Dear reader,

RoSS PaulPresident, University of [email protected]

one of the perquisites of moving to a new community through a job change is to discover new parts of this beautiful country of ours. my last three positions have afforded me the opportunity to get to know and love northern alberta, so-called northern ontario (Sudbury is barely north of Portland, Oregon!) and, more recently, ontario’s extreme southwest.

alberta brought big skies, brilliant northern lights and subtle, though beautiful, colour changes

over the seasons. the sudbury region brought me back home to the northern shield lakes i had

so enjoyed canoeing in northern Quebec in earlier days, and introduced me to such canadian

gems as manitoulin island, the french river and Georgian Bay.

one of the great pleasures of living in Windsor has been discovering the wonders of essex

county, an area flatter than northern alberta. it features a burgeoning wine country, the magic

of Pelee island and the spectacular bird sanctuary at Point Pelee.

the faculty of science has recently capitalized on our proximity to this site by securing a

gift of some 22 acres of nearby land from leamington town council to establish an

environmental research centre that will be unique in canada. this edition of vieW features

interviews with Dean of science rick caron and professors Dan mennill and Dan heath, who

present their plans for this exciting initiative.

the university has also done very well with teaching awards, the most recent being

leadership in faculty teaching (lift) awards to richard frost in computer science and Donna

eansor in law, as well as the placement of two of the top 10 finalists in tvo’s Best lecturer

competition – Psychology’s Ken cramer and education’s finnian cherian (whose lectures were

to be televised on tvo on march 22 and march 23). however, it is not only our faculty who

teach well, as will quickly be evident from the article on education alumnus David Watkins, who

recently received a Governor General’s award for excellence in teaching canadian history.

this is my last Dear reader column. i have very much enjoyed introducing each edition of

vieW to you on this page, and i will continue to savour the magazine so ably edited by Jennifer

Barone in the future, when i will probably be introduced to its contents by my successor,

Dr. alan Wildeman. enjoy!

Farewell


research

Nursing Professor lucia Yiu

In 2005, nursing Professor lucia yiu and colleagues Dr. uzo

anucho (social Work) and Dr. nombuso Dlamini (education)

undertook a project that examines promoting access to breast

health for ethno–cultural communities in the Windsor area.

the intent is to empower women with the education and skills to

better their own health. “We want to learn from the experiences of

women in Windsor-essex county so that we can better work with our

community partners to make health services more optimal,” says yiu.

“Windsor is the fourth-largest ethno-cultural community in

canada. Windsor-essex county has a high incidence of cancer rates

– not just breast cancer. each week, 10-12 women are diagnosed

with breast cancer. ethno-cultural women have more deaths because

they wait too long before having any screening done. Breast cancer

prevention is, therefore, a health priority.”

the project, which received about $200,000 in funding from the

canadian Breast cancer foundation, focused on four groups: middle

eastern, south asian (indian), east asian (china, thailand, Japan),

and african.

“When we look at accessibility to health services, culture is a

determinant,” says yiu. “and it’s not just language.” for example, an asian

woman considers it taboo to expose her breast to someone else and may

be reluctant to have a clinical breast examination or a mammogram.

“another reason i’ve seen is discrimination,” says yiu.

community partners include the multicultural council of Windsor-

essex (a sponsoring agency), ontario Breast screening Program (oBsP),

Windsor-essex county health unit, Windsor Women Working With

immigrant Women (W5), ymca, sandwich community health centre,

south essex community council, and the new canadian centre.

the project mapped out available resources including teaching

materials in the necessary languages, and health service staff who

understand the clients.

a survey sent to physicians and community agencies determined

that some do have translated materials (54 percent) and that there is

some degree of translation services offered (39 percent). a common

theme was the need to promote cultural competence training for

service providers and to offer culturally sensitive programs by

trained members from the same communities with information and

material in their own languages.

interviews with 20 women indicated that cultural factors,

comfort levels, and awareness of the health care system do impact

breast health. many expressed a desire to have a female physician

and to see doctors who would take time to discuss things with them.

“We now hope to develop education and promotion strategies

for physicians and local agencies. that’s why we have community

forums. We want to empower the community to know what they

should do and when to ask what questions, and to tell them that it’s

okay to talk about breast health,” says yiu.

