The graduation lists shown in this program were prepared prior to convocation and may not reflect final college decisions regarding each student’s eligibility for graduation. As a result, some of the
students listed in this program may not have been formally approved to receive the degree or diploma indicated. The registrar maintains the official list of graduates.
President’s Message
Peter MacKinnon
I want to express a very warm welcome to the graduates, families and friends who
join us today. Convocation is the university’s most important ceremony, for it is
here that we celebrate the accomplishments of our students and the contributions
of their loved ones to their success. You should be proud of this day and of the
commitment and sacrifice that it represents.
We at the University of Saskatchewan are very proud of our accomplishments, and
it is thanks in large part to you, our students, who have helped us to achieve our
goal of building a world-class institution of higher learning.
As we celebrate our successes with pride and anticipate our future with excitement,
the University of Saskatchewan is ready to expand on the original vision of our
founders. Our mission now is to engage fully in all we do, to enlighten all we serve,
and to explore all aspects of our world. We hope that you—our graduates—will
carry on this same mission as you engage, enlighten and explore within your own
new life.
We extend to you our very best wishes for the future. We hope that you will stay in
touch with us through our University of Saskatchewan alumni family, and that we
will have the opportunity to welcome you ‘home’ to our campus many times in the
years ahead.
Warmest congratulations!

Alumni Message
heather magotiaux
Convocation marks one of life’s great transitions. Today, graduates make the
transition from students to alumni. As with any transition we should take the
time to reflect upon the many accomplishments that have been made so far;
accomplishments of our students that continue to make the University of
Saskatchewan one of our country’s premier educational institutions.
Our reflection should not end there. We also need to take the time to contemplate
those accomplishments not yet realized, as you, our graduates, embark on a new
beginning. Today, as you join a distinguished and accomplished group of alumni, we
cannot help but look forward to your future endeavours—accomplishments yet to
be achieved. You have a responsibility not only to live up to the high standards your
fellow alumni have set, but also to exceed them. Yours will be the legacy to which
future generations will aspire.
As you progress through life’s many transitions, stay in touch with the University of
Saskatchewan, with your college and with your classmates so we can celebrate your
successes together.
Celebrate your success. Never stop learning. Achieve greatness. Congratulations to
the class of 2009.

Great Minds
Thorvaldson Building
Since 1907,
the University of Saskatchewan has been
building a proud tradition. We have
evolved from a prairie college to a centre
of excellence in education and research.
Our students, faculty, staff and alumni are
a testament to our success. Their example
has set a precedent for institutions across
Canada, North America and the world.
Looking
BACK
Population
In 1907, the year the University of
Saskatchewan was established, the
population of Saskatoon was roughly
4,500 and the province of Saskatchewan,
210,000.
Saskatoon’s population today tops 200,000;
Saskatchewan’s grazes the million mark.
Students/Faculty
In 1909, five faculty members taught the
first group of 70 students. Classes were
initially held in the Drinkle building in
downtown Saskatoon.
Currently more than 1,000 faculty members
mentor a student body of nearly 20,000.

“The atmosphere of Saskatoon
will be changed. We shall rise to
a higher plane of being.”
Colleges
Arts and Science and Agriculture were the
first two colleges to be established at the
U of S—in 1908 and 1909, respectively.
Today, 13 colleges and four schools offer
58 degrees, diplomas and certificates in
over 100 areas of study.
Tuition
In 1909, tuition fees were $6 per class.
Today the cost ranges from approximately
$800 to $1,400 per class.
graduates
In 1912, the U of S honoured its first
graduating class of seven students. The
ceremony was held at Nutana Collegiate.
At this year’s convocation spring and fall
ceremonies, we will honour nearly 4,000
new graduates.

Saskatoon had been chosen as home to the province's university
T
he University of
Saskatchewan was
established by the University
Act on April 3, 1907, only 18 months
after Saskatchewan became a
province.
The people of the province, as well as
their government, were instrumental
in shaping the new university. The
provincial government requested all
residents who were graduates of a
Canadian or British university to form
the first convocation and elect the
university’s senate. In 1908, the board
selected Professor Walter Charles
6
Murray, of Dalhousie University, as
the first president.
Classes in arts and science began
in September, 1909, in downtown
Saskatoon. Construction of the
campus began in 1910 and the first
buildings were occupied in the fall
of 1912. They included the College
Building (Administration Building),
Saskatchewan Hall (a student
residence), residences for the dean
of agriculture and the president, a
laboratory for engineering and a
number of farm buildings.

