Thank you for your generous donations to Trent University. Your contributions exemplify your commitment to the continued development and growth of this University. And as we celebrate four fantastic decades this fall, Trent recognizes that it wouldn’t be what it is today, without the effort, energy and support of many.

When you give to Trent University, you support world-class teaching and research, as well as provide the tools that help make them possible. Most importantly, you support our outstanding students, as they strive for academic success. Equipped with a liberal arts and science education, Trent University graduates are poised with not only the knowledge and the know-how to start a career, but with an awareness of their role as contributing community members.

You have invested in Trent University’s mission - to provide its students with an unparalleled liberal arts and science education. We appreciate your assistance in the work we do, and are deeply grateful for your continued support.

Sincerely,

Bonnie M. Patterson Reid MordenPresident and Vice-Chancellor Chair of the Board of Governors

Thank you to the many alumni, friends, corporations and foundations who have provided support to Trent’s Building Capacity Campaign. We aim to wrap up the current phase of the $3.6 million initiative by the end of the year.

The efforts of Trent’s Fundraising Council are focused on four major areas:• completing funding for the new Peter Gzowski College and the First

Peoples House of Learning in the Enweying Building;• completing funding for the new Chemical Sciences Building and

renovations to the existing Science Complex;• support for research;• funding for graduate scholarships and student support.

The Fundraising Council plays a vital role in mobilizing the resources Trent needs to achieve its potential and maintain its position as Canada’s outstanding small university. Joining me on the Council are John Bernard, Ana Lopes, Jim McGee ’70, Board Chair Reid Morden, President and Vice Chancellor Bonnie Patterson, Kate Ramsay ’71, Graeme Ross ’86 and Ted Tremain.

In October, Trent will celebrate its 40th Anniversary and we will see the ‘concrete’ success of our fundraising efforts with the official opening of Peter Gzowski College and the Chemical Sciences Building. Thank you again for helping us turn Trent’s vision of the future into reality.

Thank You to our Current and Future Donorsfrom Walter Dodington, Chair of Trent University Foundation

Trent University Foundation supports education and research at Trent by encouraging alumni, faculty, staff and friends to remember the University in their estate planning.

We appreciate all of our donors who support Trent with annual contributions and special gifts. Trent would not be able to provide its unique educational experiences without you.

We also want to honour those who look into the future and address the unseen needs that will arise. These donors are the members of Trent University Legacy Society and others who have included Trent in their Wills. These friends understand that the future will hold challenges and opportunities and they want Trent to be financially able to meet those demands. Thank you for your foresight and confidence in Trent’s good planning, wise stewardship and solid leadership.

Planned gifts involve estate assets and often include legal documents. They involve thoughtful planning and rationale. This is why we like to connect personally with people who are considering such gifts. We want to describe the vision of the President and the Board, naming opportunities, programs and the endowment, to name just a few topics for discussion.

The fact is that we need all of our friends to support Trent in every way possible. To our current donors and to donors of future gifts, thank you.

Walter DodingtonChair, Trent University Foundation

Government Alumni support Trent’s First Peoples House of Learning

Michael Jenkin ‘68 and his wife Phyllis Colvin ‘70 are supporting Aboriginal education and

programing at Trent.Michael is Director General of Consumer

Affairs with Industry Canada. He is responsible for promoting good consumer practice in a variety of industries from banking to gas. His job involves a large amount of interaction with provinces and territories, and work with other countries, primarily through the OECD, on the development of international consumer protocols. His liberal arts training at Trent combined well with further professional training to allow him to appreciate the complexities of modern government and identify the interface between policy and politics. He hopes that the same will be true for young Aboriginal Canadians who are in the process of building new self government structures that will enable them to realize their social and cultural dreams.

Phyllis is Director of Policy for Health Canada and heavily engaged in overseeing the policy development process in Health Canada and in promoting improvement in this area through policy consulting, policy assessment and the development of frontier generic files, especially those that relate to how health systems evolve . She has in-depth policy knowledge in areas such as health care, tobacco, blood, public health and federal-provincial relations. She shares Michael’s belief that it is through the disciplines of the liberal arts that society advances and that policy imagination is forged. She would like to see advances in the range of civil society skills that will be necessary to deal with some of the challenging issues confronting Aboriginal Canadians, and applauds Trent’s leadership in Aboriginal studies.

