His lyrics tell the U of L story, from the &lsquo;plans that were laid&rsquo; to &lsquo;times of unrest, lines of protest,&rsquo; to a future filled with the &lsquo;power of hope and the power of dreaming.&rsquo;</p><p>&ldquo;We are excited to premiere this song during our Founders&rsquo; Day Weekend,&rdquo; says Chris Horbachewski, vice-president of Advancement and co-chair of the 50th Anniversary Committee. &ldquo;John has captured our past, present and future in his song and we look forward to sharing it with the community during Founders&rsquo; Day Weekend and playing it at special occasions for years down the road.&rdquo;</p><p>The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ will be launching several special initiatives during the Founders&rsquo; Day Weekend. They include the unveiling of the U of L tartan and naming the winner of the tartan contest. A specialty beer label will be revealed, details of the 50 Voices oral history project will be announced and the Shine On Fund will be introduced. In addition, a special birthday cake made in the shape of Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ Hall will also make its appearance. Baked and decorated by Amy Whipple (BA &rsquo;07), this architect of fondant has used more than 30 pounds of butter, about 90 cups of sugar and 13 dozen eggs to create a birthday cake like no other.</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-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/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-musicgroup-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">MusicGroup:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/music-group/john-wort-hannam" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">John Wort Hannam</a></div></div></div><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/founders-day-weekend" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Founders&#039; Day Weekend</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/dr-chris-hosgood" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Dr. Chris Hosgood</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/chris-horbachewski" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Chris Horbachewski</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="U of L kicks off 50th anniversary celebrations with Founders’ Day Weekend " class="rdf-meta"></span> Mon, 09 Jan 2017 16:21:05 +0000 caroline.zentner 8579 at /unews Shine On U of L 50th Anniversary Fund created in support of student scholarships /unews/article/shine-u-l-50th-anniversary-fund-created-support-student-scholarships <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>The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge is excited to come together to celebrate all it has accomplished over the past 50 years, and, with a keen eye on the future, has established the Shine On: U of L 50th Anniversary Fund as a means to help the students of today become the leaders of tomorrow.</p><p>Created as a scholarship fund, all money raised for the Shine On: U of L 50th Anniversary Fund goes directly to support student scholarships, providing greater opportunities for student success.</p><p>&ldquo;For some students, scholarships are the very reason they can continue their academic journeys. For others, scholarships allow them to focus on their studies rather than working part-time jobs,&rdquo; says Chris Horbachewski, vice-president, Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ Advancement. &ldquo;Scholarships help build confidence, they send a message to students that others believe in them enough to support their academic journeys.&rdquo;</p><p>Blair Yoxall, a fourth-year English major, says that scholarship support has meant a world of difference in his studies.</p><p>&ldquo;I have been extremely fortunate to receive many scholarships while at the U of L. These scholarships have truly given me the opportunity to focus on my schooling as my job so that I can devote more time to my studies and less time panicking about paying rent or school fees,&rdquo; he says. &ldquo;Scholarships have also made me so much more confident in my abilities and make me want to succeed for the donors who generously funded the scholarships I received.&rdquo;</p><p>The Shine On: U of L 50th Anniversary Fund will launch at the kick-off event to the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬&rsquo;s Founders&rsquo; Day Weekend.

Every donation to this fund will go directly to student scholarships, and it will be exciting to watch the support grow throughout the weekend as we track the texts and online gifts coming in.&rdquo;</p><p>To participate in the 50 Hours of Giving event, text SHINEON plus your full name and email address to 45678 beginning at noon on Friday.