From the beginning, the university
established an emphasis on research
and teaching in a context of
community service, and encouraged
co‑operation among departments
and divisions in tackling common
problems. The development of

With sights firmly fixed on the future,
the University of Saskatchewan has
embarked on an ambitious effort to advance
its already significant contribution of
knowledge, innovation and leadership to the
people and economy of this province, this
country and the world.
Our plan commits energy and resources where
they count the most—to enhancing the student
experience, to encouraging collaboration and
to supporting research, scholarly and artistic
endeavour.
Success will require that University of
Saskatchewan students be well prepared to
thrive in the ‘knowledge age,’ that they be
equipped to succeed. In the coming years,
the university will explore improvement and
innovation both inside the classroom and out,
all the while ensuring the campus remains
a welcoming place for aboriginal students,
students from other parts of Canada and those
from nations around the world.
The future will also see the university establish
across the institution a culture of research
and scholarship that attracts top faculty and
students. Supporting this move are world-class
facilities that are already in place, like the
Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization
(VIDO), or are under construction, such as
the $251-million Academic Health Sciences
project. These and other facilities will play
a role in shining the light on current and
emerging areas of excellence.
In keeping with our founders’ early vision,
the University of Saskatchewan will continue
to be a model of innovation, excellence,
diversity and leadership throughout the
post‑secondary education sector, and beyond.
Spring Convocation 2009
C
T
he word “convocation” arises from
the Latin “cum” meaning “together,”
and “vocare” meaning “to call.” Our
convocation ceremony is a calling together of the
new graduates of the University of Saskatchewan,
symbolizing the historical practice of calling
together all former graduates. In current times,
the major functions of convocation are the
election of representatives to university governing
bodies and the admission of candidates to degrees.
The chancellor, elected by convocation as its chair,
is the highest official and spokesperson of the
university.
The convocation ceremony marks the transition
from the role of student to the holder of a degree
with its accompanying rights and privileges.
The ceremony, solemnized in the presence of
the university community and family and friends
of the graduands, consists of three parts: a
procession marking the leaving of the old status
and entering the new; the president’s statement
to the graduands, the secretary’s petition and
the chancellor’s consent for their admission;
followed by individual presentation by their dean
and admission by the chancellor to the degrees to
which they are entitled. As graduates are admitted
to their degrees, a graduation hood, which has a
colour symbolizing a particular degree, is placed
over each graduate’s head.
onvocaion
Entrance
the petition
The members of convocation in
their academic robes march in
procession into the ceremony in
the following order: graduands
in the order in which their
degrees are to be conferred;
faculty; board of governors;
senate; guests of honour; the
president; the chancellor;
the lieutenant governor. When the
members of convocation reach their
places they remain standing during
the Vice-Regal Salute, the singing of
O Canada and the invocation.
The university secretary on behalf
of all the candidates, addresses
the chancellor and senate in these
words:
Order of the Ceremony
The first business is the conferring
of honorary degrees, followed by
convocation address, president’s
statement to the graduands, the
conferring of degrees and the
presentation of awards. The meeting
is closed by the chancellor rising
and asking the audience to join in
the singing of God Save the Queen
and leading the procession in the
reverse order out of the hall.
Degree Ceremony
The ceremony comprises the petition,
the
admission and the presentation.
University of Saskatchewan
“Eminent Chancellor, President, I
present to you the petition that the
candidates to be named, having
fulfilled all the requirements of the
statutes, may be admitted to the
degrees and certificates to which
they are entitled”.
the admission
The chancellor then addresses the
candidates in these words:
“By virtue of the authority vested
in me by the legislature of this
province, and with the consent
of the council of this university, I
consent to admit you to the degrees
and certificates to which you are
entitled and to invest you with all
the powers, rights and privileges
pertaining thereto.”
the PRESENTATION
The dean of the faculty, or
designate, followed by the
candidates of that faculty,
approaches the chancellor from
the left and presents the candidates
with these words: 9
“Eminent Chancellor, on behalf of
the faculty of ______, I present to
you these scholars and ask that you
will confer on them the degree of
______ .”
As the dean speaks the candidate’s
name in full, the candidate moves
forward in front of the chancellor.
Then the chancellor says, “I admit
you” and the university secretary or
the registrar places the hood over
the candidate’s head. Hereupon the
candidate passes to the chancellor’s
right, is greeted by the president,
and receives the degree parchment.
Degrees in Absentia
In such cases, the university
secretary says:
“Eminent Chancellor, in the name of
the faculties, I ask you to grant the
degrees and certificates, in absentia,
to those students whose names
appear in the printed program and
who were not able to be present
today.”
The chancellor replies:
“At the request of the faculties
I authorize these degrees and
certificates to be granted.
”

