Chair Title: Aboriginal Health and Wellness

Hosted by: Faculty of Health Sciences

For more information please contact: Dr. Chris Hosgood

Sponsored by Alberta Innovates - Health Solutions (AIHS), the Faculty of Health Sciences at the University of Lethbridge seeks an established scholar to fill a position as the AIHS Campus Alberta Innovates Program Translational Health Chair in the area of Aboriginal Health and Wellness, under the thematic area of Health Promotion and Disease Prevention. Candidates must be well-established scholars who have made major impacts in addressing health and wellness issues within an Aboriginal framework to understand and promote determinants of Aboriginal health. Candidates should also have demonstrated expertise in collaborative research with Aboriginal peoples.

Alberta Innovates - Health Solutions, one of four provincially funded research and innovation corporations within the province of Alberta, supports top-quality internationally competitive health research that aims to further our understanding of health and disease and produces results that will make a difference to the health, economy and societal wellbeing of Albertans and people around the world.

The Faculty of Health Sciences has a priority focus on developing educational and research initiatives to promote health equity amongst Aboriginal and Indigenous groups in our geographic region, across Canada and within the global context. As part of this commitment, the Faculty of Health Sciences champions the translation of research to promote evidence-based decision making in helping to ensure beneficial outcomes for Aboriginal and Indigenous people, communities and organizations. We are seeking a faculty member who works to understand and address Aboriginal health and wellness from a holistic perspective through scholarship that serves to identify and enhance Aboriginal peoples' strengths, including the use of traditional knowledge, spirituality, and desire to promote healthy living. Such a focus also creates a platform on which effective policies and collaborative health programming can be built. These efforts will be supported by the existing and growing collaborative partnerships between the Faculty of Health Sciences and Aboriginal communities and organizations.

The University of Lethbridge is situated on the wintering grounds of the Blackfoot nation and is within an hour's driving distance of the Kainai First Nation (the largest Aboriginal reserve community in physical size in Canada) and to the Piikani reserve, both of which are members of the Blackfoot Confederacy. There is an established positive working relationship with both of these groups as well as with Red Crow College (RCC), the Kainai band's privately owned and operated college that has a satellite office in Lethbridge. The Faculty of Health Sciences, which includes nursing, addictions counselling and public health programs, has been successful in developing educational initiatives that assist First Nations, Metis and Inuit students in these programs.

Candidates and nominees should submit a curriculum vitae, three letters of reference, a single-page research proposal, and a letter of application or nomination indicating their interest and anticipated contribution to:

ACADEMIC LIFE: SACPA May 31 -- Climate Calamity â€“ Fact or Fantasy?

NOTICE OF SESSION Thursday, May 31, 2012 Noon â 1:30 PM Country Kitchen Catering 1715 Mayor Magrath Drive S. Lethbridge

Climate Calamity â Fact or Fantasy?

James Lovelock, scientist and originator of the Gaia hypothesis, said in 2007 that; "Before this century is over, billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic." Recently, as reported in the Daily Mail, he said; âThe problem is we donât know what the climate is doing. We thought we knew 20 years ago. That led to some alarmist books â mine included â because it looked clear-cut, but it hasnât happened.â âWe were supposed to be halfway toward a frying world now.â

How could a reputable scientist have been so far off track? How can the rest of us separate fact from fantasy?

Alarming climate change announcements seemingly go far beyond the fundamental scientific postulate that increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will change the radiative heat transfer properties of the earth sufficiently to cause significant warming. Establishing confirmatory evidence is difficult and may be far from conclusive.

The speaker will present his opinion on how deception was achieved, the motive, the inadequacies of the data and the methods used to achieve a premeditated result.

Speaker: Tim Ball, Ph.D.

Dr. Ball retired from the University of Winnipeg in 1996 to pursue his long time interest in climate change. He is skeptical of some aspects of developing climate change science and policy. He maintains a website where details are presented. He is also a featured speaker with the International Climate Science Coalition. His public presentations have been enthusiastically received by some professional societies, business conferences, public forums and a wide variety of public, private and non-profit organizations.