And, once in a while, these students take an opportunity to pay it forward to others who have demonstrated a commitment to excellence.</p><p>One such opportunity was taken by Faculty of Management alumni Kelly Kennedy (BMgt &#39;08), Lee Spracklin (BMgt &#39;08) and Christine Odney (BMgt &#39;08). The three former members of the JDC West business competition team were looking for a way to make use of surplus team funds and came up with the idea to support current students, all the while honouring the contribution of an outstanding professor.<div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:500px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/KazakoffKennedy-main.jpg" title="Alumnus Kelly Kennedy is one of the former students behind the establishment of a new Faculty of Management scholarship program. " alt=""><div class="image-caption">Alumnus Kelly Kennedy is one of the former students behind the establishment of a new Faculty of Management scholarship program. </div></div></p><p>The Dan Kazakoff Award in Student Leadership was established shortly thereafter to recognize exceptional leadership as demonstrated through community and campus involvement.</p><p>Kazakoff is the director of Theory Into Practice Programs in the Faculty of Management. He is also known for his involvement with the Small Business Institute and, most notably, his work with students in the Integrated Management Experience class. He is both proud and humbled by the establishment of an award in his name.</p><p>&ldquo;I was very surprised, honoured and touched to hear about the award,&rdquo; says Kazakoff. &ldquo;To me it was the greatest honour I could ever achieve. I have&nbsp;gained so much from the students I&rsquo;ve interacted with and am constantly astonished at the creativity and work ethic so many have.&nbsp; I have also come to realize that if you provide a high performance culture for students they can achieve so much.&nbsp; Seeing how many students grow in their personal and professional development makes me very happy and proud of what we do in the Faculty of Management.&rdquo;</p><p>With characteristic humour, Kazakoff adds, &ldquo;I was also very happy the award did not have &lsquo;memorial&rsquo; in the title.&rdquo;</p><p>Kennedy says the project began simply, with he and his friends trying to find a way to honour a professor and mentor who had greatly impacted their U of L experience.</p><p>&ldquo;The ball got rolling when I sent a message to my friends Lee, Christine and a few others asking if they would like to work on this concept as a team. Dan gave so much of his time and energy to his students that we thought we needed to give back to him and the Faculty of Management in some way.&rdquo;</p><p>Odney and Spracklin got on board quickly to help make the idea a reality.<div class="image-caption-container right" style="width:450px;"><img src="/unews/sites/default/files/Kazakoff.jpg" title="Dan Kazakoff is well known on campus for the extra work he does with students in the JDC West program." alt=""><div class="image-caption">Dan Kazakoff is well known on campus for the extra work he does with students in the JDC West program.</div></div></p><p>&ldquo;Dan has been inspiring students a long time and it did not take any convincing that this would be a fantastic way to say thanks and hopefully continue to pay the inspiration forward,&quot; says Odney. &quot;JDC West is about striving for our best and contributing to community and that&rsquo;s what we wanted the extra funds to accomplish.&rdquo;</p><p>&ldquo;The financial burden of getting an education is a struggle for many students,&rdquo; adds Spracklin. &ldquo;This award will hopefully encourage students to go beyond the minimum course requirements to make a difference for themselves, their school and their community.&rdquo;</p><p>Kelly, Odney and Spracklin credit a number of people on campus with helping to push the award through the administrative approval process, including Chris Horbachewski (VP Advancement), Murray Lindsay (former Dean of Management), Kathy MacFarlane (Manager, Development Programs) and Anita Ryder (Management Financial Analyst).</p><p>&ldquo;Support for the award on campus was incredibly strong,&rdquo; says Kennedy.</p><p>Kazakoff says it is inspiring to see his former students recognize the value of the education they received while at the U of L, and to take that knowledge and apply it to help the next generation.</p><p>&ldquo;My best &lsquo;gift&rsquo; would be that no matter what they do in their lives, they will always be part of a community and maybe through their activities with me, they realize how their efforts can make a positive difference in whatever community they choose to be a part of,&quot; he says. &quot;I hope deserving students will be honoured to receive this award and they will aspire to be change agents in whatever they do.