The Convocation Ceremony
Academic Costumes
Academic costume lends an element of
colourful pageantry to the convocation
proceedings. This traditional clothing—
worn on a daily basis at universities in
earlier times—is now more commonly
reserved for ceremonial functions.
At the University of Saskatchewan,
the following academic costume
is adopted to be worn upon all
appropriate occasions:
The gown resembles a long cape
with full sleeve cut to elbow and
terminating in a point for the
bachelor’s degree; with long sleeve
and a semi-circular cut at the bottom
for the master’s degree; and with round
open sleeves for the doctor’s degree.
The material is black for the bachelor’s
degree, and black material or silk for
the master’s and doctor’s degrees.
The doctor’s gown may have a border
down the front on either side of a
color distinctive of the character of the
degree.
The hoods for the bachelor’s and
master’s degrees are of black
broadcloth. For the doctor’s (Ph.D.)
degree the hood is scarlet cloth with a
blue lining. The master’s and doctor’s
hoods have a lining and the bachelor’s
an edging (and in some cases, a lining)
of a color distinctive of the character of
the degree.

Honorary Doctor of Science
HUGO LENNART NORDH
He worked with the European
space program and was a research
associate with Stockholm University
Observatory before being appointed
associate professor in astronomy at
Stockholm University.
Before the Swedish government could
pass an act appointing him to a chair
in astronomy at Stockholm University,
Dr. Nordh moved into scientific
administration and worked with the
Swedish National Space Board to
develop the Swedish space program.
Lennart Nordh was born in Mariestad,
Sweden. Following high school and
military service, Lennart entered
Stockholm University where he
completed his B.Sc. and Ph.D. before
being awarded a "Docent" in 1977,
less than 10 years after completing his
baccalaureate.
University of Saskatchewan
In 1998 Dr. Nordh became director
of science for the Swedish National
Space Board, a position he still holds.
He served as head of the Swedish
delegation to the Science Program
Committee from 1998 until July 2008,
when he was elected chair of the
same committee. In 1993 Dr. Nordh
assumed the role of programme
scientist for the then proposed Odin
18
satellite. Canada joined the Odin
program in 1994 with the provision
of the OSIRIS instrument led by the
University of Saskatchewan. This
satellite mission, which was launched
in 2001, has provided the university
with many opportunities including
significant contract support.
The efforts of the Canadian
scientists and graduate students,
particularly those at the University
of Saskatchewan, have been strongly
supported by Dr. Lennart Nordh. His
world class leadership of the Odin
satellite project has persuaded many
countries to emulate his approach.
Even with his heavy administrative load
Dr. Nordh has been an outstanding
mentor for the Odin astronomy
mission, which has culminated with
the first detection of molecular oxygen
in a star formation region.

