

The official launch of the multimedia service, honoured Dr. David and Shirley Hughes, whose generous donation helped to make the service possible. Hughes has long been active in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ community, serving as Chair to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Finance Committee from 1976 to 1982 and as a member of the Board of Governors from 1989 to 1995. He was also part of the Library Information Network Centre campaign that was instrumental in establishing the structure that currently hosts the library.

"He got excited about the fact that we were talking about responding to student needs for new services in a new era," said ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ Librarian Alison Nussbaumer at the opening ceremony. "We weren't talking about building with bricks and mortar, and weren't talking about adding layers to existing services. We were talking about some transformational services."

In times when budgets are leaner, the library continues to work in a collaborative manner to further augment and expand the services available to U of L students. It is through the valued and visionary contributions made by patrons of the library, such as the Hughes, that the library is able to respond quickly to the changing needs of students.

The Cade Decade

trevor.kenney — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 20:58:29 +0000

UPDATE: Dr. Bill Cade will receive an honorary degree at the Fall 2012 Convocation ceremony, Saturday, Oct. 13, 10 a.m. at the 1st Choice Savings Centre gymnasium

When President Dr. Bill Cade first laid eyes on the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge in 2000, he saw an institution on the verge of a growth spurt, ready to come of age. Still not completely sure of its identity, the U of L was a young, emerging ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ poised to break out of its adolescence.

A decade later, as Cade prepares to wrap up his 10-year presidency, he sees an entirely different picture – the U of L's growth as a comprehensive university reflected by its stunning physical profile atop the Oldman River valley.

"I think it was a well-kept secret," says Cade of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ when he arrived on campus. "I think we were known well in some quarters, but I thought we needed to become more well-known in others.
"Today, I love to stand on the other side of the river with my dogs and look at the campus. I especially like it when the lights are on in the new stadium."

The Community Sports Stadium is the most recent addition to campus (it opened in September of 2009), and when Markin Hall opens this fall (Cade will return for the ceremony), it will bookend the Cade Decade, a 10-year period of unprecedented expansion and self-awareness at the U of L.

"For the past 10 years, as Bill and I worked together to advance the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's relationships with Canada and Alberta, he has been a visionary and dynamic force to identify and further the goals of programs, advancement and infrastructure development," says Dr. Jim Horsman (LLD '04 ), U of L chancellor emeritus (1999-2003) and a former member of the Board of Governors.

The building boom was just beginning in 2000 with the addition of Anderson Hall, a multi-purpose classroom and office facility. A year later, the $34 million Library Information Network Centre (LINC) and Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience (CCBN) would follow, and while their planning had begun before Cade's arrival, it was he who introduced the new U of L look to the broader community. It was a role he was ideally suited to perform.

"Bill is the greatest cheerleader the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has ever seen – it must be the Texan in him," says Greg Weadick (BSc '77), MLA for Lethbridge West. "Under his watch, the U of L has become a stronger community partner and a source of immense pride for all southern Albertans."

Cade recognized early that the U of L had a great story to tell, and a southern Alberta community eager to not only listen to that story but become a part of it, too.

"Initially, I don't think I had an appreciation for the prominence of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ and the office of the president in this community, and that turned out to be one of the very enjoyable aspects of the job," says Cade.

His previous position, at Brock ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ in St. Catharines, Ont., did not afford that luxury. Whereas Brock was one of many players in the eight-million person Golden Horseshoe region of southern Ontario, the U of L is a benchmark southern Alberta industry.

"When Dr. and Mrs. Cade arrived in Lethbridge, it became clear quite quickly that their outgoing and positive approach to community involvement was going to make a difference in the connection between the community and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ," says Cheryl Dick, chief executive officer, Economic Development Lethbridge.
"The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has grown during his tenure through new facilities, but its footprint has also grown in terms of influence. By association, the reputation and respect of our city has also increased."

Cade and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ couldn't accomplish this simply by putting up buildings. Growth for the sake of growth, in Cade's own words, "is stupid," and what the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ was able to do over the last 10 years was identify areas of need and create programming that connected with emerging trends.

"We grew because we're in the business of admitting students to the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ, we're not in the business of excluding them. I've always been proud of that fact," says Cade.

Already blessed with a solid base of undergraduate programs, the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ sought to increase its presence in the graduate world. The spring following Cade's installment saw the CCBN taking shape and the first doctoral students for the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's PhD in Neuroscience program being accepted.

While expanding graduate programming along with the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's research portfolio stood out as key priorities, to do so required money – a lot of money. The answer came in the form of an advancement office.

"I'd learned the advancement structure at Brock, and I enjoyed asking for money," says Cade. "It's easy to ask if you've got people who know what they're doing and will point you in the right direction. I thought building our reputation, letting people know who we are and what we were doing was a real priority.
"Asking for money is the easiest part of it; the hardest part is building up to it. If you've done the proper work leading up to it, I think you're OK to ask."