Dr. Ball studied at the Universities of Winnipeg and Manitoba receiving his B.A and M.A. from them, respectively, in 1970 and 1971. He earned his Ph.D. from Saint Maryâs College of the University of London in 1982 with a specialization in climatology.

Date: Thursday, May 31, 2012

NEWS: Details for â€˜Destination Projectâ€™ emerge

Universityâs proposed science facility takes shape

The vision for the University of Lethbridgeâs future science complex is beginning to come to life.

Now dubbed the Destination Project, further details of the new science facility along with renovations to University Hall and subsequent campus infrastructure expansion, have been outlined in a new Key Parameters document available at http://www.uleth.ca/facilities/science-complex

The document outlines the programs and services that will be housed in the new building including education, research, administrative and technical support. It also sketches an estimate of the projectâs size and capital budget.

âThis document serves several important purposes,â said Chris Eagan, executive director of Facilities.
âNot only will it clarify the direction of the Destination Project, but it will also ensure that stakeholders and community members gain an understanding the project before we move into feasibility and pre-design work.â

The proposed state-of-the-art science building will utilize the most recent technology enhancing teaching, learning and researching opportunities for future faculty and students.

In addition, the project will provide opportunities to support a more diverse range of research activities in a more team oriented and collaborative setting.

The Destination Project will also augment the Universityâs recruitment and retention activities.

Total preliminary construction cost is estimated at just over $262 million.

A Key Parameters document outlining the objectives of the University Hall renewal will be developed at a later stage.

NEWS: Distinguished Teacher Hay where he wants to be

Uploaded with Skitch!

When Dr. David Hay discovered he could actually study knights and castles in school, he never wanted to leave the educational environment. Itâs good fortune for the University of Lethbridge that he still hasnât.

The winner of the 2012 Distinguished Teaching Award says heâs always had a love of history, and itâs his great fortune that heâs been able to turn it into a rewarding career.

âAs teachers, we should never forget just how lucky we are to be able to make our living helping people learn,â says Hay, who came to the University in 2000, his first professorship after earning his Phd from the University of Toronto.

âIt really is a pleasure to go into my classroom and study history with my students. Iâm often reminding myself that not a lot of people get to do what they love everyday and I have that opportunity.â

Hay discovered early that history was his calling. He remembers being a disinterested student until Grade 4 when he saw another social studies class was studying knights and castles.

âI thought, âWow, you get to do this in school?â Iâd been doing that at home by myself and started to realize you could study history in school.â

It didnât necessarily put him on a path to be an educator but it ignited a passion.

âI was the first person in my family to go to university so I never really had that as a model,â says Hay. âI never knew what the professor life involved and how I would go about being one. I just figured Iâd keep studying history until they told me I had to get a real job.â

Hayâs course load includes Western Civilization, Main Themes in Medieval History, The Crusades, Medieval Britain, Violence in Medieval Society, and The Twelfth Century Renaissance.

His courses are in demand by students, and often the cause of enthusiastic discussion beyond the classroom. His course on The Crusades is the most popular offering by the Department of History.

âTo see students progress is very gratifying,â says Hay. âI also just enjoy hearing new ideas and being able to explore them together with my students. If I were to summarize my teaching philosophy, I would characterize it as a pedagogy more of practice than of theory â which is merely to say that I have learned more inside of the classroom than outside of it.â

Hay is known as a reflective scholar, constantly changing his teaching in response to his own reflections and the advice of students.

The result has been consistent improvement in the organization and delivery of course content, and in subsequent evaluations by his students.

A widely respected and popular teacher, Hay has a teaching performance rating that, over the past decade, has never dipped below the outstanding level.

âItâs satisfying to get the recognition from my colleagues because I hold them in very high esteem,â says Hay. âAs well, to read the comments from my students, that they had a positive experience and learned something in my classes, is deeply satisfying to me.â

NEWS: Rasmussen's contributions earn Ingrid Speaker Medal

Uploaded with Skitch!