papers and book chapters, and
presented 225 invited presentations
worldwide, the majority of which
relate to yeast and alcohol production
in industry. He was editor-in-chief
for the American Society of Brewing
Chemists Journal and reviewed
hundreds of papers for other journals.
Mike Ingledew was born in Vancouver
and raised in Nelson, British
Columbia. He graduated from the
University of British Columbia in 1965
with a B.Sc. and in 1969 with a Ph.D.
—both in Microbiology. He then spent
a National Research Council (NRC)
postdoctoral year in Madrid Spain
studying microbial physiology.
Dr. Ingledew began his career in 1970
at the University of Saskatchewan as
an industrial microbiologist teaching
fermentation science, fuel alcohol
production and brewing. He and
his students published 170 research
University of Saskatchewan
Mike spent a year as an NRC Senior
Industrial Fellow at Molson of Canada
in Montreal, a sabbatical in the
Viticulture and Enology Department
at the University of California, and
another at Broin and Associates
in Sioux Falls, South Dakota. He
has extensive industrial liaison and
consulting experience in industry
and has been involved in the training
of more than 1,700 young industry
employees at 33 industry short
courses, including 24 years at The
Alcohol School. His specialization is
very high gravity fermentation—the
increasing of alcohol concentration
in fermentors to as high as 23%, and
elucidation of the problems caused
by bacterial end products in the fuel
alcohol industry. His research is in
industrial practice.
In 1999, Mike received the Alltech

but is especially proud of the research
support he received from NRC/NSERC
for over 42 straight years.
Since his retirement Mike has been
appointed Scientific Director of
Ethanol Technology Institute, a
subsidiary of Lallemand Inc., one
of the largest yeast producers in
the world. He is responsible for the
planning and operation of the Alcohol
Schools in Toulouse, France and
Montreal, and acted as senior editor
and co-author of The Alcohol Textbook
published just 7 weeks ago.
Mike and his wife Lynne now reside
in Parksville, B.C. but still cheer for

President’s Service Award
Parkash Virdi
For over 25 years, Parkash Virdi,
known almost universally simply
as PK, has made it her job to help
people—colleagues, faculty members
and instructors, and especially
students—in a way that is a credit
both to herself and to the University of
Saskatchewan.
University of Saskatchewan
PK’s first job at the U of S was as
a clerk steno in what was then
Extension and Community Relations.
Today, she holds the position of
program assistant for distance
learning, off-campus and certificate
programs in the Centre for Continuing
and Distance Education (CCDE). It
is a job that involves managing the
logistical details that go along with
providing a wide range of programs
involving hundreds of courses
delivered to thousands of students
spread across the country. But beyond
her organizational skills, intense work
ethic and loyalty to the university,
it is the personal touch PK brings
to her job that helped earn her the
President’s Service Award.
In letter after letter, PK’s nominators
made a point of commenting on her
generosity of spirit and compassion,
particularly for the students
involved in the university’s distance
20
education programs. An enthusiastic
lifelong learner herself, PK has a
good understanding of the student
experience and a knack for gently
offering her problem-solving skills to
other students navigating their way
through various issues. Her years of
work experience have resulted in a
wide network of contacts throughout
the province she can call on to rally
support for a student in need.
For PK, the academic and personal
success of students is a top priority,
and she sets about playing her part in
that success with patience, courtesy
and a sense of humour.
To those who know her, work with
her or have been mentored by her,
Parkash Virdi is a role model for
service to students at the University
of Saskatchewan as well as a worthy
recipient of the President’s Service
Award.