Pre- and post-test evaluation of the 18 breast health workshops

(offered in five languages) showed positive intervention effects

for the women in all areas, including general breast cancer and

screening knowledge, perceived benefits to clinical breast exams and

to mammograms, as well as perceived barriers to both clinical breast

exams and mammograms.

the project shows health and newcomer organizations how

to deliver culturally competent health programs in breast health

promotion, says yiu. the findings will also contribute to the

development of a comprehensive breast health promotion action

plan for a multicultural community for Windsor-essex county.

“We will try to take the initiative beyond Windsor – our goal is

to create a template. Whatever we’ve found that works, we will share

with other communities. that’s the joy of doing research, you learn

from your experience and share with other people,” says yiu. ❍v

Barriers to Breast HealthBy Jennifer Barone

alumni profile

Why are you in School?

By PAUL RIGGI

that is one of the first questions David Watkins Ba ’87, Bed ’89

asks his black students at toronto’s Weston collegiate institute. often, they don’t have an answer.

By the end of the school year, he says, they understand that they are responsible for their own history and that, “I’m here for me.”


“nothing is taboo,” David Watkins Ba ’87, Bed ’89 says of his teaching

methods. his techniques include having students create a comic book

superhero to address problems exclusive to black people, discussing

what he calls the “hero deficit” in their community, creating a family

tree and relating the motivation and rationale of the slave trade to

their own experience.

for Watkins, who often has other students sit in on his class, it’s all

about properly presenting history. those who feel they have a stake in

the subject matter find it exciting and will want to learn, he says.

that’s especially important in teaching african-canadian history,

where he starts by discussing students’ current situation and then has

them work back to deconstruct their story.

he says too many black students harbour negative stereotypes

and perceptions of themselves and he refers to their “damaged

culture”, based on video games and movies.

By deconstructing and understanding their history, he says,

students feel a sense of pride and self-worth.

five years ago, Watkins’ innovative teaching methods led him to

return to his alma mater, the university of Windsor, where he helped

organize the first african Diaspora youth conference. about 70

canadian and u.s. high school students of african descent attended

that first conference. and on may 11 and 12, he anticipates 250

students from toronto, Windsor and Detroit will discuss the topic of

the african Diaspora, their common heritage, life and career

aspirations and visit area museums and other venues. this year’s

theme is sankofa (which, in the Akan language of Ghana, means

roughly go back and take): learning from the past to build the future.

Watkins says the idea for the conference grew out of an alumni

gathering in toronto. Working with Dr. cecil houston, Dean of arts

and social sciences, and high school counsellors John solarski and

marna macPherson of the toronto District school Board, the group

tried to find a way to help the mostly black students on the verge of

dropping out of school find their identity and continue their studies

at the post-secondary level.

the result was a “life-changing” experience summed up by one of

Watkins’ students, who said the conference made him feel like not just

a black student, but a student.

for Watkins, the conference is especially satisfying because it hits

home. his mother leverda and sister abby are also uWindsor alumnae,

and he holds fond memories of his own “challenging and rewarding”

experience: “you weren’t just a student number, you were an actual

student.”

Watkins’ approach to african-canadian history includes strong

support for the controversial black-focused or african-centred schools

initiative being considered in toronto. its proponents cite a near 50

percent dropout rate among blacks and the need for an alternative school

or schools that focuses on their own culture, history and spiritual identity.

to be sure, critics, including Premier Dalton mcGuinty, argue that the

proposal smacks of segregation. newspaper columnist ike awgu adds

statistics of dropout or failure rates are not useful because the term

“black” masks differences between different communities. for instance,

he argues canadian-born blacks from specific foreign nationalities

excel in high school while others consistently underperform.

for his part, Watkins says that such a school would not necessarily

have an entirely all-black student body and faculty, and he describes the

movement as an idea whose time has come.

he objects to the argument that a black-focused school is

segregationist. he says his mother grew up in arkansas, and was

subjected to forced segregation; students at the toronto mainly black

schools would attend by choice.

Black-focused studies would, for example, include writer langston

hughes and poet maya angelou in its literature curriculum, instead of

just William shakespeare, said Watkins.

he uses the analogy of a good football coach who, instead of

putting a player who isn’t prepared into the game, takes him aside and

works with him until he’s ready. that helps the whole team, he says.

Watkins summarized his position on the need to staunch the flow

of students dropping out of school in a recent tv panel discussion.

he says one parent told him she wanted her kids to attend the same

school as his. “i said i do, too – in university.” ❍v

David Watkins, one of five canadians to receive the 2007 Governor General’s award for excellence in teaching canadian history, favours an unconventional approach in the classroom.