&rdquo;</p><p>The $1,500 award is disbursed annually to a full-time bachelor of management student with a minimum 3.0 grade-point average and a demonstrated record of service.</p><p><strong>Read about the first three Kazakoff Award Recipients <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/management/stories/KazAward-winners" title="Kazakoff Award recipients" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</strong></p><p>Anyone wishing to make a donation to the Dan Kazakoff Award for Student Leadership, or any other award, is asked to contact the office of Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ Advancement at 403-329-2582 | <a href="mailto:advancement@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">advancement@uleth.ca</a> or visit <a href="http://www.uleth.ca/giving/" rel="nofollow">http://www.uleth.ca/giving/</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-facility-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Facility:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/facility/small-business-institute" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Small Business Institute</a></div></div></div><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/faculty-management" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Faculty of Management</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/organization/small-business-institute" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Small Business Institute</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/chris-horbachewski" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Chris Horbachewski</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/christine-odney" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Christine Odney</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/kathy-macfarlane" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Kathy MacFarlane</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/anita-ryder" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Anita Ryder</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/kazakoff" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Kazakoff</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/lee-spracklin" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Lee Spracklin</a></div><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/person/murray-lindsay" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Murray Lindsay</a></div><div class="field-item odd"><a href="/unews/person/kelly-kennedy" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">Kelly Kennedy</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-opencalais-phonenumber-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">PhoneNumber:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/unews/phone-number/403-329-2582" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">403-329-2582</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/httpwwwulethcagiving" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel">/giving</a></div></div></div></div><span property="rnews:name schema:name" content="Management students pay it forward with Kazakoff Scholarship" class="rdf-meta"></span> Wed, 16 Oct 2013 19:52:49 +0000 trevor.kenney 5710 at /unews Welcome to the new UNews /unews/article/welcome-new-unews <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>The way the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge tells its story to internal and external audiences is being enhanced through a redesign of its online news website.</p><p>The second iteration of UNews includes new opportunities for the public to experience the stories that shape the U of L. The use of video, photo galleries, audio interviews and search capabilities to find<br />U of L expertise are designed to create a more interactive experience for web visitors.</p><p>&ldquo;The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ has compelling and important stories to tell,&rdquo; says Chris Horbachewski, Vice-President Advancement. &ldquo;The new UNews website celebrates student successes, research achievements, campus life and community linkages using a variety of story-telling vehicles. Communicating effectively with our internal and external audiences is a priority for the U of L and this is an important step forward for the institution.&rdquo;</p><p>The new UNews website allows users to filter their content into streams such as student success, research, campus life, community and athletics. The website allows for direct searches of the Experts Database, features media coverage of U of L research and student successes, and allows for users to search for archived material.</p><p>The relaunch of the UNews website is one of a number of changes to the way in which the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ is now communicating with its audiences. In June 2013, the U of L launched the Experts Database, aimed at connecting a variety of stakeholders with U of L researchers.