As funding for graduate programming grew, so did the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's research portfolio. In the past 10 years, the U of L's research funding has soared a phenomenal 610 per cent, taking what was a primarily undergraduate university to a research-intensive, comprehensive university with a focus on both undergraduate and graduate studies.

The ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's Community of Research Excellence Development Opportunities (CREDO) initiative, a new grant program for researchers in the social sciences, humanities, fine arts, education and management, was established. The U of L's allocation of Canada Research Chairs, nine, was met, and unique, issue-driven programs such as the Alberta Ingenuity Centre for Water Research were established. In 2008, the Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building (AWESB) opened, and in 2009, the U of L attracted foremost neuroscientist Dr. Bruce McNaughton and $20 million in funding to the CCBN, earning the inaugural Alberta Heritage Foundation for Medical Research Polaris Award.

"The research side of our mandate has certainly grown tremendously and is as high a quality as you could find around the country and around the world," says Cade, noting that the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has worked hard to maintain its foundation of providing a personal, supportive small-school approach.
"We've done that while keeping our undergraduate and graduate programming very strong as well. If you don't grow in terms of new programs and evolve your interests in other degrees, you stagnate, and if you're starting to stagnate by resting on your laurels, you're in trouble."

Modestly, Cade is the first to admit that some of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's growth was a matter of being in the right place at the right time. While the U of L worked hard to create the community alliances necessary to open the new 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness in 2007, the Community Sports Stadium, a crown jewel for southern Alberta sport, was basically dropped on the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's doorstep.

"Clearly there were things that we went after and we got them, but there were things that came out of the blue. Serendipity is a wonderful thing," says Cade.
"We didn't see the stadium coming, we didn't know that was something the city would propose, but seizing the opportunity is a really important part of it; that's something the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has done since its inception, seize opportunities."

With more than 8,000 students, a new home for the Faculties of Health Sciences and Management ready to open and a continually emerging research presence established, is Cade comfortable with how he is leaving the U of L?

"At the risk of sounding egotistical, yes, I think so," he says. "I think in terms of our academic development and in terms of having a functioning advancement office and having an outstanding faculty and good facilities, yes, I think so. There's always more you can do, but I feel pretty satisfied."

He pays no heed to trying to write his own legacy.

"I hope I have a legacy," he laughs. "I feel extremely good about the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ. It is without question the most satisfying experience of my professional life. But as to a legacy? Somebody else has to figure that one out."

Perhaps it's the western skyline that will tell his story, now pierced by the glass and steel that represent a transformed campus and a new, confident identity.

"I scan the horizon and I can see the new stadium, the residences we put in, I can see Markin Hall rising, and from a certain vantage point you can see the Alberta Terrestrial Imaging Centre satellite dish, the AWESB and, of course, the new gymnasium. If you had told me 10 years ago that all of these things would be happening on campus, I would have thought it was wishful thinking."

The people's President

trevor.kenney — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 18:04:03 +0000

He readily admits he was not ready for the job of ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge president 10 years ago and even jokes that he might not be ready for it today. Such is the self-effacing manner in which Bill Cade has guided the U of L for the past decade, a 10-year period of unprecedented growth and achievement for the institution.

"I think you grow into jobs and anybody who thinks they are ready for any complex job probably doesn't know the job yet," says Cade, who will conclude his 10-year tenure as president at the end of June.

"I remember saying at the outset, "I'm joining your team, you're not joining my team." And to join the team, you've got to know the team. I don't care if it's football, baseball or a team of 800. I spent a fair amount of time getting to know people and learning things about them so I'd understand the role they played here."

That's something Cade never let lapse throughout his 10 years on campus. Considered by many to be the most personable "boss" they'd ever worked for, Cade embodies the personal, supportive environment the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ trumpets as one of its tenets.

"Right from when Bill came to the U of L, he was one of us," says Joan Zimmer, a Telecom assistant with the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's Info Tech team. "He didn't walk around with his nose in the air looking for subservience as so many do. He showed that he was in the trenches with us working for the good of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ."

Cade's ability to bring the U of L community together is universally lauded.

"Bill has an amazing capacity to see the strengths in people, to nurture those strengths and to challenge individuals to grow," says Senate and Board of Governors member Janice Varzari. "He is very appreciative of others' efforts and is very quick to acknowledge them. His capable and creative leadership has contributed very significantly to the excellence in the education of students at the U of L and the growth of programs."

What amazing growth there has been. Over the course of the last 10 years, the U of L has seen the rise of facilities such as the Library Information Network Centre, the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience (both initiated under prior president Dr. Howard Tennant), the Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building, Turcotte Hall, the 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness and most recently, the Community Sports Stadium. Throw in a new residence complex, a daycare facility, the Parkway Service Complex and soon-to-be-opened Markin Hall and the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has made building openings seem like an annual event. Cade has been at the forefront of these initiatives, introducing the new U of L campus to the world.