Professor of biological sciences Dr. Joseph Rasmussen has made outstanding contributions in fisheries and aquatic biology for three decades.

For his distinguished record of achievement and enduring contributions to these areas of study, the University of Lethbridge has named Rasmussen as the recipient of the 2012 Ingrid Speaker Medal for Distinguished Research, Scholarship, or Performance.

A Tier 1 Canada Research Chair, Rasmussen is the director of the University of Lethbridgeâs Water Institute for Sustainable Environments (WISE).

His research papers have been published in several elite science journals, including Nature, the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Ecology Letters, Ecological Monographs and the Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences, the latter of which is the leading international journal for aquatic sciences.

Some of Rasmussenâs work has resulted in crucial research advances. He is a pioneer in using stable isotopes to characterize food web systems, and his work has had major impacts on biomagnification, toxic substances and studies of the invasion by exotic species.

His expertise in aquatic ecology led to his appointment to Environment Canadaâs National Oilsands Review Panel. In 2010, the Society of Canadian Limnologists awarded him the Frank H. Rigler Memorial Award, the societyâs highest honour.

âIt was very gratifying to receive an award that has been given to many excellent scientists over the years, and to have my name associated with that of professor Rigler, who had such a profound impact on limnology and aquatic science in general,â says Rasmussen of the honour.

His work has had significant scholarly impact as well. Rasmussenâs cumulative citation record is impressive, with over 7,000 citations on the Web of Science, and over 9,000 on Google Scholar, showing that his research papers are very influential in advancing the field of ecology.

NEWS: Lottie Austin and George Evelyn Receive Senate Volunteer Award

Uploaded with Skitch!

Lottie Austin and George Evelyn have repeatedly shown their willingness to commit personal time and resources to increasing community awareness and appreciation of the arts.

Professor Emeritus in the Department of Music and recipient of the Distinguished Teaching Medal, Evelyn developed a fundraiser for the U of L Singers called the Festival of Art and Song.

A founding member of the Universityâ€™s Planned Giving Committee, Austin chaired the Festival of Art and Song Committee for several years, and was key to the festivalâ€™s success, ensuring it met and exceeded its fundraising goal every year.

Austin and Evelyn share a passion for education and music performance, and an expertise in administration. The U of Lâ€™s arts and music programs have received broader awareness through their efforts.

The two agreed to be co-Chairs of the Music in the Making campaign, and have been critical in its success.

Designed to benefit the U of L Music Conservatory and launched in 2011, the Music in the Making campaign surpassed its fundraising goal of $500,000, thanks in large part to Austin and Evelynâ€™s efforts to rally supporters of the arts and of the University.

Campaign funds will support the purchase of appropriate equipment and musical instruments for the Music Conservatoryâ€™s new space in the Community Arts Centre in downtown Lethbridge.

The success of this campaign will allow the Conservatory to successfully relocate to its new home.

For their unwavering commitment to the U of L and the community, Lottie Austin and George Evelyn are the recipients of the 2012 Senate Volunteer Award for volunteer work on behalf of the University of Lethbridge.

NEWS: Goyal recognized with Cade Award

Uploaded with Skitch!

A student with high aspirations has received an award to match.

Dipankar (Dee) Goyal, a second-year neuroscience student, recently received the Bill and Elsa Cade Student of the Year Award.

Goyal moved to Lethbridge from Victoria for his university studies and has been truly amazed by the opportunities provided at the U of L.

âFor an undergraduate student, getting the opportunity to work under a professor in first year is simply magnificent. It has been a great experience having done research under Dr. HJ Wieden, Dr. Robert Laird and Dr. Olga Kovalchuk,â says Goyal.

Goyal, a member of the U of Lâs iGEM team, has been named the recipient of the Bill and Elsa Cade Student of the Year Award.

He has set his sights on medical school, and is working his way toward that goal by engaging in a combination of academic and community service activities that he hopes will take him far.

