Combining vision and philanthropy can be transformational. We know that to be true at Western. Two decades ago, our reputation as a leading academic institution was slipping as our entrance average for students

lagged well below the provincial average. Western’s leaders were determined to change course. By combining

a bold strategic plan with a successful fundraising campaign, Western expanded its capacity to hire exceptional faculty, improve academic programs, create great learning spaces and provide better student amenities.

Today, our student experience is second to none, as evidenced by 11 consecutive years of achieving the highest marks for student satisfaction in The Globe and Mail Canadian University Report among the country’s large research schools. With a first-year entrance average among the highest in Canada, our academic programs are attracting bright young minds from across the nation and increasingly from around the world.

In this edition of Impact Western, you will discover how your generous support is leading to extraordinary achievements. You will read about researchers who are making remarkable discoveries and students who are excelling inside and outside the classroom.

While we are proud of what we have accomplished, with your support we can do better. Through Be Extraordinary: The Campaign for Western we have embarked on an ambitious journey to take Western to the next level. This campaign will allow us to build on our strengths and reach out to the world – to prepare the next generation of global-ready leaders.

We invite you to join in our campaign to make Western stronger. Together, we will be extraordinary.

Amit Chakma President & Vice-Chancellor

Professor Christopher Nicholls knows what he would want from a law school if he were a student today. “I would want to develop the soundest technical legal skills and

knowledge, and an informed perspective on the role of the corporate lawyer, nationally and internationally,” says Nicholls, the Stephen Dattels Chair in Corporate Finance Law.

A leap toward fulfilling that wish list, Nicholls says, is the establishment of the W. Geoff Beattie Chair in Corporate Law.

A $1.5 million gift from Geoff Beattie, LLB’84, and Torys LLP has been matched by Western to create a $3 million endowment to establish the Beattie Chair and support the Torys LLP Corporate & Securities Law Forum.

“I am pleased and privileged to make this gift to Western,” says Beattie. “By partnering with Torys LLP and Western Law alumni at Torys, we are building a cluster

in business law excellence that is unmatched in Canada, and will be essential to attract top business law faculty to Western.”

Deputy chairman of Thomson Reuters, Beattie serves as campaign chair for Be Extraordinary (Western’s fundraising campaign). His philanthropic support of Western also includes the Beattie Family Speaker Series in Business Law.

“Western Law is extremely grateful for this generous gift, which will allow us to recruit or retain an outstanding faculty member in the area of corporate law,” says W. Iain Scott,

Western Law dean. “It also sustains our extremely successful Torys LLP Corporate & Securities Law Forum, which prepares our students for the business law field.”

“Great students and faculty come to where other great students and faculty are, and our hope is that this gift will act as a catalyst to build a sustained business law capability in Canada,” adds Beattie.

Building excellence in business law

Matching Chair Program As part of the Be Extraordinary campaign, Western has set its sights on becoming a world-class leader in research by creating 100 new endowed chairs by 2020. The W. Geoff Beattie Chair in Corporate Law is the sixth chair announced in the campaign. Others include:

“Our hope is that this gift will act as a catalyst to build a sustained business law capability in Canada.” Geoff Beattie, LLB’84

When Mark Daley talks about data being a huge commodity today, he has data from popular culture to back him up.

“Every second, the amount of data that is created on Twitter’s public timeline is at least the equivalent to the entire Harry Potter series,” says Daley, a principal investigator at The Brain and Mind Institute at Western. “That’s a colossal amount of data.”

Carry that example over to Daley’s neuroscience research and the data collected is astronomical. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Daley investigates changes in the oxygen levels of blood in the brain, and how the flow creates activity in the brain. From the millions of bits of data generated from a scan, he creates computer models to see how the brain evolves and changes over time. These models can help researchers understand large-scale aspects of complex brain disorders such as autism and schizophrenia.

“For one research subject, I could have a terabyte of data (one trillion bytes),” says Daley. “There’s so much data generated that it takes weeks to analyze results from a single test.”

Now through a landmark $65 million contribution of computers and software to Western by IBM Canada, Daley is able to make sense of large-scale data more quickly.