“You should have been there!” “I wish we’d have gone!” “What a great time we had!”

that was the buzz after the school of music celebrated its 40th

anniversary with an evening of music, dinner and dancing at the

skyline room at the st. clair centre for the arts.

“the music school was so proud of how all the student

performers put on a fabulous show,” says music school Director

sandi curtis. “People can’t stop talking about how great it was.”

Proceeds from the celebration will support music student

scholarships.

alumni mary ann marshall and Janis radford had worked three

years ago on a smaller music school production at the art Gallery

of Windsor. the pair’s enthusiasm spearheaded the bigger and

better event held January 19.

“it is exciting to see what’s happening and how things have

changed at the school of music,” says radford. “my music degree

has paid off in spades. i am delighted to help share music with

others and show off the wonderful talents of our students today.”

the music at Play on was a constant parade of soloists and

ensembles, with performances from students, graduates and

instructors. following dinner, the evening culminated with dance

music by the university of Windsor Jazz ensemble.

already, organizers are talking about doing it again in 2010.


Dr. michael Zin, who died in august 2006,

dedicated his professional life to business

education at the university of Windsor. he

was a graduate of the first business class from

assumption university of Windsor in 1955

and immediately joined the teaching staff of

his alma mater in 1956, while also undertaking

his graduate studies, first at the university of

michigan, and then at michigan state

university, where he studied for his PhD.

the odette school of Business has

launched a special fundraising campaign,

the michael Zin memorial Project, headed

by alumnus Patrick Palmer Bcomm ’70 and

Dean allan conway. funds from the michael

Zin memorial Project will outfit the meeting

room with a stock ticker tape and two lcD

screens to provide odette students with

up-to-the-minute business and financial

information from around the globe.

“this space is becoming the hub of

undergraduate student gatherings here at

odette, so it made sense to name it in mike’s

honour,” says Dean conway. “he was indeed

a figure of legendary proportions here at

odette, due to four decades of work that he

devoted to our school—when it was originally

part of assumption university, and then the

faculty of Business administration at the

university of Windsor, before finally becoming

the odette school of Business at the university

of Windsor. We are thrilled to be naming and

furbishing this space in his honour.”

on display in the room will also be an oil

painting of the former dean and a showcase

of the many works he authored so that current

odette students can gain some insight into

Dr. Zin. in fact, various editions of his books

have sold about two million copies. the main

floor room, which can accommodate about

150, also boasts wireless computer connectivity,

and a number of computer terminals, as well

as meeting space and work space for student

groups and individuals.

in the short time since the campaign began,

$100,000 has been raised.

a donor recognition wall is being created

for the building’s lobby, with a dedication

ceremony planned for this september.

Dr. Michael Zin, with

Meeting Room.


friends and colleagues are contributing to

the Dr. lee Brown fund, established to help

finance construction of the new home of the

schulich school of medicine & Dentistry –

Windsor campus, which opens in september.

lee Brown had been a family doctor in

Windsor for more than five decades. he was

committed to practising medicine in the

southernmost region of ontario, where

family doctors are unusually scarce. When

the Windsor program begins in 2008,

however, enrollment of undergraduate

medical students at the schulich school will

be 24 per year, with 96 students graduating

in each four-year cycle. uWindsor administrators and community leaders say they expect a

significant proportion of graduates will set up practices in the region.

so esteemed was Dr. Brown that as word of his death spread, his family was inundated

with accolades from patients, colleagues and friends.

“i was a little flabbergasted that so many people have been making donations in his

memory to so many causes,” says his widow louise. “i have received some wonderful notes

from so many patients whom i never knew.”

many friends were aware of Dr. Brown’s strong commitment to medical education.

“lee was thrilled about the idea of educating more doctors right here in Windsor and he

would be gratified to know that people are making contributions to medical education in his

memory,” says louise.

“my father would also be honoured to learn that future doctors will be made aware of the

dedication to medicine that he demonstrated throughout his career,” said his son, michael.

he liked the practice of medicine, it was important to him, it was important to the people he

served; he took an oath and the oath was for a lifetime.”

he added: “my father was the country doctor who lived in the city. in the 1960s and

’70s, he made a lot of house calls, and he still made some house calls right up to the end; he

was committed to doing the right thing every day for everybody.”

“canadian universities have a great opportunity to produce doctors like those of my

father’s generation. frankly, it is my opinion that canadian medical schools produce some of

the finest physicians per capita in the world.”