"I think one of Bill's great strengths has been his ability to promote the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ," says Senate member Wendy Fox. "He is a true advocate and champion for the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ."

Lethbridge West MLA Greg Weadick agrees.

"He is the greatest cheerleader the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has ever seen – it must be the Texan in him," says Weadick. "Under his watch, the U of L has become a stronger community partner and a source of immense pride for all southern Albertans. It would be impossible to list all of Bill's accomplishments but for me, his most enduring legacy will be the passion and joy that was always contagious whenever I spoke with him."

Cade doesn't like to discuss legacies, saying he'll leave that to somebody else to write. He does however, take great pride in how the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ has evolved during his watch.

"When I first came here, academically I thought we were in pretty good shape, especially when it came to undergraduate programming," says Cade. "I still believe we're in good shape there but we've been able to add so much more, including many outstanding graduate programs.
"The research side of our mandate has also grown tremendously and is as high a quality as you could find."

He'll officially leave the position of president June 30, but anticipates returning in the fall to see the opening of Markin Hall, one of the most difficult, but now, satisfying projects undertaken during his tenure.

"Markin Hall had been wished for, for years," says Cade. "It had been at the top of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's priority list for 10 years and we'd gotten nowhere with it. We clearly had to get the Faculty of Management moved out of its location, but to make it happen, we knew we had to construct the building with other academic groups."

The new Faculty of Health Sciences proved to be the right fit, and Cade still has the letter from the provincial government authorizing its $50 million contribution.

"That was a very challenging project to work on and to be able to come back in the fall and open that building will be wonderful."

With a new Strategic Plan in place, Cade is confident the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ is on secure footing as it moves forward. He sees his time as president as a continuation of the legacy established before him and one that will endure after he leaves.

"The great success of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge did not just happen," says Cade. "A group of visionaries persisted, overcame obstacles and founded the U of L. Many people followed and worked many years to grow and nurture our ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ.
"Today, we have one of the finest universities in Canada. The future of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ is very bright. I am confident the next four decades will be even more successful for the U of L."

President Cade to step aside in 2010

trevor.kenney — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 16:36:45 +0000

He's overseen a decade of unprecedented growth and presided over an educational transformation that has repositioned the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge as a leading research and graduate studies institution. On Thursday afternoon, U of L President and Vice-Chancellor, Dr. Bill Cade, announced he would be stepping aside at the completion of his second term, June 30, 2010.

"Elsa and I have made this decision after much consideration," says Cade, referring to his wife. "We believe that our time as the presidential couple has been the most satisfying experience of our professional lives. It has been a great honour for us to work with all of you to advance our ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ."

Dr. Bill Cade, who announced Thursday he would be leaving the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ after the completion of his second term as ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ President expires, in June 2010, is well known for his personal involvement with students, staff and faculty.

Cade was appointed President and Vice-Chancellor of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge in July 2000. Currently serving his second five-year term, he has overseen the development of many significant initiatives at the U of L, including two five-year strategic plans and the successful completion of the institution's largest capital campaign.

During his tenure, student enrolment grew by 50 per cent and today approximately 8,000 students from around the world call the U of L's campuses in Lethbridge, Calgary and Edmonton home. He also saw the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ evolve from a primarily undergraduate university to a leading comprehensive academic and research institution with corresponding growth in graduate programming, enrolment and external research funding (which increased by a phenomenal 610 per cent).

While the growth numbers are staggering, Cade endeavoured to keep the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ grounded in its principles. His personal style reflected well the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's roots as an institution grounded in liberal education and committed to providing its students with smaller classes and a personal learning experience.

"The best part of my job has been the people," Cade says. "The people who make up the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ are intensely proud of their ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ and what they and others have contributed to it. And similarly, the people of Lethbridge are intensely proud of their ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ. This sense of pride that people have in the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge is something that I get enormous satisfaction from."

Since his arrival in 2000, the U of L completed, initiated, constructed or planned about $200 million in capital projects and improvements. These include the Library Information Network Centre (LINC) and the Canadian Centre for Behavioural Neuroscience (CCBN) (projects started under the leadership of former president Dr. Howard Tennant), the 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness, the Parkway Services Complex, the renovation and expansion of Turcotte Hall and the Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building, which opened this past November.

Currently three more projects are under construction and set to open in 2009/2010, including the Regional Sports Stadium and Field Complex, a campus daycare and Markin Hall – a new home for the faculties of Management and Health Sciences.

"Throughout his presidency, Dr. Cade has proudly served as the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ's chief ambassador and cheerleader, and has built and strengthened community relations at local, provincial, national and international levels," says ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Board of Governors Chair Robert Turner. "During Dr. Cade's tenure, the U of L has seen an unprecedented amount of community support in the forms of fundraising and community engagement. On behalf of the ��Ѹ��Դ��߿�Ƭ of Lethbridge Board of Governors, I would like to thank Bill and Elsa for their decade of dedication and commitment to this institution."