Phyllis and Michael have made significant contributions to Trent’s First Peoples House of Learning, which shares the Enweying building along with the new Peter Gzowski College.

Peter Gzowski College Receives Generous Donation from David Morton and Patricia Owens Morton

A generous donation of $250,000 by David Morton and Patricia Owens Morton of Peterborough

will fund two initiatives at Trent University: the construction of the Morton Owens Lecture Hall in the First Peoples House of Learning at the new Peter Gzowski College, and an endowed scholarship to support a Native Studies graduate student.

Located in the First Peoples House of Learning, the new Morton Owens Lecture Hall will include the Nishinaabe name Bgwasendamowin, meaning ‘the art of hoping’. The 135-seat hall is over 2,300 square feet in size and is pre-wired for the adaptation of new projection and computer technology to be used in the delivery of lectures.

Included in the gift is $100,000 to establish the Morton Scholarship to be awarded to a deserving student in the Native Studies graduate program. The annual interest from this endowed gift will be matched twice by the Ontario Graduate Scholarship program, creating an annual $15,000 scholarship.

Patricia Morton, professor emerita at Trent University, noted: “It is exciting to see that special association of the College with Native Studies, which exemplifies Peter Gzowski’s vision of a Canada enriched by a diversity of peoples and cultures. The establishment of a graduate scholarship in Native Studies also reflects our conviction that, because history has by no means been kind or fair to First Nations peoples, it is important that they be provided with real opportunities and hope. For that reason too, we feel that it is appropriate that the new Lecture Hall’s naming be inclusive of the Nishinaabe word for ‘hope’.”

Fred and Lois Helleiner Seize the Day with Matching Funds

When the Ontario government set up the Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund (OSOTF) to

match funds donated to universities for financial assistance, the temptation to take up this opportunity was too strong to resist. We have seen, both in our own family circumstances and in our contacts with Trent University students, the benefits that financial assistance can provide to individuals pursuing higher education. With carpe diem as our motto, we contacted Trent University as soon as we heard of that fund, with the intention of assisting in the establishment of a bursary.

As Charter Members of the Trent University Legacy Society, we had already arranged a bequest to provide an endowed bursary for a needy African student in the future. Now we saw OSOTF as a vehicle for bringing a different kind of bursary into existence during our lifetimes.

Two members of our immediate family were able to complete university degrees on a part-time basis while, of necessity, pursuing full-time (or nearly full-time) employment. In both cases, the degrees led to career changes that would have been impossible to contemplate without some source of funding. One was an elementary school teacher whose further education allowed him to become a university professor. The other was employed in positions that failed to capitalize on his abilities and education, but he is now a high school teacher. It seemed fitting, therefore, for us to assist other individuals in financial difficulty to enter Trent’s new School of Education and Professional Learning as part-time students.

We are pleased that OSOTF has made that possible, and look forward to seeing the Frederick and Lois Helleiner Bursary grow to the point where other working individuals can undertake part-time studies in Education at Trent and eventually become teachers.

Fred & Lois Helleiner

The Chemical Sciences Building Receives a Generous Donation from Dr. Larry Seeley

Trent University is pleased to announce that a generous donation of $300,000 from Dr. Larry E. Seeley of Lakefield will fund the construction of the Larry E. Seeley

Computational Chemistry Laboratory.The laboratory, located in the new Chemical Sciences Building, will allow students

to visualize many aspects of modern chemistry. Molecular vibrations and geometrics, atomic shapes, protein structures, as well as mathematical functions that represent important chemical phenomena, can all be brought to life with the computer-based tools in the laboratory. The facility will place chemistry education at Trent on the cutting edge of pedagogy, offering students the opportunity to develop an understanding of important chemical concepts in a manner that was impossible before the advent of modern computing. The laboratory measures 450 square feet with workstations to accommodate 12 students and an instructor.

