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.

Spring Convocation 2009 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. Emmanuel College students in the classroom, 1920. A-1606 “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. University of Saskatchewan – Comment by local lawyer R.W. Shannon upon learning that 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. Spring Convocation 2009 forward LOOKING College Building construction takes shape, November 1911. A-23 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 rust-resistant strains of wheat, for example, initiated by the university and federal and provincial research agencies, has been of untold value to the prairie economy. constructed buildings also have greystone, as well as tyndall stone (pre-cut slabs quarried in Tyndall, Manitoba), concrete, brick, glass and aggregate facings. The university offers many points of interest for visitors: the Diefenbaker Canada Centre, Museum of Natural Sciences, Museum of Antiquities, Biology Museum, Pharmaceutical Museum, the Observatory, the Gordon Snelgrove In 1909, the university Gallery, the St. had 70 students and Thomas More Gallery, five professors, including Rugby Chapel, the Little the president.

This is Kenderdine Gallery. the only university in Canada with five health-science colleges and a major teaching hospital on the same campus. The University of Saskatchewan overlooks the South Saskatchewan River. Most early buildings on campus are collegiate gothic in style and are constructed in a local dolomite, popularly known as greystone. Subsequently University of Saskatchewan University students snake dance through downtown traffic, 1950s. A-6267 7 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. onvocaion 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. ” Spring Convocation 2009 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.

Spring Convocation 2009 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.

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 Medal of Excellence for his work in “advancing the biochemistry of 19 yeast for alcohol processing” and in 2006 the Fuel Alcohol Workshop Award of Excellence for “outstanding work in research and technology advances in industry” as well as other recognitions. Mike retired from the university in June 2007. He misses his teaching of undergraduates and graduate students, 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 the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Mike is thrilled to receive the Earned D.Sc. degree from this institution to which he gave all he had in his 37 years in Saskatoon. Spring Convocation 2009 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. Spring Convocation 2009 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. Spring Convocation 2009 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. Spring Convocation 2009 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 BRITTANY NICOLE CAZAKOFF Brittany Nicole Cazakoff graduates today with a B.Sc. Honours Degree with High Honours in Physiology. She is also the recipient of the Earl of Bessborough Prize awarded to the most distinguished graduate receiving a Bachelor of Science Four Year, Honours, or Certificate in Natural Sciences. In addition to receiving this notable prize, Brittany has been the recipient of numerous other academic awards including the Governor General's University of Saskatchewan Bronze Medal in 2004-2005, the Chancellor's Chernoff Family Award, and the University of Saskatchewan Entrance Scholarship, which was renewed in all four years of her university career.