IBM is providing Western with leading research tools, in the form of analytics software that accelerates the processing capabilities of its revolutionary hardware to drive a research cloud platform. The investment will help Western researchers extract relevant information from large data sets and turn the data into easily interpretable metrics to advance the critical questions that researchers are asking.

For Daley, this means he can receive real-time data as he is conducting an fMRI scan on a research

subject, permitting him to adapt his work in the moment. “Because of the IBM software and hardware, I can see what’s happening in the brain in real time and then go to Plan B, if what I’m trying to do is not working,” he says.

Mining data for better answersDaley is just one researcher who will benefit from

IBM’s gift. “Almost any discipline across Western can use the resource that IBM has provided,” he says. “Today’s researchers – from science to humanities

– have access to a colossal amount of data and we need to make sense of it.”

“From fMRI scans and watershed monitors to seismic readings and wind patterns, supercomputing holds tremendous promise to help us make complex research decisions more quickly, while mining data for better answers,” says Western President Amit Chakma.

Michael Bauer, a computer science professor at Western, agrees. “In many, many circumstances, data will become the core problem of the next decade, not in terms of generating data but in terms of what you do with it and how you actually glean

useful information from it,” says Bauer. Western will not only receive a system that

researchers can use to examine the data problem but also significant software contributions from IBM, which are necessary to extract this kind of information on a large scale.

“This remarkable investment will provide Western researchers with the tools to explore the infinite possibilities of agile and cloud computing,” says Chakma. “IBM is recognized as a world leader in technological innovation and infusing their intelligence into our systems will no doubt produce exciting results.”

Making sense of BIG data

“Together, we are supporting fundamental research and developing new techniques to increase the speed of high performance computing systems to better capture Internet-scale data and apply analytics to tackle critical challenges with our cities, water, energy, and health-care systems.” John Lutz, PresidentIBM Canada

Unravelling the mysteries of the brain

As a young boy, Henry Dunn held an intriguing fascination,

at least for most children. He was curious about the brain and how it worked.

“I loved thinking about ‘mind over matter’ as a kid, and wondering to what extent the mind can control things,” he confesses. “I’ve always found anything about the brain to be endlessly interesting.”

This boyhood curiosity has definitely prepared Henry for his current research as a PhD student

in physiology at Western – exploring the molecular mechanisms that underlie stress, anxiety, depression and other mood disorders. “The more we understand the brain, the better we can understand depression and anxiety and how to provide better treatment,” says Henry, who is the first recipient of the Jonathan and Joshua Memorial Graduate Scholarship in Mental Health Research.

In the lab at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry, Henry is focused on G protein-coupled receptors, which have a role in regulating all aspects

of physiology, including mood and behaviour. These

receptors are the targets of almost half of modern

pharmaceuticals. Henry’s research group has

demonstrated that a “stress receptor” in the brain is capable

of enhancing the activity of an “anxiety and depression receptor.”

Interestingly, they found that the cross-talk between these two receptors was

abolished when interrupting the interaction with a special subset of proteins.

His current work explores how these specific proteins can regulate particular receptors in the

brain. “By better understanding the molecular mechanisms behind mood disorders, this research

can pave the way for new drug design – potentially limiting the unwanted side-effects of modern psychiatric

drugs,” he says. Ultimately, research conducted by Henry is advancing

discoveries to improve the treatment of depression and anxiety. That goal makes his student award for mental health research particularly meaningful.

“I’m grateful to the donor for making this award possible,” he says. “There is limited financial assistance for students conducting research, so this scholarship provides great support to my work.”

Receiving the scholarship has also connected Henry to the benefits of his work. “I spend my days in the lab and can miss seeing the effect of what I’m doing,” he says. “So to meet the donor and know of his desire for mental health research creates a full picture for me – what I’m doing may better people’s lives.”

Henry Dunn’s research will help advance treatment of mental health.


For Tim Compeau, an unexpected find led to a lifelong fascination. After graduating from high school, Tim took

a job at a museum in his hometown of Gananoque, Ont.