“i believe lee was one of the last doctors to go to work every day in a shirt and tie,” said

louise, adding: “he was the kind of doctor who was there when people were born through to

when their lives ended – the doctors of the future should know that this is the tradition that

they are entering when they take their oath.”

Remembering Dr. lee Brown

Fundraising and construction of the

$24-million Medical Education Building

are the full responsibility of the University

of Windsor. In the new facility, which opens

this fall, students will benefit from an

established and exceptional program that

is patient-centred and inter-professional

across health science disciplines at

UWindsor and medicine disciplines at the

Schulich School. the building was

designed to enable enrollment to double to

48 students a year, providing a total of

192 students in each four-year cycle.

the Office of University Advancement

has set up a trust fund for contributions in

honour of Dr. Brown. All donations are tax

deductible and will be dedicated to the

new Medical Education Building. Please

make cheques payable to the University of

Windsor, indicating that the gift is to

honour Dr. Lee Brown.

D’amore said that he hopes that his leadership will encourage

other italians in this community to contribute. owner of D’amore

construction and Precision Builders ltd., he has enjoyed a

successful career and says that he feels a responsibility to give back

to his community. he adds that the campaign to ensure that italian

studies is offered at the university in perpetuity was a perfect fit

based on his beliefs and values.

“i have always found Pat to be a man of integrity, honesty and

honour,” says campaign chair raffaele meo. he added: “for more

than 50 years, he did business very successfully with simple

handshakes. in his own quiet way, he has helped many people and

organizations in need. his significant gift to the university of

law conference room to get makeover

for more than three decades, supreme court Justices, visiting

diplomats and scholars, esteemed barristers, talented students and

distinguished faculty have conferred and debated across the long

conference room table in the ianni faculty of law Building. But the

21st century is the era of smart boards and broadband communications.

it is time for the traditional conference room at the law school to

get a makeover.

and that’s what will happen this year, thanks to a gift of

$200,000 from law alumnus Peter farmer, president and ceo of

Denison mines inc. farmer is an ardent supporter of Windsor law.

a previous donation of stock valued at $112,000 created the Berrill

and farmer Bursary.

the conference room is used for workshops and a range of

meetings by groups of faculty and students. With planning for the

renovation project just beginning, it is still not clear exactly how the

room will look, though it is already stirring great anticipation among

everyone involved.


athletics appointmentsSteve Hart Director of Lancer Soccer Operations;

Angelo verardi appointed Women’s Soccer Head Coach

university of Windsor is pleased

to announce the appointment of

steve hart as director of soccer

operations. hart will remain

head coach of the lancer men’s

soccer program, as well.

“i am very pleased to have

after only two seasons with the lancer men’s soccer program,

hart has restored its credibility and built a team that is among the

most competitive in the oua.

in 2006, hart was named the oua men’s soccer coach of the

year after guiding the lancers to a fourth place finish in the West

fans enjoy a true lancer experience

in January, sam uprichard and his four-year old son, sammy, tasted

the life of a lancer student-athlete. as winners of the true lancer

experience contest, the uprichards joined the men’s and women’s

basketball teams when they went to london to play the Western

mustangs.

the adventure began as the teams boarded the new lancer bus

at 1:30 p.m. for the drive up the 401. sammy said he was surprised

with an initial treat – the teams chose to watch alvin and the

chipmunks as the in-bus movie.

after dropping the women’s team at Western’s alumni hall for

warm-up, sam and sammy went with the team to a swiss chalet for

dinner with the team. they said the meal was fun and entertaining,

as players and coaches engaged father and son in stories and jokes.

later, sam and sammy cheered the lancers on from their front

row seats, as the women put up a valiant effort against Western,

while the men defeated the mustangs in a close-scoring game.

twelve hours after pulling out of the st. Denis centre parking

lot, the bus rolled back into Windsor. as the teams high-fived

sammy on the way off the bus, he was asked if he had a good time.

though half asleep, the four-year old managed a huge smile, and

replied with an enthusiastic “yes.”

Sammy Uprichard, centre, hangs out with the team.

Women’s Basketball honoured for thrilling 2007-08 season

following a thrilling 2007-08

season that saw the Windsor

lancers Women’s Basketball team

qualify for the oua West

championship for the first time in

program history, three lancers

were honoured with prestigious

post-season awards.

Dranadia roc was named a

cis all-canadian and an oua

first team all-star, iva Peklova

was named the oua rookie of

the year and named to the cis

all-rookie team and laura

mullins was named to the oua

all-rookie team.

roc, a second-year guard from montreal, Quebec had another

outstanding season for the lancers as she led them to their highest

win total (14) in team history.