âI look forward to attending medical school with a long-term goal of joining an organization like Doctors Without Borders,â he says. âIt is far more than a dream for me to one day become a part of an experience like that â it is my passion, dedication and ambition.â

Goyal recently organized the Relay for Life Star with the Canadian Cancer Society. He also volunteers under Dr. Surendar Kilam and Dr. Ryan McColl at the Chinook Regional Hospital, and is a crucial part of the award-winning International Genetically Engineered Machines (iGEM) team here on campus. The iGEM team ranked as one of the top four teams at the Americas Competition and as the top Canadian team internationally, all based on its efforts to build a bacterium that could consume oil sands tailings pond residue.

NEWS: McAleenan enthused about opportunity as Women's Basketball Coach

Uploaded with Skitch!

Erin McAleenan has no problem admitting she has a competitive side that sometimes gets the better of her. Itâs a feisty edge sheâs ready and willing to bring to the Pronghorns womenâs basketball program as its new voice and leader.

McAleenan was tabbed as the 10th coach in the programâs history in April, taking over a team searching for some bite and subsequent success.

âI played the point and I was very competitive,â says McAleenan, a point guard for the University of Acadia Axewomen from 1999 to 2003. She comes to the Horns off a three-year stint as assistant coach with the University of Alberta Pandas.

âI wasnât afraid to be physical to the point that the game allowed. I played in the womenâs league in Edmonton while I coached there . . . my competitive edge maybe takes over sometimes,â she laughs.

Erin McAleenanNew Horns womenâs basketball head coach Erin McAleenan is ready to get to work.

A Sussex, New Brunswick native, McAleenan is getting her first crack at being a head coach at the Canadian Interuniversity Sport (CIS) level.

Her pedigree is impressive, including a wealth of provincial and national team coaching experience.

Currently, she is in her second year as head coach of Albertaâs U17 provincial team, and later this month sheâll spend two weeks as an apprentice coach/manager with the Canadian National Womenâs Team as it prepares for the London 2012 Olympic qualifying tournament.

Her penchant for coaching stems from her father, a high school teacher and coach, who she describes as turning Sussex into a basketball town when they moved to the area in the 1970s. McAleenan began coaching as a Grade 8 student when she would help out at summer basketball camps for kids.

âWhen I went to university, I wanted to be a physiotherapist, probably because I had suffered a lot of injuries and was really interested in that line of work,â she says.

âOver time I realized that I really preferred working with kids. I ran all the summer camps at Acadia while I played there and when I was graduating (with a BSc) I knew I wanted to get into education.â

She worked at a private school as an associate faculty member while she pursued her education degree at Trent University, coaching high school boys and girls and earning provincial team experience within the Ontario Basketball Association.

After working as the lead assistant coach for the Ontario U17 provincial team, she met Alberta coach Scott Edwards at 2008 Nationals tournament in Charlottetown, and he encouraged her to move out west for the assistantâs position at University of Alberta.

âWhile I loved teaching and working with high school kids, I think both my competitive side and my personal experience of playing CIS led me to want to try and make a difference with athletes at this age level,â she says.

She comes to the Horns with her eyes wide open, understanding sheâs entering a basketball hotbed with deep community roots. Gaining the trust of that community will be central to her success.

âI donât think itâs going to be easy but I think Iâm the right person for the job,â she says. âIâm definitely a people person, I want to go out into the community and develop those relationships. Itâs not going to happen overnight and like any relationship itâll take time for people to get to know me and to trust me and support the program Iâm leading.â

Her approach is grassroots.

âI want to connect with people, get involved with the high school and junior programs and expand our summer camp options,â says McAleenan. âThe more I can get out in the community and give back, the more people will get to know me so that we can create those relationships.â

The Pronghorn program has the capability to lead basketball development in southern Alberta and McAleenan says her players can benefit from taking on that responsibility.

âI want to be able to give my student athletes opportunities to develop their leadership skills in the community and to do their part in being better role models, especially for younger females, whether that is through basketball specifically or other things I think we could get involved in,â she says.