Rummaging through the museum, he discovered a suitcase filled with hand-written letters. Flipping through them, he found correspondence from the 1780s penned by Joel Stone, the loyalist founder of Gananoque (in eastern Ontario).

“For the rest of the summer, I got to explore these 200-year-old letters, put them in order and archive them,” says Tim, who was 19 years old at the time. “That was a formative experience which left a lasting impression on me.”

So lasting that Tim is now completing a PhD in history at Western. The inaugural recipient of the Eleta Britton Graduate Scholarship in History, Tim focuses on the British loyalists who left the U.S. after the American Revolution and moved to Canada.

“I’m exploring the loyalists through a cultural lens and how they perceived their exile from the States,” he says. “Those loyal to Britain faced a concerted campaign of humiliation in the press and on the streets. They were insulted for their

political views and had land and rights taken from them – they were politically deceased.

“They lost everything, their sense of honour and duty and their status as men, which goes to the heart of how they identified themselves. My research fleshes out these men as three-

dimensional people, and will hopefully shed some light on how their experiences influenced the cultural development of new settlements in Canada.”

Thanks to the scholarship he received, Tim went to the University of New

Brunswick to explore the archives of loyalist history. While there, he

searched through reels of microfilm and found the last key documents to complete his dissertation.

“Receiving this generous award provided extraordinary help when I needed it most,” says Tim. “I’m grateful to be the first recipient,

knowing that this award will help historians do more in the future.”

Established by renowned historian Allan Bogue, the Eleta Britton Award

honours his mother and supports graduate research in Canadian and

American history. A graduate of Western (BA’43, MA’46), Bogue received an honorary degree from the University in 1973.

Q & A An interview with Dean of Science Charmaine Dean

In 2011, Charmaine Dean began her tenure as the Dean of Science at Western. We sat down with her recently

to talk about the strengths, challenges and priorities of faculty and students. Here’s part of the conversation.

Q. What do you consider to be the strengths of Western Science?A. What the world needs are leaders and innovators who can work across disciplines – from geology to arts to medicine – to bring about answers to global problems. No longer can we function in isolation; we need to collaborate across boundaries to advance solutions. Western provides an ideal environment to foster this kind of collaboration.

Q. Why do you say that? What does Western offer that fuels cross-disciplinary learning?A. We attract stellar students and give them flexible options in choosing a number of combined programs that promote interdisciplinary study. If a student wants to take a combined degree in geology and business or in computer science and humanities, that’s possible at Western. Because of our quality teaching and experiential learning, students are well prepared to deliver solutions and excel as leaders. They have an edge when they graduate.

Our professors also participate in a range of ongoing, productive collaborations that enhance research for faculty and result in funding for Western. Among our notable research programs are the Centre for Planetary Science & Space Exploration and the Centre for Environment & Sustainability. These

interdisciplinary programs provide superior training for our students and set the stage for the research that’s needed in years to come.

Q. What are some notable research projects that highlight the Faculty’s activities?

A. Researchers have discovered critical mechanisms by which plants sense and respond to changes in their environment. This has led to major discoveries related to climate studies and provided breakthroughs in agriculture and health – such as breeding plants with increased resistance to freezing and intense sunlight.

Our experts in computational and mathematical sciences have made an impact in diverse fields – how to apply financial mathematics to energy issues, how to use models to predict the spread of disease, and how to apply data modelling to biological problems.

The work in earth sciences – from understanding how planets form and evolve to developing techniques for exploration in harsh environments to creating technologies to analyze satellite data – has led to major discoveries by our researchers. These advances have made a positive impact on industries in many sectors of the Canadian economy.

Q. For the Be Extraordinary campaign, how can donors support the Faculty’s goal of raising $50 million?A. Our fundraising goals are critical to our future success. We want to secure research and academic chairs in mining and exploration studies, planetary science, medical imaging, and computational and actuarial sciences. These all link to scientific development that will foster discovery that responds to needs in society. We also want to invest in exceptional training and skill development that distinguishes our graduates as being at the forefront of solving major challenges and realizing advances in research that will have a real-world impact.