it's hard not to reflect on my 10 years here in southern Alberta and more specifically, on the many remarkable people I have met over that time.</p> <p>Dr. Jane O'Dea is one of those people and it is both ironic and fitting that we would begin our positions on the same day, 10 years ago, and will now be leaving these positions on the same day at the end of June.</p> <p>As the new Dean of the Faculty of Education, Jane had already been at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ for 10 years when she began her role. I was coming in from the outside and was fortunate to have Jane, among others, as a valuable resource to help learn about the U of L community.</p> <p>Jane was very generous in her time to me early on, and I remember fondly accompanying her on my first visit to the Blood Reserve and Red Crow Community College. That was just the beginning of the Niitsitapi Teacher Education program, one that she supported, built and encouraged her colleagues to work on diligently.</p> <p>Congratulations Madam Dean on all that you were able to accomplish during your term, and I know we will continue to see great things from you in the future.</p> <p>The spring is a time for congratulations as we honour the many people who make the U of L such an exceptional place to work and study. Dr. Leah Fowler, this year's Distinguished Teacher, is to be commended for her wonderful work in the Faculty of Education, as is<br> Dr. Dave Morris, the Ingrid Speaker Medal recipient.</p> <p>Dr. Fowler will be honoured at Spring Convocation while Dr. Morris will be recognized at the fall event.</p> <p>I also want to make particular mention of the President's Award winners, Cal Toth from the Curriculum Re-Development Centre, Kim Fowler from Housing Services and the Major Building Construction Team from Facilities. This team is led by Brian Sullivan and includes Bill Hudgins, Jason Baranec, John Federkeil, Will Tietz, Dan Sullivan, Jim Vanderzee, Rick Baceda and Al Mueller. I am satisfied especially that these awards have recognized such a distinguished group over the years.</p> <p>Now that the Michael Nolan campaign has concluded, I want to say a special thank you to Vice-President Advancement Chris Horbachewski for initiating what was the most satisfying fundraising experience with which I have ever been associated. It was a wonderful success, both in terms of money raised for student scholarships and the great amount of fun we had with the project.</p> <p>I was very happy that a student, Joshua Og, won Michael Nolan, and I've heard that he has been putting the car to good use since he took ownership. My only advice to him, other than to enjoy the car and treat it well, was to never change its name.</p> <p>I look forward to seeing many of you at the Farewell Fiesta in May, where I can<br> express my gratitude personally to all of you for how wonderful you have made my time here at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬.</p> <p>Lastly, I will be presiding over my final convocation ceremonies next month, and I urge everyone to take some time to attend one of the four ceremonies. It's an excellent way to reaffirm why we work so hard to make the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ all that it is for our students.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics

take aspects of our lives for granted, and we don&#39;t necessarily appreciate the fortunate circumstance we have of living in a prosperous country such as Canada. When we then see the devastation of a tragedy like the Haitian earthquake, it quickly brings into focus just how lucky we are.</p><p>Last week&#39;s gathering in the Atrium in support of the Haitian people was a scene we&#39;ve replicated far too many times here at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬. Whether it is in response to the shootings at Virginia Tech Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ or the terrible tsunami in Thailand, we&#39;ve come together as a community to support our fellow humans.</p><p>The outpouring of support for our Haitian brothers and sisters has been heartwarming but hardly unexpected. We here at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ have always shown a great measure of compassion, and I feel it comes from the global nature of our campus community.</p><p>We have a number of groups on campus that make such positive contributions to society, and it is especially evident during times of tragedy. From the International Students&#39; Association who manned a donation table for the Red Cross, to the Rotaract Club and its campaign to collect money for shelter boxes, to Steve Ferzacca&#39;s health science students and their Partners in Health program that has a permanent presence in Haiti, our faculty, staff and students consistently give to those less fortunate and in need.</p><p>I look forward to celebrating that international spirit at the Feb. 10 International Dinner. Always a highlight of the spring, the International Dinner features wonderful cuisine from all corners of the globe. This year&#39;s guest speaker, Kim Phuc, promises to be especially poignant. Known as &quot;The girl in the picture&quot; Phuc is an advocate for children affected by war and terror. Her message of compassion and understanding is always relevant and should make for an excellent evening.</p><p>As we approach spring, the word &#39;transition&#39; is being used often in the President&#39;s office. It&#39;s a process I feel very good about and one I expect will go very smoothly as we introduce<br />Dr. Mike Mahon to the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ and its partners.