It all lends to creating an environment for success, both as students and as student-athletes.

âIâm thrilled to be given the opportunity to work with these young student-athletes and I value the role we have in their development,â says McAleenan.

GET THE FACTS

â¢ McAleenan considers herself a defense-first coach whose teams score off transition opportunities and good shot selection

â¢ She was an assistant coach with the Canadian Developmental National Team at the 2011 Pan Am Games

â¢ Adopted, McAleenan has a brother who played basketball at Bishopâs University and is currently living in Ottawa, as well as three half-brothers and two half-sisters, all living in New Brunswick

â¢ McAleenan had never met U of L President Mike Mahon while they were both at the University of Alberta, but she did teach his son Seann a physical activity course at U of A and his other son, Brennan, was a physical therapist for the menâs basketball program in her first year with the womenâs team

NOTICES: Children Participants Needed for a Research Project on Speech Development
We are currently conducting a research project that focuses on how children develop gender-specific speech patterns. As you may have noticed, males and females talk differently. Many of the differences between the two genders originate in anatomical structures that separate the two sexes after puberty. However, young children exhibit gender-typical speech behaviors well before puberty. This study aims to investigate whether the early emergence of speech variations related to gender are associated with gender awareness in young children and adolescents.

During the study, we will be asking children to repeat words they hear while looking at pictures appearing on a computer screen. They will also be asked to identify speakersâ gender after hearing their voices. In addition, for children younger than 10, they will be observed for a ten-minute free play activity in a room filled with various toys. The tasks are not difficult and we have found that children generally enjoy working with us. We will give your child a small toy as well as a $10 gift card as a thank-you for his or her participation in this study.

The whole procedure will take approximately 30-40 minutes. The tasks will be presented by trained research assistants who are undergraduate or graduate students at the University of Lethbridge in the Department of Psychology. If you have child(ren) between the age of 4 and 14, We are inviting you and your child(ren) to participate and have a fun-filled research-based ârecessâ. We could work around your hours including evenings and weekends. If you were to drive to the University, your parking fee will be reimbursed. After completing the study, if you wish to review the findings before their public release, you can send an email to Dr. Fangfang Li at fangfang.li@uleth.ca

We thank you for your cooperation and for helping us to understand the complexities involved in speech and gender development. If you decide to take part in this study, please call Dr. Fangfang Li at 403-329-2568 or email us at fangfang.li@uleth.ca. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

NEWS: University of Lethbridge Edmonton Campus Moves to Concordia University College
The University of Lethbridge will relocate its Edmonton campus to Concordia University College effective July 1, 2012.

The move keeps the U of L close to downtown Edmonton and its primary student population, while providing more of a campus experience.

âWeâve operated a campus in Edmonton for almost 20 years, and our students have told us, loud and clear, that while they value our programming and flexibility, they were missing out on a campus environment,â says Dr. Andy Hakin, the U of Lâs Vice-President (Academic) and Provost.

âBy listening to our students and closely following the direction provided by our strategic and academic plans, the move to Concordiaâs campus will greatly enhance the U of L student experience in Edmonton.â

The agreement with Concordia will see the U of Lâs Edmonton team move from a downtown office to its own leased administrative space on the Concordia campus, while providing classrooms and other services for U of L students.

The arrangement is similar to that of the U of L Calgary campus, which has a lease partnership with Bow Valley College in downtown Calgary.

Approximately 500 students attend U of L classes in Edmonton each year, primarily in evenings and on weekends. The U of Lâs presence will subsequently not conflict with regular Concordia classes.

The U of L will have the use of several classrooms, videoconference facilities and student computer labs. As well, U of L students will have access to the Concordia library, recreation and fitness facilities, bookstore and cafeteria. The campus location also offers convenient parking and transit access, something that was lacking at the previous location.

âThis move presents a great opportunity for both our institutions to work together to serve our students in new and innovative ways,â says Hakin.

About the University of Lethbridge:

Since its founding in 1967, the University of Lethbridge has been renowned for its commitment to students and the student experience, small classes and the liberal arts.

