Nomination of Emeritus Professors Joanne Craig, Professor Emeritus of English Years of service: 1977-2007 James Gray, Professor Emeritus of English Years of service: 1948-1972 Ken McLean, Professor Emeritus of English Years of service: 1977-2007 Arthur Motyer, Professor Emeritus of English Years of service: 1950-1970 Gwendolyn Trottein, Professor Emeritus of Fine Arts Years of service: 1986-2006 Simon Quick ’09 cites Ambrose Leung, Economics Professor, winner of the William & Nancy Turner Teaching Award Since taking his full time teaching position in 2004, Ambrose has been enthusiastic, dedicated and, most importantly, has positively impacted every student he has ever taught. He receives outstanding scores on student evaluations... Regardless if he is lecturing an introductory-level class in Bishop Williams Hall with 120 students, or an advanced macroeconomics class of ten, Ambrose learns each individual’s name. He also makes himself available for tutoring, often for hours at a time. Sometimes he even tutors spontaneously if he happens to meet students at the Library or Tim Horton’s. These are but a few of the many ways Ambrose demonstrates devotion to ensure every student has an equal opportunity to succeed. Ambrose has a unique teaching ability that encourages students to learn far beyond the textbook and to understand that achieving excellent marks is not the sole ingredient to success in life. He also has exceptional knowledge of Economics. An active researcher, Ambrose has published many papers in areas such as the economics of crime, socioeconomics, and labour economics. He balances his research well with attention to teaching and students. A Bishop’s education provides a special student-professor relationship where knowledge and personality combine to give an outstanding experience. Though my knowledge obtained from Ambrose relates primarily to the field of economics, his mentorship and friendship exemplify the role professors can play at Bishop’s. Ambrose’s commitment to transferring his expansive knowledge to future professionals is of great benefit to students; my experience has been especially significant under his influence. It has truly been an honour learning from Ambrose.... I have never before witnessed such devotion and commitment to teaching.... Bishop’s learning is about small class sizes and feeling a personal connection with your professors. Dr. Ambrose Leung truly takes this philosophy to heart. Simon Quick ’09, Economics 8 BISHOP'S UNIVERSITY NEWS FALL 2009 Caitlin McNamee-Lamb ’09 invites graduating students to “Raise a Toast” For all our lives, we have been doing the exact same thing: preparing. Education has been preparation.... Over 16 years of preparing for a future that has finally become the present. It is with mixed feelings of sadness and excitement that we are gathered here to celebrate our graduation.... We came here wondering how our lives would change in Lennoxville and now it’s hard to imagine life outside of it. Instead of searching for a familiar face, we see nothing but familiar faces; our professors who were once intimidating have become our mentors and our friends. Students go to university in search of knowledge, and at Bishop’s we have gained so much more.... On behalf of the Class of 2009, I want to thank our faculty for their patience and wisdom. We must also recognize and extend our gratitude to the rest of the Bishop’s and Lennoxville communities – as both academic and non academic experiences have shaped our characters. We leave older, wiser, better educated and more openminded than when we first arrived.... We are the Class of 2009. We survived the flood. We’ve eaten Grec. We opened the Gait, and we’ll always close the Lion. We read The Campus and know the writers. We dominate theme parties. We remember early morning rez fire drills. We know our SRC personally. We’ve fantasized about painting the bridge purple. Every year we lose our voices cheering. We don’t need a menu at Pizzaville. We support our friends and our community. We bleed purple.... The only appropriate way to end this amazing adventure is to “Raise a Toast.” Caitlin McNamee-Lamb ’09, English Honours