The Larry E. Seeley Computation Chemistry Laboratory is also home to “Sirmilik Hoodoos Panorama”, a photograph taken by Dr. Roberta Bondar in Sirmilik National Park in Nunavut. Dr. Bondar donated the photograph to Trent University at the time of her installation as Chancellor.

Dr. Seeley, Honorary Board of Governors member and former President and CEO of Lakefield Research Ltd., notes: “I’m pleased to be able to provide Trent with funding for this important initiative. From a business standpoint, we find that Trent graduates are very articulate and discuss ideas with insight and depth. That seems to be a result of the discussions they’ve had during their education at Trent, which exposes them to different points of view and independent thought. We employ many from Trent’s science programs and are impressed with the depth of their knowledge, including an understanding of the impact science has on society now and will have in the future.”

Phillips, Hager & North and Trent University

A new partnership between Phillips, Hager & North Investment Management Ltd. and Trent

University is helping Trent nurture an integrated community where students learn from a variety of disciplines and the collaborative exchange of ideas.

Through a generous donation by Phillips, Hager & North, the Case Study Room in the Enweying building of the new Peter Gzowski College has been named the PH&N Case Study Room.

Since its founding in 1964, Phillips, Hager & North has actively promoted higher education. As a leading provider of investment management services, it is the company’s belief that future social development and business growth will depend on a pool of highly trained university graduates with the ability to think critically – exactly the type of training students receive at Trent.

Trent University is pleased to recognize Phillips, Hager & North for their generous support.

The Mathematics Department Award“I think back to when I was a student at Trent. If you compare the cost of getting an education today to then, there’s a clear imbalance that needs addressing. We see such bright, deserving students, and so many of them are making a huge sacrifice just to be here. We do everything we can to help them learn while in our classrooms. At what point is it time to do more?

On the grander scale it’s hard to see how to correct this imbalance. But there is something we can do. At some point in your life you turn a corner and it just feels like it’s time to give back. The matching Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund gives you a chance to do not only that, but to make your dollars go even further. It’s better than win-win. Our students will see the benefits, and quickly.

I am thrilled with the way the Mathematics Department got on board this project when it was presented to them. I can’t wait to see the results of our contributions.”

The John Wadland Award

Faculty and friends of the Canadian Studies department are

in the process of establishing The John Wadland Award to

honour Prof. Wadland’s contribution to the program for more

than 30 years. John will be retiring in 2007 and with the help

of the provincial government’s matching gift program, the

Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund (OSOTF), it is the

department’s hope that the award will be a lasting reminder of

John’s efforts.

The Wadland Award, as its name indicates, honours

John’s pioneering contribution to the development of

interdisciplinary Canadian Studies at Trent. For more than

three decades John’s course ‘Canada: the Land’ has served as

an inspiration to more than 2,000 students, as well as to his

colleagues within Canadian Studies. In recognition of his

work within this remarkable course, the John Wadland Award

will be given each year to a student, majoring in Canadian

Studies, who is entering second year.

John came to Trent in 1972 as the first full-time faculty

member appointed in Canadian Studies. In 1977 he was

the first recipient of the Symons Award for Excellence in

Teaching at this university. Subsequently he has won major

provincial and national awards. John edited the Journal of

Canadian Studies; served for many years as the Chair of the

Canadian Studies Program; was Director of the Frost Centre

for Canadian Studies and Native Studies, during which time

he helped to develop the Trent-Carleton Ph.D. program in

Canadian Studies; and was a founding member of the Trent

Centre for Community-Based Education.

As Trent celebrates its 40th Anniversary, various

departments are setting up awards and bursaries to honour

professors who have contributed so much to our history. If

you are interested in contributing to this Award or any other,

contact Jennifer Couling at (705) 748-1011 ext. 1593.

Staff Member sets up Bursary in memory of High School Students: The Lisa Thivierge and Donny Caldwell Bursary

One afternoon in September 2003, I was told by a colleague in the office that the road I normally take home had been closed most of the day due to a serious traffic accident. It was only later that I found out that two high school students from Dr. John M. Denison Secondary School

in Newmarket had tragically been killed on their way to a campus tour at Trent. In the following days as I drove to work, I would pass the accident scene and see two small wreaths placed at the side of the road.