Widely considered to be one of the top players in canada,

Dranadia averaged 16.6 points per game this season en route to being

named a cis all-canadian and an oua first team all-star.

Peklova, a native of Prague, czech republic had a tremendous

rookie season with the lancers as her size and skill made her one of

the toughest match-ups in the country.

she was a dangerous scoring threat as she averaged an

impressive 10.2 points per game. iva also rebounded the ball

extremely well, finishing 3rd in canada in that category with 9.7

rebounds per game.

mullins, a first-year forward from tecumseh, ont. also made an

immediate impact on the lancer program in only her rookie season.

a starter throughout her freshman year, laura averaged a solid

9.2 points per game while also hauling in 3.8 rebounds per game. she

led the team in field goal percentage at 45.8 percent in being named

to the oua all-rookie team.

together, the three helped lead the lancer squad on a eight-game

conference winning streak and to 3rd place overall in the oua West

Division.

as a result, the lancer Women hosted their first-ever home

playoff game at the st. Denis centre and earned a trip to the oua

West championship final, also a program first.

MESSaGE FRoM THE PRESIdENT

it is with great enthusiasm that we look forward to realizing the

new capital development now under way.

the medical education building

• scheduled to open its doors to its first 24 students in September

the renovations to and expansion of the 40-year old faculty of

human Kinetics facility, including:

• a state-of-the-art classroom for 220 students;

• computer and undergraduate instructional labs and seminar rooms;

and

• graduate and undergraduate lounge and study area.

it is hoped that the project will be completed in 2009.

and the new state-of-the-art centre for engineering innovation. among the key features are:

• a modern, environmentally sustainable hub for classrooms, labs and office space for an

expanded student and faculty complement;

• large, high-bay facilities with labs and independently secure modules leased by industrial

partners for proprietary research activities.

these initiatives are clearly evidence of a strong leadership thinking forward.

speaking of leadership, on behalf of our Board of Directors, i would like to take this

opportunity to recognize two key alumni - with gratitude and appreciation. special thanks to

martin Komsa Bcomm ’76, who concluded his term as chair, university of Windsor Board of

Governors in november, 2007. congratulations, also to marty (President and ceo, Windsor

family credit union), on the occasion of being named “Best in ontario” and “#3 in canada”,

on the list of the top 25 Best small and medium employers in canada.

at the same time, we welcome and congratulate David cooke BsW ’75, who succeeds Komsa

as chair of our Board of Governors. Dave served as a member of the Provincial Parliament for

20 years and was minister of education & training (1993-1995), minister of municipal affairs

(1990-1993), and minister of housing (1990-1991). We look forward to working with you,

Dave, with best wishes for tremendous success during your term.

to the alumni membership – you can see that your alma mater is in good hands. later this

year, you will be contacted about the annual Giving Program. i hope each of you will carefully

BuSINESS STudENTS WIN HuMPHREY aWaRd

the 2007 robert J. humphrey awards, sponsored by the toronto

chapter annual humphrey-ianni-landry memorial Golf tournament,

went to fourth-year Bcomm student anubhav (sunny) malhotra and

fourth-year business co-op student rachel Warnock.

a native of india, malhotra volunteered with the mother theresa

foundation, tutoring young orphans on the use of computers and

helping them read and write english. he is a member of the Big

Brother and Big sister organization, mentoring children who do not

have a male role model, the italian club, the international students

association, and the Punjabic students association.

Warnock is an active and important contributor to the campus

community. she has served the commerce society in a number of

capacities and is its chief auditing officer. for the past three years, she

has served as Business representative on the university of Windsor

students’ alliance and volunteers for the students-orienting-students

Program. as a member of the faculty council for the Business Program,

she was chosen to represent students on the faculty appointment

committee, to help with the selection process of hiring new

professors and promoting current faculty. she was the 2004 recipient

of the alumni association’s Bill eansor award.

taking students under her wing – Dr. lana lee receives the excellence in mentoring award

Professor Dr. lana lee, chemistry and biochemistry, donned her

magician’s hat and cape to show her audience the magic of science,

as she accepted the 2007 excellence in mentoring award at the alumni

association annual General meeting & awards Presentations night.

although Dr. lee’s central role is teaching graduate and

undergraduate courses in the faculty of science, she is also a

marvelous mentor in the science community. she regularly reaches

out to high schools, putting on her magic shows to demonstrate the

awesome power of science. Dr. lee works with students as they

pursue careers as medical professionals and constantly helps to

network her graduates.

one of her former students wrote: “i would not be a physician

today without her guidance and belief in my abilities. her faith in

me was – and is – endearing… more than a professor or an

advisor… a friend.”