Faculty Focus: Science


Ask geoscientist Robert Linnen what his research is about, and he’ll hold out a rock that fits in the palm of his hand. The rock looks non-descript enough, until the light hits the

surface edges. That’s when the gold flecks sparkle. “I’m interested in trying to find innovative ways to discover

more gold,” says Linnen, associate professor of earth sciences at Western.

That may sound easy, but it’s not. The miniscule flecks are trapped in the rock.

The same challenge is found for other natural resources. “Most of the surface deposits for natural resources – from minerals to petroleum – have already been discovered,” says Linnen. “But world demand continues to rise while exploration success rates decrease.

“We now have to be smarter as we look deeper to explore and uncover resources. We need to know more about how natural resources are concentrated and formed, and take that knowledge to find out what’s promising. That will take smarter geoscientists to find the natural resources of the future.”

To meet this challenge, Western and the Department of Earth Sciences launched Resource Geoscience Western (RGW) in 2007. For more than five decades, Western has mentored some of the most successful geologist-explorers in

Canada and around the world. Now, to meet the growing demands for a new generation

of field-ready geoscientists, the RGW program is raising $8 million for research chairs, fellowships and resources. “A core part of RGW is to prepare students to be critical thinkers and problem solvers,” says Linnen, “who can use their research skills and professional training to find and develop new resources.”

One critical component of the program’s success is its field schools. From trips to northern Ontario or to overseas destinations (such as Spain, Turkey, South Africa and the Philippines), students learn outside of the classroom. “They need to see the rocks and formations firsthand, and apply their classroom experience to real-world problems in the field,” says Linnen.

These field experiences, plus on-campus workshops, also connect students to industry partners. “The mentoring our students receive from professional geoscientists gives them the training they need to succeed,” says Linnen.

To learn more about supporting Western Science, including Resource Geoscience Western, contact Paula Luchak, Alumni & Development Officer, Faculty of Science ([email protected] and 519.661.2111 ext. 86642).

BETWEEN A roCK AND A ROCKY PLACE

Robert Linnen and his colleagues at Resource Geoscience Western prepare smarter geoscientists with a rock solid education.


In an unforgettable moment, Lauren Flynn touched something time had forgotten.

As she pulled apart a clump of soil dug from an archeological site in northern England, she discovered a nearly 2,000-year-old boot. Or more accurately, she found the sole of a large boot once worn by a Roman soldier.

“I was almost in tears to be able to touch something from the ancient world,” says Lauren, BA’12, “and to see the footprint of the Roman soldier on the sole, that was a phenomenal experience that I will never forget.”

Experience is what the Vindolanda Field School at Western is all about. In the summer of 2012, Lauren and seven of her classmates dug through mud at the Vindolanda site in northern England to unearth artifacts at a first-century Roman fort near Hadrian’s Wall.

“The ancient world can be a distant subject to some, but when students venture out of the classroom and participate in archeological digs, history comes alive,” says Beth Greene, assistant professor of classics at Western. “They experience where people lived, ate, worked and even threw

birthday parties – and how these people are quite similar to us.”

While giving students the chance to practice excavation techniques such as how to hold a trowel and how to take environmental samples, the School offers evening lectures and weekend field trips that ground the hands-on archeological experiences, while also teaching life lessons.

“At Vindolanda, the students quickly discover they are outsiders who need to respect the cultural significance and sensitivity of the place and people,” says Alex Meyer, assistant professor of classics at Western. “This awareness can translate into so many different areas of their lives.”

Fourth-year classics student Sarah Taylor agrees, saying she became more confident in her studies through her Vindolanda experience.

“Every day I woke up grateful to have such an amazing adventure as a student – learning what it means to be an archeologist and realizing this is something I want to do,” says Sarah, who’s now exploring options to attend graduate school.

When some Western students participated in an archeological dig, they found more than they expected.

Making it possibleFor Lauren and Sarah, getting to

Vindolanda was a team effort. Part of that team included donors such as Audrey Amo, BA’69, MA’70. She contributed to the Global Opportunities (GO) Awards program, which provides scholarships for Western students to learn outside of Canada.