Having raised 4 children of our own and watched them all go off to university, my wife, Rosemary and I knew only too well the excitement and nervousness these students, Lisa Thivierge and Donny Caldwell, would have felt as they drove from their home in Newmarket to visit Trent. They would have been full of questions and doubts and anxious to see what university life would be all about. It was heartbreaking to see that potential unfulfilled.

When I discussed the idea with Rosemary of setting up a bursary in memory of Lisa and Donny, she instantly agreed. We wanted to establish a link between Trent and Denison Secondary School so that a deserving student each year would get tangible financial help to come here. With matching funds from the Ontario Student Opportunity Trust Fund, the endowment will soon grow such that the interest will fund an annual bursary.

Trent is an amazing place to work. Each September the place comes alive with new and returning students who are building educational futures that will stand them in good stead for the rest of their lives. Rosemary and I are glad that out of such a tragic event there will be a lasting memorial to Lisa and Donny.

Trent is committed to empowering people to

change our world for the better. New and improved facilities and funding are enabling Trent to attract and retain the faculty, students and partners who will help build this brighter future: from ensuring the safety of our drinking water to understanding and celebrating Canada’s First Peoples.

In response to matching gift opportunities sponsored by the Provincial and Federal governments, and in anticipation of demographic growth, the University has embarked on a major fundraising initiative: Building Capacity:

Building CapacityA fundraising Initiative for Trent University

Trent is committed to empowering peopleto change our world for the better.

In the foreground, the new Chemical Sciences Building: Enweying, housing Peter Gzowski College is in the background

Strengthening Canada’s Outstanding Small University. The campaign’s core priorities address the following four areas.

Chemical Sciences Building/Water Quality Centre and major renovations to existing Science Facility

The new Chemical Sciences Building creates 45,000-sq. ft. of additional academic space, with the Water Quality Centre forming the nucleus of the building. The Chemistry Department will

be its principal academic department, and it will house a total of 40 faculty and graduate students, 13 research laboratories, 4 chemistry teaching laboratories, 16 faculty offices, a new computational chemistry laboratory, problem session laboratory and science conference meeting room.

The existing Science Facility at Trent is being fully renovated to include new research suites, teaching laboratories and research space. The leading edge

instrumentation in the Chemical Sciences Building will be open to all Trent researchers.

Enweying: “The Way We Speak Together” Peter Gzowski College and the First Peoples House of Learning

Hosted in the Enweying Building, Peter Gzowski College provides an additional 140,000-sq. ft. of academic and residential space to the Symons Campus. True to


the founding philosophy of Trent, Peter Gzowski College provides a place for students to engage with their academic seniors in an integrated, collegial setting.

The new building houses four academic departments (Business Administration, Economics, Mathematics and Native Studies), in harmony with common areas, residential space and the First Peoples House of Learning. The College also creates a prominent location for the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. Key features of the new facility include 12 new classrooms and lecture halls, 70 new faculty offices, 250 single residence rooms, a dining hall, a gathering space and a much-needed performing space in the First Peoples House of Learning.

The First Peoples House of Learning creates a community within the University for the

celebration, exploration and development of indigenous knowledge, inviting dialogue with other traditions of learning. Together with elders, academics and planners, the architects of Peter Gzowski College have creatively woven the First Peoples House of Learning into its design. With its components distributed throughout the building, rather than grouped in one location, the encounter with Aboriginal culture is not confined to a particular geographic location. It demonstrates the role of Aboriginal peoples in the world, promoting a sense of comfort and familiarity with Aboriginal thought, culture and spirituality.

Funding Research Innovation

Research is what keeps the University on the leading edge of innovation. Support

for research enables Trent to make important contributions to societal advancement. External funds are required to match the support provided by various government granting agencies.

Support for Graduate Students

As many of today’s post-secondary faculty approach retirement, graduate funding proactively addresses the impending shortage of professors. Graduate students are also pivotal to the success of research at the University. To encourage excellence in graduate level study, external funds are needed to match the support provided by the Ontario Graduate Scholarship Program.

Thank you for “Building Capacity” at Canada’s Outstanding Small University!

A view of Enweying from the Bata Library.