Today, the U of L is respected around the globe and is recognized as a research-intensive, comprehensive university with a focus on both undergraduate and graduate education.

With more than 150 degree/program options offered through the Faculties of Arts & Science, Education, Fine Arts, Health Sciences and Management, and the School of Graduate Studies, the U of L offers relevant, progressive programs; small class sizes; state-of-the-art facilities and world-class learning opportunities.

Approximately 8,500 students from 85 countries call the U of Lâs campuses in Lethbridge, Calgary and Edmonton home.

NEWS: Trapezoidal "Quadrangle" Construction Begins May 1
University quadrangles, better known as quads, are visible expressions of the university community and can enhance the quality of student, staff and visitorâ€™s experience on campus.

The University of Lethbridge recognizes the importance of preserving public green space, and so the department of Facilities is embarking on the construction of a vibrant and unique outdoor gathering space that should be ready to use this fall.

Uploaded with Skitch!

Located just north of Markin Hall, at the site of the former track field, the new trapezium-shaped courtyard will feature a core open space surrounded on three sides by small rolling hills to accommodate comfortable sitting and lounging, as well as connecting, well-lit sidewalks bordered by trees and plants.

Uploaded with Skitch!

Suitcase sculptures created several years ago by the late Carl Granzow will also be installed this year. The sculptures were once displayed on the south patio on Level 6 of the University Centre for the Arts.

Uploaded with Skitch!

Learn more about Carl Granzow and his lasting contributions to the U of L community and campus environment here: http://www.uleth.ca/unews/legend/content/lasting-images-carl-granzow

Future construction will include a continuous bench that will frame the perimeter of the core and offer a variety of sitting places.

The quad will function mainly as an open, casual gathering space with the ability to support various activities throughout the year.

The design of the quad allows the University to maintain its commitment to sustainable development while creating an iconic destination on campus.

The design also incorporates a storm water management system where low areas can capture and use storm water from the site and adjacent areas. These areas will contain a limited amount of maintained grass to allow more natural vegetation to grow.

Wind protection has also been considered for the site, which opens the door for collaboration with the art community to incorporate functional art as a wind shelter.

Construction on the quad should begin in May. For more information on this project contact Dick Lutwick at 403-329-2640 or lutwick@uleth.ca.

LEAD STORY: Renovations Begin to 70s-era PE Building

Uploaded with Skitch!

The 1st Choice Savings Centre for Sport and Wellness has been a welcome modern addition to the Physical Education building, but not much has changed to the core of the nearly 40-year-old facility.

That wonât be the case this fall after the PE building gets a face lift.

Starting May 1, the existing mechanical and electrical systems will be upgraded, as well as some much needed renovations to several areas of Levels 0, 1 and 2.

âItâll be a much more comfortable facility in terms of climate. Itâs going to be significantly brighter,â said Project Manager Jason Baranec.

Aside from a few minor restorations, the PE building hasnât changed since the 1970s when it was first built. When complete, the renovations will reflect the Wellness Centre creating a more cohesive environment.

âThe driver for this project is the mechanical, electrical and infrastructure upgrades, and then weâre doing what we can architecturally to make it look as though the Wellness Centre and the PE building were all built at the same time,â said Baranec.

Uploaded with Skitch!

Renovations include new doors and exteriors to the southeast, southwest and northeast entrances, and cylindrical solar tubes, similar to skylights, which will illuminate the main concrete staircase in the PE building.

âIt achieves the same purpose as a skylight except without having to cut too much concrete,â Baranec said. âThereâs going to be a lot of natural daylight.â

The kinesiology research labs on Level 2 will be updated with new lighting and HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) systems. Offices on the same level will receive new flooring in addition to the upgrades.

Room PE250 will get new windows, and PE275 will see new carpet, desks and light switching. Day-use change rooms on Level 1 will also get an overhaul.

The addition of âinfo wallsâ which integrate seating and bulletin boards will provide more gathering spaces in the building.