</p><p>This week both Mike and his wife Maureen are here in Lethbridge to take part in a number of events. Mike attended his first President&#39;s Executive meeting, accompanied Vice-President Finance and Administration Nancy Walker, Vice-President Advancement Chris Horbachewski, and me to Rotary Club, participated in the annual Donor Gala celebration and took part in a number of other social gatherings. Richard Westlund, our government relations director, also arranged a host of courtesy calls for Mike as he spoke with key representatives from the local, provincial and federal governments.</p><p>We&#39;re making sure Mike has the opportunity to meet people in a social, casual and informal basis as he becomes accustomed to the U of L in advance of July 1, when he assumes the Presidency. He&#39;ll officially be installed Oct. 15 and preside over his first convocation ceremony on Oct. 16.</p><p>Finally, I have heard through numerous channels that Michael Nolan is coming to town this spring. Nolan is someone who I knew many years ago, and I can&#39;t wait to see him once again.</p> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field-group-format group_related_topics field-group-div

unprecedented growth in research.<br> <br> Fitzpatrick is leaving the position of Vice-President, Research, after a decade of leadership that saw the U of L move from a position of afterthought as a research institution to one of foremost authority. To honour Fitzpatrick, a Friday, June 5 Appreciation &amp; Recognition Dinner has been organized. The RSVP deadline to attend this dinner is Friday, May 29.<br> <br> Tickets for the dinner are priced at $40 each. To attend, RSVP to Bette-Jo Kulak at 403-329-2200 or e-mail to <a href="mailto:b.kulak@uleth.ca" rel="nofollow">b.kulak@uleth.ca</a><br> <br> <em><strong>The following is a personal letter from Dr. Dennis Fitzpatrick on the occasion of his leaving the position of Vice-President (Research) after 10 years</strong></em></p> <p>When I was hired 10 years ago, the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge was not on Alberta's research map. At provincial research and advanced education meetings, the talk was of Alberta's two research universities. When the U of L applied to join the Alberta Science and Technology Foundation we had to seek approval of the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Alberta and the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Calgary because of a non-compete clause in the membership agreement. Times have changed. The notion that there are two research-intensive universities has been put to rest.</p> <p>The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬'s commitment to scholarship provided the foundation for change. Research is at the heart of a university, not just an activity for the faculty but also an integral aspect of the student learning experience. Curiosity driven and problem-based learning is important and should be incorporated in the curriculum as soon as possible. Undergraduate level research is an important teaching tool. This prepares students for employment and feeds our graduate programs. As measured by the awarding of some of Canada's most prestigious scholarships, the Julie Payette NSERC Research Scholarship and the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship, our student research programs are very successful. The hallmarks of research program success &ndash; grants, research chairs, fellowships and other honours &ndash; are too numerous to list. The Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge has become a comprehensive university.</p> <p>Timing is everything. The creation of the Canada Research Chairs program and the Canada Foundation for Innovation presented unprecedented opportunities. We accessed funds from other federal agencies, including Western Economic Diversification, to build the most important element of any research program &ndash; the human capital and supporting research infrastructure.</p> <p>The Government of Alberta &ndash; through programs managed by Advanced Education and Technology &ndash; complemented this federal support and much more. The Government of Alberta funded our first two research buildings; the Canadian Centre for Behavioral Neurosciences and the Alberta Water and Environmental Science Building. These investments changed the very nature of the institution.</p> <p>People are important. Success within the research portfolio stemmed senior leadership and commitment to scholarship. The support of Presidents Bill Cade and Howard Tennant; Vice-Presidents Andrew Hakin, Nancy Walker and Chris Horbachewski; and Deans Christopher Nicol and Jo-Anne Fiske are gratefully acknowledged. The contributions of two good friends, Vice-President Seamus O'Shea and Board of Governors Research Chair Bryan Kolb, were significant. No one works alone.</p> <p>The Office of Research Services family made the events of the last decade possible. Heartfelt thanks to Marg McKeen, Jane Allan, Penny D'Agnone, Penny Pickles, Eric Kokko, Morgan Guo, Pejman Ghanipour and Robin Schafthuizen. The contributions of my friend Christine Picken were significant.</p> <p>A decade has flown by and it is time to take my leave. It has been my honour and my privilege to serve as Vice-President Research at the Ãâ·Ñ¸£Àû×ÊÔ´ÔÚÏß¿´Æ¬ of Lethbridge.</p> <p><strong>Dr. Dennis Fitzpatrick</strong></p> </div> </div> </div> <div
