Now, shehopes to assist students at The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> thathave already been infected with the same longing to write.“I first got the desire to write in high school when an exchangeteacher from Wisconsin told me I had the skill to be a writer,”says Baragar. “She put the fire in my belly.”In 2008, the Joan (Black) Baragar Fine Tuning Scholarshipin English was created by Baragar to recognize passion, skill, and excellence in writtenEnglish. She hopes it will give students confidence in their ability to write and to practicetheir craft.While Baragar attended United College, she says she found herself surrounded by people thatthought or felt like she did and it became a “coming out” time that was an amazing experience.“I met more friends in <strong>University</strong> than ever before in my life,” says Baragar. “A lot <strong>of</strong>growing went on there.”At United College, she participated in stunt nights, sang in choirs, won a prize at a DramaFestival, entered special events such as "G -Day" (when the students wore academicgowns and the pr<strong>of</strong>s didn't) - and won a French medal at her grad in 1955. Baragar wrotefor several projects at United College, including The Uniter, in addition to writingacademically and personally.“Writing is a bug. It’s something you have to do.”Mrs. Kathleen Birchall (seated), Joel Hayes (2007), Marcia Hamm (2005) AshleyMarcinkow (2002) Keely McFadden (<strong>2010</strong>), Lisa Semchuk (McGirr <strong>2010</strong>), AnnaChoy (2009), back row: Stephen Spence (1999)Each year, one student majoring in English during their second- or third-year, is selectedto receive this scholarship after writing a short story, essay or part <strong>of</strong> a first novel. Afterthe scholarship recipient is selected, Baragar likes to meet with the student to discusstheir other works. Last year, the scholarship was awarded to Justina Elias, who describedJoan as generous, thoughtful and kind.“The story I wrote for the scholarship explored a young girl's experience with grief, andsince Baragar has worked with children before, her insights on that topic were reallyhelpful,” says Justina. “I was also touched that she asked to see more <strong>of</strong> my writing. Afew months ago I sent her three more short stories <strong>of</strong> mine that demonstrated some <strong>of</strong> myrange in style and subject.

THANK YOU DONORS!UWRA Scholarship Provides Funding For ReturningU<strong>Winnipeg</strong> StudentsThe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> Retirees Association Executive: Mr. Martin Robson, Secretary; Ms Jane Barske, Past-President;Dr. Robert Young, President; Dr. Annabelle Mays, Member-at-Large; Mr. Steve Coppinger, TreasurerIn February <strong>2010</strong>, the <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> Retirees Association (UWRA) established a Scholarship tosupport a gifted returning student who had completed a minimum <strong>of</strong> 60 credit hours and who haddemonstrated a record <strong>of</strong> community volunteerism.The UWRA created a special Campaign Committee which included Dr. Robert Young (History Department),Dr. Rais Khan (Politics Department), Dr. Carol Harvey (Literature, French Studies), and UW alumnus andformer Associate Vice-President (Finance and Administration), Mr. Stephen Coppinger.In a recent interview, Coppinger and Young explained whyso many U<strong>Winnipeg</strong> retirees had been prepared to give backto their institution, and <strong>of</strong>fered some very personal reasonswhy they themselves decided to donate both time and moneyto this cause. Young, who had a forty year career in the Historydepartment and is currently Past-President <strong>of</strong> the UWRA, washimself a beneficiary <strong>of</strong> scholarships as an undergraduatestudent, and understands the importance <strong>of</strong> investing inauspicious academic talent. Equally important, his three children are graduates <strong>of</strong> The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>,as are the children <strong>of</strong> the other three committee members.The UWRA membership, Coppinger remarked, had been unanimous in its resolve to recognize volunteerwork as well as academic performance. “Candidates for the UWRA Scholarship should have a record <strong>of</strong>volunteerism and be involved in student leadership,” Coppinger stated.Coppinger and Young also pointed out the significance <strong>of</strong> 60 completed credit hours.This specification allows for promising undergraduate students in their third or fourth year to receivefinancial support. While a large number <strong>of</strong> existing scholarships and bursaries are allocated for enteringstudents, the UWRA Scholarship is designed to support third- and fourth-year students, for which thereare fewer funds available.13“Candidates for the UWRAScholarship should have arecord <strong>of</strong> volunteerism and beinvolved in student leadership,”Coppinger stated.They also emphasized that while the Scholarship carriedthe name <strong>of</strong> the UWRA, it was explicitly designed to“commemorate the countless years <strong>of</strong> dedicated serviceprovided by all former U<strong>Winnipeg</strong> faculty and staff.”Financial contributions to the UWRA Scholarship rolledin after the UWRA Campaign Committee issued anappeal for support in April and May <strong>of</strong> <strong>2010</strong>. Allocationsfrom the Manitoba Scholarship and Bursary Initiative(MSBI) were added to gifts made by retirees.Thanks to a large number <strong>of</strong> generous retirees who donated funds, the Scholarship quickly surpassed theminimum endowment level, with the first award being made in <strong>2010</strong>-<strong>2011</strong> in the amount <strong>of</strong> $950.The UWRA Campaign Committee is currently in the process <strong>of</strong> establishing a Bursary to support returningU<strong>Winnipeg</strong> students with demonstrated financial need.Mr. Kenneth LeeMs Linda Lee '75Ms Judy Lee-H<strong>of</strong>ferMs Irmgard LehnMr. Waldemar LehnDr. John LehrChris Leo and and Lorraine Leo de JongMr. Bill LesackMr. Giusseppe LeuzziMs Doreen LevenJohn and Georgina LewisDr. Marion Lewis '86Ms Rachel LewisMr. AJ LezakMs Susan LingleAlice Little '49Mr. Michael LitwinMs Kelly Livesley '95Al LoewenMr. Charles LoewenMs Gina LoewenDr. Harry-Helmut LoewenDr. Royden LoewenMr. Gerry LomonacoMr. Kevin Longfield '93Ms Elinore LoosCurt Lother & Marie GiassonMs Maria LoureiroMs Barbara Lowther '62Sheila M.