Uploaded with Skitch!

The majority of the work is expected to be complete before the start of classes in September.

The project was made possible with a $5.6 million grant from the Alberta government.

Much of the work will impact public spaces and corridors which means people need to be on the lookout for detour signage re-routing pedestrian traffic.

Although construction will be ongoing throughout the summer, arrangements have been made to cease work during Convocation and the Alberta Summer Games to avoid disruption.

For more information call Jason Baranec at 403-329-2703, or email jason.baranec@uleth.ca.

NEWS: Sports Medicine Clinic Construction Begins in May
The creation of a new sports medicine clinic is another construction highlight happening in the Wellness Centre this summer.

The clinic will be located in the PE100 space below the south end of the running track. Once complete, it will house up to four physicians and associated support staff. The space will feature physiotherapy and exam rooms, treatment areas, and doctorâs offices.

Project Manager Gene Lublinkhof said the clinic has always been in the plans for the Centre.

âThere was space allotted for it from day one,â he said.
âThe Sports Medicine Clinic will provide services to athletes â¦ the student body at large, anybody with a bone and joint issue or with a need for physiotherapy, injury recovery or whatever can go there. So it would be open to them, and then it will also serve the community.â

As with the PE building renovations, the clinicâs design will also reflect the rest of the Wellness Centre faÃ§ade. Construction is slated to begin in May, with completion anticipated by the end of August.

Construction will be ongoing throughout the summer, but arrangements have been made to cease work during Convocation (end of May, early June) and the Alberta Summer Games in July to avoid disruption.

NEWS: New Combined Degrees Connect New Media, Public Health and Management
Three University of Lethbridge faculties are collaborating on two new, innovative combined degree programs that will bring a management focus to Health Sciences (Public Health) and Fine Arts (New Media).

Open to all current or incoming students beginning in September, 2012 these first-in-Canada degrees are designed to bring the best of all three groupsâ academic and career-related processes together so students can earn a Bachelor of Management and either a Bachelor of Fine Arts, New Media or a Bachelor of Health Sciences in Public Health.

Graduates would be granted two degrees after meeting the requirements of both programs.

âThis is a great example of our faculty members recognizing an opportunity, driven in part by requests from our students, to bring added value to three completely different degree programs,â said Dr. Andy Hakin, the U of Lâs Vice-President, Academic and Provost.

âCross-campus collaboration happens in many places at the U of L, formally and informally, and these new combined degrees show the type of creativity, innovation and co-operation that helps our students achieve their full potential. I commend the Management, Fine Arts and Health Sciences teams that put these programs together.â

Co-operative and applied study opportunities are available in all three faculties so students can further enhance their skills and work experiences in Canada or internationally.

As well, merit-based and entrance scholarships are available in Management, Public Health and Fine Arts.

For Dr. Bob Ellis, the Dean of the Faculty of Management, the chance to work with his colleagues in two different degree streams was an opportunity that further reinforces his interest in collaboration.

âWe have excellent programs in our respective Faculties, and graduates of these dual degree programs will possess exceptional knowledge and skills that employers will seek out,â Ellis said.

FINE ARTS/MANAGEMENT

The dual Fine Arts/Management degrees combine new media, film and video production, art, drama, and music with marketing, information technology, and management practice.

âThe B.F.A. (New Media)/B.Mgt. combined degrees makes graduates even more competitive in the marketplace, giving them skills in interactive technologies, marketing in digital media and social networking sites, as well as business and people management,â said Dr. Desmond Rochfort, the Dean of the Faculty of Fine Arts.

âThis unique combination of business and new media expertise opens up more professional opportunities for our fine arts students, and also for those management students who are looking to add the creativity of new media to their degrees.â

HEALTH SCIENCES/MANAGEMENT

The combined Public Health/Management degree will see students taking courses in ethics, psychology, ecology of health and disease, human geography and addictions, combined with finance, organizational behavior, global management and labour relations, among other courses.