“that’s what mentors do,” said Pat Palmer Bcomm ’70, founder

of this award. “they show others that they can soar!”

oNlINE CoMMuNITY VERSIoN 3.0 – SEPTEMBER dEBuT

in february, the alumni association’s popular online community

(olc) launched version 2.0. the new version of the olc still offers

a place to meet mentors, a directory to find fellow grads and an open

forum for hot topics, but now reflects the new uWindsor brand. in

addition, users can post pictures, blog and create groups.

the olc has provided a place for uWindsor graduates to

network online since 1999. in the nine years since, social networking

sites have boomed.

“i think the most-used feature is the e-mail forwarding function,”

says trevor Dinham, alumni officer, communications & marketing.

“Graduates are able to get a [email protected] e-mail

address that simply redirects to any e-mail account they choose.”

that way, if a person’s e-mail changes, they don’t have to change

their address, they can just change it in the system and all mail will

be redirected to the new account.

Windsor’s olc is growing daily and is now connected to 11 other

universities in canada. With a membership of nearly 80,000, the

olc can be a great resource for students and alumni alike.

for noW, it’s Just an area of overGroWn fielDs anD forest near leaminGton, ont. Within the next few years, it will be home to the university of Windsor’s first field research station, to be built near the southernmost point in canada as the nation’s only centre focusing on the Great lakes and carolinian forest eco-system.

By Paul riGGi

field of Dreams Canada’s first-ever Great Lakes and Carolinian forest research centre

Photograph by Kevin Kavanaugh


researchers working at canada’s only centre

devoted to studying the Great lakes and

carolinian forest eco-system will have a critical

role in monitoring and measuring biodiversity

and climate change and in helping produce

environmental and economic solutions in the

essential fisheries, shipping and agriculture

industries.

though it has neither walls nor a name yet,

Dean of science richard caron predicts it will

become a world-class facility that will give our

young faculty the resources to allow them to

accelerate and enhance their scientific research

programs so that they realize their ambitions

to become “international research stars”.

“this is a huge catalyst for research,

teaching, and community outreach,” caron

says. “this is a really big opportunity for the

university.”

uWindsor biology professor Dr. Dan

mennill, who co-chairs the planning committee

for the new centre with Dr. Daniel heath of

the Great lakes institute for environmental

research (Glier), says the university has

some of the country’s most outstanding

environmental researchers. the centre will

help establish their reputations on a national

and international scale.

“the project grew out of the realization

that Windsor’s researchers were all conducting

their world-class research programs in

far-flung places,” says mennill. the centre

will consolidate the work of researchers at

Glier, the departments of Biological and

earth and environmental sciences and from

other departments across campus to “build

excellence.”

caron, mennill and others say the centre

will follow the example of Glier, where

pioneering work on the zebra mussel in 1986

led to studies into other invasive species, raised

millions in research funding, and led to the

establishment of the canadian aquatic invasive

species network. the network brings together

researchers from 15 universities across canada.

“there’s so much potential down there

in that whole area and there’s so much

interest that i think a field research station

is a brilliant idea,” says Dr. Judit smits, a

veterinary pathologist from the university of

saskatchewan. smits has already visited the

area to study the effects of contaminants on

the immune function in wild birds.

caron says that scientists from around

the world will come to work at the centre,

bringing in more opportunities for international

collaborative research “and that again will

bring more funding opportunities, more

excitement, and more students.”

it has already attracted attention from such

groups and individuals as the essex region

conservation authority and Phil roberts

of holiday Beach conservation migration

observatory, and Point Pelee national Park.

the building momentum will feed itself,

bringing exponential growth to our knowledge

of, for example, the impact of climate change

on the ecology of our region, adds caron.