After listening to Susan speak, a light bulb went <strong>of</strong>f.”After realizing she didn’t need a lot <strong>of</strong> seed money to start a fund, O’Farrellbegan making contributions. Through payroll deductions, she built herscholarship fund to $10,000.This year, she renewed her commitment to the fund by extending herpledge with an additional $4,000. The O’Farrell Scholarship Fund wasalso fortunate to receive matching monies through the ManitobaTraining and Initiative Fund.After making the decision to leave a generous bequest to The<strong>University</strong>, O’Farrell was also welcomed as a member <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> Foundation’s Legacy Circle, recognizing individualswho have made provision for future gifts to the <strong>University</strong>.O’Farrell’s commitment to her alma mater and its students doesnot go unrecognized. This year, she was awarded the firstever Outstanding Faculty Award, as chosen by the studentsfrom the Faculty <strong>of</strong> Business and Economics.“I love to teach, and if I’m not having fun,neither are my students,” says O’Farrell.“I love seeing a student’s progression.When they graduate, they are acompletely different person. A wellrounded individual.”Her contributions to the <strong>University</strong> extendfar beyond her exceptional commitment tostudents and the financial support she<strong>of</strong>fers. O’Farrell dedicates volunteer timeto a number <strong>of</strong> <strong>University</strong> committees andboards, including The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong><strong>Winnipeg</strong> Board <strong>of</strong> Regents and <strong>University</strong>Senate Committee.“I had no idea the impactone person could make.After listening to Susanspeak, a light bulb went <strong>of</strong>f.”14

The studentspresented her with a very special dreamcatcher, and surrounded her for a giant group hug. The gift cameabout after Jennifer’s first visit to the Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre where she noticed the childrenonly had dried up granola bars and hot chocolate to snack on.“How do you learn with nothing to eat after school?” says Jennifer. “I’m a mother. I can’t do much, but Ican help here.”This meaningful partnership between the <strong>University</strong>'s Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre, Diversity, andthese generous funders, will significantly impact the broader community and help young students develophabits that will continue to inform their food choices well beyond their years at the homework club.“Many <strong>of</strong> these students come straight from school to participate in the Let's Talk Science and HomeworkClub and arrive at the Centre hungry. Thanks to Jennifer and her Mom, Mary, along with The Burns FamilyFund, we will be able to provide them with a nutritious and delicious snack before they head into hours<strong>of</strong> homework and learning,” says Dina Ducharme, Program Facilitator at the Wii Chiiwaakanak LearningCentre. “Young people find focusing on mental activities easier if they have eaten something nutritious.”Wii Chiiwaakanak Learning Centre is a community drop-in centre facilitated by U<strong>Winnipeg</strong>, made possiblethrough private donations. The centre provides Aboriginal youth and their families with access to computers,mentors and Elders' teaching and sharing circles, as well as fun movie nights. Student volunteers from the<strong>University</strong> assist neighbourhood children with homework after school. Approximately 2,000 people accessthe centre monthly.Jennifer Roblin; with Kirsten Godbout and Ben Kramer <strong>of</strong> DiversityFood Services, visiting the Homework Club“How do you learnwith nothing to eatafter school?”18