âGiven that policy and administration are key streams of Public Health, an option to combine the B.H.Sc. (Public Health) degree with a Management degree provides an excellent opportunity for students to gain knowledge in both areas,â said Dr. Christopher Hosgood, the Dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences.

âBy focusing the skills of management in the field of public health, graduates will be able to seek opportunities in administrative positions in a variety of areas of public health practice. Our program is developing a good track record of placing students with employers upon graduation, in public, private, and not-for-profit sectors that require specialists in public health who know how to manage people and resources and understand strategic and policy issues.â

BACKGROUND AND ADMISSION INFORMATION

A complete list of course requirements for both degree programs is available on these websites:

Faculty of Fine Arts: http://www.uleth.ca/finearts

Faculty of Health Sciences: http://www.uleth.ca/healthsciences/combined-degrees

Faculty of Management: http://www.uleth.ca/management/combined-degrees

Students must meet entry requirements for all Faculties, including a New Media portfolio and questionnaire for Fine Arts. Merit-based and entrance scholarships are available in Management, Public Health and Fine Arts.

NOTICES: UCA Mechanical Systems Rehabilitation- Phase 2
Over the 2012 summer construction season the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in the University Centre for the Arts will receive significant upgrades. This second and final stage of the overall $4M project will address a number of ongoing air quality issues as well as allow more energy efficient operation of the building. Construction work will also include 2 small renovations to revise Fine Arts offices spaces. During the summer construction season occupants of the building, depending on location, may be required to move from their offices while construction takes place. Due to the extensive amount of work and limited time available, this work will be intensive and at times disruptive. Upon completion of the overall project, nearly every room in the UCA will have had some level of construction activity.

NEWS: Proposed Science Complex Project Gets New Website
The Facilities department has launched a new website for the proposed Science Complex Project.

The new site, located at http://www.uleth.ca/facilities/science-complex , contains background information and other important details that will allow the community to follow the projectâs progress.

The project incorporates three elements: a new building geared toward supporting science research and teaching, the redevelopment of University Hall, and a new physical plant facility.

While itâs still in the planning stages, the Science Complex Project is well within the Universityâs vision for the future, said the projectâs sponsor, Provost and Vice President (Academic) Andy Hakin.

The project will have far reaching benefits for the University and the extended community.

âCurrently, the science research and teaching labs are located throughout University Hall. An ultramodern building dedicated to science research and teaching will not only facilitate collaborative opportunities between departments, but it will also offer faculty and students first-class working and learning environments that will enable them to reach their full potential.â

Hakin added that the redevelopment of University Hall is an essential part of the overall project as it will revitalize the teaching and research environments primarily used by the social sciences and the humanities departments.

Armed with $2.7 million in planning funds from the Government of Alberta, the Facilities department is currently working on a project charter that will define the projectâs objectives and operational structure.

The Science Complex Project website will be updated as new information becomes available.

NEWS: 45th Anniversary Activities, Video presentations and much more

Uploaded with Skitch!

Look for this logo on all U of L 45th anniversary activities.

The University of Lethbridge reaches a milestone this year as it celebrates its 45th anniversary. This is an opportunity to celebrate all that is the University of Lethbridge â€“ our past, present and future.

In the coming months, you will see a number of initiatives on campus and in the community that reflect this celebration.

THE LEGEND:

Each month in the Legend weâ€™ll profile the people and events that shape our University, celebrating the U of Lâ€™s controversial past through the recollection and retelling of stories from our rebellious beginnings, and using this foundation to speak to the themes of autonomy, access and student-centred education that continue to be at the forefront of the Universityâ€™s ideals.

TELEVISION PROFILES:

Youâ€™ll want to watch the Global News Hour each Thursday evening for a series of videos that have been produced for our 45th year.

The 90-second clips are a celebration of the University of Lethbridge story, told through the people who shaped the U of L in its earliest stages right through to the staff, faculty, students and alumni who embody what the University is today and aspires to be in the future.

The first feature is on Faculty of Fine Arts associate professor Blaine Hendsbee.