“the excitement around this new

opportunity will bring the very best people,

the very best resources and the very best

equipment. this is good for the university,

the community, and for the country.”

mennill says the new centre will be multi-

tiered, offering research, teaching, training

and outreach opportunities to the community,

generating interest in scientific research at

area schools and among the general public.

the town of leamington donated the

approximately 22-acre site in september 2007,

and caron says that private landowners in the

area have already offered the university use

of their property for research.

under the leamington agreement, the

town will keep its oil and gas rights on the land

and the university will be responsible for all

costs associated with the ownership transfer.

the planning committee intends to

develop a satellite model for the research

station, where the leamington site will

provide a base station from which to explore

the biology of other aquatic and terrestrial

ecosystems in southwestern ontario.

the centre will develop in three stages.

the first phase, already completed, involved

finding the land, situated between Point

Pelee national Park and hillman marsh

conservation area. it includes plenty of

space, overgrown fields and forest. there is

also a former clay pit that’s now a lake, which

heath says will enable him to put in net pens

and study fish under semi-natural conditions;

doing that in lake erie would have presented

logistical challenges.

the second phase will involve raising up to

$2 million for a research and meeting centre on

the property. the university is considering a

number of funding sources, including private

donors.

a dormitory will house researchers while

they are doing detailed field studies. the

centre will also include a teaching facility.

uWindsor will approach governments for

funding to build a technical facility to assess

how natural systems respond to environmental

change, says mennill.

stage three will involve “doing some of the

most outstanding research and teaching in

canada in terms of understanding the Great

lakes ecosystem and the carolinian forest

ecosystem,” he says.

that work does not depend on having

the physical structures and money in place.

mennill, an ornithologist and expert in

bioacoustic research, says it can involve

something as simple as setting up nest boxes

and monitoring birds.

for mennill the centre will enable him and

wife Dr. stephanie Doucet, also a professor

and ornithologist at uWindsor, to continue

researching the behaviour of birds in what is a

major flyway.

heath says the centre will be a self-enclosed

facility where researchers can work and teach

graduate and undergraduate students. Doing


what caron calls “real-time science” on site will

enable heath to take the $10,000-to-$20,000 a

year he would otherwise spend on travel and

logistics and apply it directly to research.

“it will be wonderful to have students

and be out in the field where we can actually

look at the close interactions between the

environment and the genetic response of the

animals and the plants,” says heath.

he says his own research can help define

population structures in fish, leading to catch

limits for fisheries managers. and because

the property is in the middle of some of the

most intensive agricultural land in ontario, he

says it will help such uWindsor researchers

as entomologist Dr. sherah vanlaerhoven

evaluate ecological processes in farmland and

greenhouses.

heath says he expects that the new centre

will lead to multi-disciplinary research, as

part of a trend reported recently in The New

York Times. the newspaper said an increasing

number of universities are developing

environmental centres involving such

disparate disciplines as economists, chemists

and political scientists.

“it’s so easy to become biologically centred,”

said heath. “We know what environment is,

we know what kind of research should be

done. But we’ve got people from all areas of

science involved, and… the trick is going to be

to get outside of the science envelope and get

other people interested.”

ultimately, the new research centre will

benefit multiple generations of students and

others in the community, says mennill. in

about 30 years when he retires, he figures it

will be established as the world-leading centre

its founders already foresee.

“the development of this research

centre will draw the world’s attention to our

university’s outstanding research and teaching

programs. it is a really exciting time to be a

researcher at the university of Windsor and

to watch this environmental research station

take flight.”

thE co-chairs

dr. daniel heath, Canada Research Chair in

Conservation Genetics, helped further establish

his reputation and that of GLIER when he

published his research on captive salmon in the

journal Science. Conservation genetics is aimed

at providing a clearer understanding of factors

operating at the individual and population levels

before drawing any meaningful conclusions at

the eco-system level.

dr. dan mennill, who specializes in behavioural

ecology and animal communication, runs

Canada’s largest laboratory devoted to the study

of animal sounds. Mennill has developed many

new technologies for conducting field studies

of wild birds, and published his research on bird

songs and mating behaviour Science in 2002.

Mennill made news last year when he and his

team of researchers published evidence of the

existence of the ivory-billed woodpecker, an

animal considered by many to have become

extinct in the 1940s.

EnvironmEntaL rEsEarch

Among recent environmental research at

UWindsor:

• dr. hugh macisaac, of the Great Lakes

Institute for Environmental Research

(GLIER) is part of a team of North American

researchers working on a five-year project to

model the spread of aquatic, invasive species

in U.S. Great Lakes states and in Ontario, assess

the economic damage and look at intervention

methods to maximize social benefits. The

project has received a US$2.9 million

National Science Foundation grant in the

U.S. and a $680,000 Collaborative Research

Opportunities grant from the Natural Sciences

and Engineering Research Council (NSERC)

in Canada.