“My heart belongs to the ancient world,” says Amo, a retired teacher and principal in Toronto, who once took her students on field trips to Rome. “Knowing what going to Vindolanda could do for students by offering them concrete learning, I knew I wanted to help them experience the wonders of art, history and archeology – and make a difference.”

Every day during the Field School, Amo followed their adventures on the student blog. “I watched them blossom as they discovered the Roman world coming alive right before their eyes,” says Amo, whose GO Award made it possible for Lauren to hold history in her hands.

“That scholarship meant everything to me,” says Lauren, who hopes to volunteer at Vindolanda in the future. “Because I could go, I’ve become more sure of myself and I realize now how much I want to work with artifacts.”

For Greene and Meyer, the Field School’s co-ordinators, contributions to student awards are epic. All of the students who travelled to Vindolanda last year received a scholarship.

“They were acutely aware of the generosity that made their experiences possible,” says Greene, “Having someone

standing behind them, supporting them in their studies is priceless.”

As priceless as holding an ancient shoe in your hand.

tuning in to create music

Elaine Adair, BMus’73, MA’78, credits her time at Western for deepening her love of music. “I had some of the most inspiring times of my life at Western,” says the musicologist turned lawyer and now Supreme Court of British Columbia judge. “I hope to give music students the opportunity to experience the same.”

That desire led Adair to support a master class for music performance and piano technician students at the Tune In to Western V Piano Conference hosted by the Don Wright Faculty of Music. During the master class, Ulrich Gerhartz of Steinway London, a world-renowned authority who understands the piano inside and out, worked with John Perry, a musician and teacher, to demonstrate what happens to make music on stage.

“I was impressed by Ulrich’s skills in analyzing the personality of the piano, listening to the needs of each musician and bringing the two together in perfect harmony,” says Adair. “By supporting this master class, that’s exactly what I wanted students to see – a world-class technician working with musicians to prepare an instrument for a concert.”

Adair is no stranger to supporting Western. She has created the Philip Downs Scholarship in Music History to honour her mentor at Western.

“As a student, I learned so much from Philip, whose passion for classical music was infectious,” she says.

Investing in environmental solutions

In the next five years, Newalta Corporation will contribute $1 million to Western to discover technologies that protect the environment and create value from perceived wastes generated by industrial sectors such as oil, gas, mining and manufacturing.

An additional $125,000 will support the Newalta Corporation Ontario Graduate Scholarships for graduate students in the Faculty of Engineering who focus on environmental engineering research.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with North America’s leading provider of resource-recovery solutions,” says Janice Deakin, provost and vice-president (academic) at Western (pictured above, right). “We will be able to provide unique learning opportunities for our students and researchers, while working to bring innovative, environmental technologies to market more quickly.”

As a industry-leading company, Newalta is committed to novel research. Harry Wells, vice-president of technology development (pictured above, left), says working together with Western will yield significant results. “This partnership is an excellent opportunity to support the leaders of tomorrow,” says Wells. “The leading-edge research here will help increase technologies we can evaluate and offer customers in future.”

Supporting First nations students

Peter Baldwin, BA’62, and his late wife Margery, BA’63, have a long history of giving to Western. That commitment grew in 2012, when Baldwin contributed $600,000 to support First Nations programs and indigenous study initiatives.

“This gift continues our commitment to Western and celebrates my wife,” says Baldwin (pictured above, second from right). “It also reflects our desire to help address an ever-increasing need.”

Part of the gift will provide entrance bursaries for First Nations students who are pursuing undergraduate studies, as well as support an Ontario Graduate Scholarship.

Other funds will be devoted to First Nations resources at Western Libraries, including the acquisition of rare materials that will support research and teaching across many academic departments. Additional monies are committed to the Indigenous Services Centre to help break down educational barriers for First Nations students.

“When I learned how Western provides a summer camp for First Nations youth, I was blown away by the idea,” says Baldwin, of the Access Transitions Program, which brings 11- to 14-year-olds to Western for a week. “This program is a great way to inspire young people and show them that attending university is possible.”