Award for Distinction in Outreach and Engagement
Robert (Bob) Bors
magazine articles, technical reports
and fact sheets.
Dr. Bob Bors’ contributions to
fruit breeding and establishing
commercially viable fruit crop
production in North America and
around the world enhances the
University of Saskatchewan’s tradition
of outreach and engagement.
Dr. Bors is an Assistant Professor in
the Department of Plant Sciences
at the College of Agriculture and
Bioresources. Since joining the
University of Saskatchewan in 1999,
he has taught undergraduate and
graduate level courses specializing
in fruit crop production, plant
propagation and nursery management,
and greenhouse structures and crops.
His scholarly work includes dozens
of invited lectures, one book, and
a number of academic journals,
University of Saskatchewan
Dr. Bors' accomplishments in breeding
and developing winter hardy fruit
crops are internationally recognized.
He has been instrumental in breeding
and commercializing Dwarf Sour
Cherries, the prairie apple and Haskap
(also called blue honeysuckle) for
colder climates. Nurseries in seven
provinces are now propagating
University of Saskatchewan varieties.
Besides maintaining huge fruit
germplasm collections inherited
from predecessors, he has personally
amassed hundreds of Haskap and
interspecific strawberry plants that
are the most genetically diverse
collections in the world. He has
cooperative fruit projects across
Canada and with researchers in the
United States, Russia, Mongolia and
Japan. Dr. Bors has been an invited
lecturer to many of these locations
and he has hosted visitors from these
regions to share his vast knowledge
and research expertise.
Experts from the United States, Japan,
and England have claimed that Bob’s
coleus breeding is cutting edge. Not
bad for a part time winter project
that grew out of labs in some of his
classes. These coleus are being tested
internationally.
21
Dr. Bors’ commitment to outreach
and engagement is most evident in his
commitment to the creation of food
industries for local crops. He is not
satisfied simply to create or improve
upon a fruit cultivar, he wants to help
establish a viable industry in which
crops can flourish, growers can succeed
and consumers can enjoy locally grown
and produced products. One of his
supporters spoke about his commitment
and accessibility to external partners
by stating that “on a continuous basis,
he contributes to the fruit industry
through his teaching, research, service,
leadership and expertise.” Another
producer stated that “in addition to
his scholarly work at the University,
Dr. Bors demonstrates repeatedly his
availability to organizations, to speak
and discuss his work at the U of S
with growers and participate in the
strategic decisions for the development
of our industry.” His propagation of
local fruit crops enhances community
and research partnerships and his
knowledge creation with fruit cultivars
has produced commercially sustainable
industries that support economic
development locally, nationally and
internationally.
The passion and commitment that Dr.
Bors exhibits exemplifies the spirit of
outreach and engagement and makes
him a truly worthy recipient of the
award.