• dr. trevor Pitcher, in the Department of

Biological Sciences is researching the

endangered freshwater fish species, redside

dace, and ways to save threatened and

endangered species with captive breeding.

• GLIER’s dr. daniel heath, with an NSERC

grant of almost $480,000, is leading a team

of nine scientists in examining how animals

cope when faced with major contaminants

from industry, agriculture and urbanization.

Comparing brown bullhead fish caught in the

toxic lower Detroit River to those bred in

captivity in a more pristine environment, they

hypothesize that the fish are becoming

sexually mature younger as an evolutionary

method of coping with pollution.

• dr. sherah vanLaerhoven, one of two

forensic entomologists in Canada, has done

biological research in Leamington’s

greenhouses that has helped tomato growers.

The new environmental research centre could

be beneficial in her research into insects and

food web manipulation to control pest insects

aLumni invoLvEmEnt

UWindsor alumni will have an opportunity to

be involved in the new environmental research

centre, co-chair Dr. Dan Mennill says.

“We know what the core research group

wants and we know how to build something

that will attract national and international

attention to this area,” he says. “But we also

want to do this in a way that really speaks to

alumni at the University.”

Alumni can become involved financially in

the planning stages, “or by getting out there

and monitoring how many eggs the bluebird in

their backyard is laying.”

in agricultural crops and in natural environments.

Her studies also include community assembly

and food web dynamics by manipulating the

arrival time of certain species to new

resources to determine how they co-exist and

interact. She was named a “Top 40 Under 40”

by The Globe and Mail in 2007.

• dr. stephanie doucet, of the Department

of Biological Sciences, explores the ecology

and evolution of visual communication in

animals by examining colour and patterning

of fur, feathers, scales or skin. They act as

signals, as warning colouration or in camouflage,

or to signal such things as identity, sex, age,

dominance and genetic quality of the bearer.

Supported by various NSERC grants for her

fieldwork, Doucet’s research focuses on

tropical birds as well as local projects in which

her graduate students are investigating the

influence of environmental contaminants on

egg coloration in birds, the social and

ecological determinants of scale coloration

in fish and influence of coloration on species

diversity in wood warblers.

• dr. dan mennill, an ornithologist and

co-chair of the committee setting up the new

environmental research centre, received a

$100,000 Ontario Ministry of Research and

Innovation’s Early Researcher Award last

summer to study avian vocal communication

patterns. With funding from many national

and international agencies, Mennill studies the

behaviour of both resident and migratory

birds in Ontario, Florida, Costa Rica,

Colombia, and Peru.

• dr. aaron fisk, Department of Earth and

Environmental Sciences and member of

GLIER is a Tier II Canada Research Chair in

Trophic Ecology. Dr. Fisk will receive

$100,000 per year over the five years in

support of this chair. Dr. Fisk’s research


examines the structure, function, and flow of

nutrients in aquatic food webs using natural

and human-introduced chemical tracers. He

is developing tools to study ecosystem

structure that will provide new information on

how ecosystems function and react to

environmental stressors. Characterizing and

understanding the influence of natural variation

and manmade stress on food webs is essential

for effective conservation, management and,

ultimately, the health of sustainable ecosystems.

Dr. Fisk led a team of experts more than

3,000 kms to Baffin Island last summer to

study the impact of melting polar ice caps on

the feeding habits of Greenland sharks. The

project was being conducted as part of

International Polar Year, a global scientific

program focusing on a range of physical,

biological and social research topics in the

Arctic and Antarctic.

• drs. Jan ciborowski, Lynda corkum and

Ken drouillard, of the University of

Windsor Science faculty, are participants in

the recently funded IGERT (Integrate

Graduate Education and Research

Traineeship) program in “Ecosystem

Restoration though Interdisciplinary

Exchange (ERIE),” supported by the National

Science Foundation. The lead researcher on

the grant is Dr. Alan Rabideau, Department of

Civil, Structural and Environmental

Engineering at the SUNY Buffalo. The

Canadian partners include University of

Windsor, University of Waterloo, McMaster

University, Canadian Consulate, Regional

Municipality of Niagara, Director Niagara

Parks Commission, and the Niagara Peninsula

Conservation Authority. The program will

train 20 to 24 PhD fellows in interdisciplinary

research that will integrate science,

engineering, and policy-oriented scholarship

to advance the theory and practice of

restoration in aquatic ecosystems. Colleagues

at UWindsor will host visiting American

graduate students in their laboratories,

provide guest lectures and contribute to the

development of a seminar course on

Ecosystem Restoration. ❍v