He graduated from The Collegiate and immediately pursued post secondaryeducation, attaining a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts degree in 1970.Like many <strong>of</strong> his generation, Barron faced formidable circumstances in his youth. His mother passed awaywhen he was only 13 and his father died prior to his 16th birthday. He did not return to school after Grade8 and entered the workforce to earn a living.Barron worked as an apprentice switcher at the CanadianNational Railway and when World War II was declared,he enlisted in the Navy Reserves. He became a wheelsmanfor the HMCS Assiniboine and rose to the rank <strong>of</strong> PettyOfficer. At the end <strong>of</strong> the war, he returned to Manitobawith enough money to take his chances as a farmer, butsoon discovered that that particular career choice wasnot for him. He subsequently sold his land and returnedto the Navy.“Going back to school was thesmartest thing I ever did”, saysBarron, “I really enjoyed my timethere as a student and for that, Iowe a lot to The Collegiate and The<strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>.”While stationed at HMCS Chippawa in <strong>Winnipeg</strong>, good fortune crossed his path when he met LillianWatson, a higher-ranking Officer and his future wife.After government cutbacks forced him out <strong>of</strong> the Navy Reserves, Lillian encouraged him to return to school.“Going back to school was the smartest thing I ever did”, says Barron, “I really enjoyed my time there asa student and for that, I owe a lot to The Collegiate and The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>.”After graduating he went on to teach briefly at a one-room school just outside <strong>of</strong> Selkirk before acceptinga job as a lab technician with the Federal Government.Barron is not the only <strong>University</strong> graduate in his family. He is extremelyproud <strong>of</strong> his stepdaughter, Heather and grandson James who arealso graduates <strong>of</strong> The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>.In 1992, as a means <strong>of</strong> saying thank you to an institution theyhad both grown to love, Ian Barron and his wife, Lillian madearrangements to leave a planned gift <strong>of</strong> life insurance toThe <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>.26


Leaving a Legacy at The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>Robert (Bob) and Eileen Stuebing first met on the grounds <strong>of</strong> United College, what is now The <strong>University</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong>; it was a meeting that would spark a lasting legacy <strong>of</strong> love for each other, and for a campusthey would one-day credit with their future success.Graduating with his high school diploma in 1965 and attaining his degree in 1968, Bob is fortunate to callboth The Collegiate and The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> his alma mater.Bob’s path to graduation was not as straightforward as most high school students’. After finishing hisgrade 11 year at The Collegiate, Bob dropped out to find employment. When he wound up at another<strong>Winnipeg</strong> high school to start his senior year and realized it wasn’t going to work there, he was given asecond chance to go back to The Collegiate. This opportunity to return would change his life.“My life would not have unfolded the way it did if I had not had the opportunity to finish high school atThe Collegiate.”Remembering his experiences at The Collegiate, Bob says that every teacher there was outstanding; inparticular, the late Dean Lorne Tomlinson who he says was the glue that held The Collegiate together.“I spent a lot <strong>of</strong> time in his <strong>of</strong>fice,” says Bob. “So I got to know him very well. He was a great man andhe had a huge impact on my life.”From The Collegiate, Bob moved on to The <strong>University</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> where he earned a Bachelor <strong>of</strong> Arts witha major in Economics. It was during this time when he had the good fortune to be introduced to a younglibrarian, Eileen Roper, on her c<strong>of</strong>fee break in Tony’s.Eileen worked in the library at the <strong>University</strong> for four years andsays this experience allowed her to interact with everyone, fromstudents to faculty and staff.“Working in the library, I still felt like part <strong>of</strong> the <strong>University</strong>,” shesays. “It felt like we knew everyone. Some 40 years later, it stillholds a special place.”Eileen developed lifelong friends during her career at the <strong>University</strong>and as fate would have it, married Bob in 1970.It is these fond memories that have inspired the Stuebings to giveback to their beloved campus.“My life would nothave unfolded theway it did if I had nothad the opportunity t<strong>of</strong>inish high school atThe Collegiate.”In addition to joining the Legacy Circle, Bob and Eileen have alsomade a generous donation to provide a new grand piano to therenovated Convocation Hall. The gift <strong>of</strong> the piano has special meaningfor the Stuebings, for when Bob lived in residence at Wesley Hall,he could, quite regularly, be found playing the piano located in theold Convocation Hall.The Stuebings’ decision to join the Legacy Circle was made aftergiving careful consideration to the successful start The <strong>University</strong><strong>of</strong> <strong>Winnipeg</strong> provided to them.“You have to reflect on where you are in the world, how yougot there, and who helped you get there. We think youhave an obligation to give back,” says Bob.27