Distinguished Researcher Award
Soledade Pedras
of Canada, Canada Research Chairs
(CRC) Program, and the Canada
Foundation for Innovation, as well
as the provincial government and
the University of Saskatchewan. The
investment has paid off. Dr. Pedras
and her research team have uncovered
what she calls a “green” crop
protection agent, called paldoxins, that
can help protect plants from a variety
of diseases without harming other
living organisms.
The Distinguished Researcher Award
recognizes a faculty member’s
contribution to scholarship through
creation, expansion, and critique
of knowledge. Chemistry professor
Soledade Pedras, Canada Research
Chair in Bio-organic and Agricultural
Chemistry, is the 2009 award recipient.
For 15 years, Dr. Pedras has been
exploring the chemical relationship
between plants and their pathogens.
She has earned a stellar international
reputation for her innovative research,
and colleagues across the globe have
described her as a pioneer at the
forefront of her field whose work has
worldwide impact.
Dr. Pedras’ research has attracted
funding from the Natural Sciences
and Engineering Research Council
University of Saskatchewan
Put simply, Dr. Pedras has discovered
that wild species of the crucifer
family of plants—including broccoli,
cauliflower, turnips, as well as
mustard, canola, and rapeseed—
produce a chemical defense against
disease‑causing fungi that cultivated
crops do not. By creating a synthetic
compound, this naturally occurring
defense mechanism can be transferred
from the wild to the farm. This
breakthrough, currently being patented,
is set to have a profound effect on crop
protection and increase quality and
productivity around the world.
During her distinguished career,
Dr. Pedras has authored or coauthored more than 120 papers in
refereed journals and has presented
her research at regional, national,
and international conferences.
She has also contributed to the
academic community as a member
of the CRC College of Reviewers
22
Committee, a member of the selection
committee for the prestigious Killam
Prizes and Research Fellowships,
and as a member of the NATO
Postgraduate Fellowships Committee.
She currently sits on the Editorial
Board of Phytochemistry, a leading
international journal of plant
chemistry, plant biochemistry and
molecular biology.
In recognition of her distinguished
contributions to the field of chemistry,
Dr. Pedras received the Clara Benson
Award from the Canadian Society
for Chemistry in 2003. She was also
awarded the USSU Teaching Excellence
Award in 1995 and named Thorvaldson
Professor in the Department of
Chemistry from 2003 to 2008.
While Dr. Pedras is a dedicated
scholar, she has also displayed
tremendous commitment to teaching
and learning by supervising numerous
graduate theses, post-doctoral fellows,
research associates, and visiting
scientists.
Dr. Pedras earned B.Sc. and Licentiate
degrees from the University of Porto
in Portugal and a Ph.D. in organic
chemistry from the University of
Alberta. She has served as a Visiting
Fellow and Research Scientist at the
National Research Council’s Plant
Biotechnology Institute and has
acted as a consultant for numerous
companies and organizations.
Spring Convocation 2009
Master Teacher Award
LESLEY BIGGS
Saskatchewan (1986-1997) and then
in Women’s and Gender Studies
(1997‑date) here have made her a
teacher with an extraordinary breadth
and depth of knowledge.
An award-winning researcher in
her field of the study of alternative
medicine, and a skilled and generous
administrator, Dr. Lesley Biggs’s
primary distinction has nonetheless
been as a creative, passionate, and
engaging teacher.
Her undergraduate training in
psychology (B.A. 1980), and Master’s
and doctoral work in behavioural
sciences (M.Sc. 1983; Ph.D. 1990),
all at the University of Toronto, and
her teaching first in the Department
of Sociology at the University of
University of Saskatchewan
Always learning herself, and
constantly looking for creative ways
to communicate complex ideas in
an accessible and memorable way,
Professor Biggs revises her curricula
and teaching methods as she learns
more from classroom experiences,
wide reading, teaching workshops,
and participation in professional
accreditation and standards
committees, the latter outside the
university.
Committed to inclusive learning
spaces, Professor Biggs respects
all students enough to be
academically rigorous with them.
Both undergraduate and graduate
students testify to her effectiveness
as a teacher, and a number of
former students who have gone on
to be faculty members elsewhere
report how inspirational she was as
a teacher and how excellent as a
teaching mentor.
23
Dr. Biggs has supervised and served
on the advisory committees of a
staggering number of graduate
students, and invests deeply in
developing their full range of
academic skills from proficiencies
in research methodologies to writing
and presentation abilities. Widely
recognized as a model teacher,
she is a sought-after leader for, and
participant in, teaching workshops
designed to enhance the instructional
skills of the next generation of
teachers.
Professor Biggs was a prime mover in
the founding and the curricular and
administrative development of the
Department of Women’s and Gender
Studies, and she has repeatedly
and selflessly taken on the task of
chairing her department. Among
her many contributions to teaching
in this interdisciplinary field is her
co-editing of an imaginative, widely
adopted textbook. Her enthusiasm
for the pursuit and communication
of knowledge make her the kind
of teacher that students remember
gratefully long after they have left the
university.

Governor General’s Academic Medals
These medals are awarded to the undergraduate student and graduate student with the highest academic standing.
Gold Medal
Maud chloÉ olivia Ferrari
Maud Ferrari was born in Lyon, France,
in 1981. She received a Maitrise
(equivalent to a B.Sc.) in Biology of
Populations and Ecosystems from
the Université de Grenoble in 2003.
Her undergraduate work included
a one-year exchange program at
Concordia University, Montreal, where
she studied the effects of acid rain on
fish chemoreception. Maud started
her graduate work in the Department
of Biology in September 2003 and
completed her Ph.D. in January 2009.
She was the recipient of a University
Graduate Scholarship, the R.J.F. Smith
Research Scholarship and the M.A.
Ramsay Memorial Award.
Maud’s research examined the
behavioural and evolutionary ecology
of predator recognition by fishes
and larval amphibians. Her work
focused on how prey learn to adjust
the intensity of their antipredator
behaviour to match the risk posed by
the predator. For example, she showed
that prey can very quickly learn the
time of day at which predators are most
dangerous, and can use information
about known predators to recognize
novel predators they encounter for
the first time. Her work resulted in 27
peer-reviewed publications and has
revolutionized the way behavioural
ecologists view predator recognition.
Maud was awarded an NSERC postdoctoral fellowship to continue
her research at the University of
California, Davis, where she will use
a behavioural approach to study the
ecology of species invasions.
Silver Medal
