Info

HK Dr. Richard (Dick) Moriarty arrived at the University of Windsor, then Assumption College, as a student in 1952. A small campus at the time, Dick became involved in university politics immediately. One of his major contributions was in the administration of the athletic department which eventually parlayed into a long and illustrious career. Dick’s involvement became a selfless commitment to a life for the benefit of others. Upon graduation, Dick officially began his career. He was a professor and Athletic Director in the School of Physical and Health Education. The connection of the two roles was critical in his philosophy that the athletic experience must have an academic grounding. Dick the educator, has always been open to those who needed assistance at any time. He communicated incessant confidence in, and encouragement to others. While he had high expectations of those around him, he was always positive, exuding optimism that was contagious. With this successful man conveying a message that a goal, task, or project could be accomplished, individuals left his presence with all doubts eradicated, energized to continue. During Dick’s years as a Lancer administrator (1957-1985), he was immersed in the operation of Ontario university athletics (OUAA & OWIAA) and the National interuniversity athletic association (CIAU). His most significant contributions may be associated with his leadership in the development and ongoing guidance of organizational constitutions, bylaws and operational procedures. He also was known as the league historian, maintaining records for many years. As women’s sport grew in the late 60s and early 70s, Dick was a leader in advocating for equity in programs based upon sex. He was vocal in standing up for what he believed was right, regardless of the anticipated response from others. His values, strength of conviction, and integrity are to be admired. His work ethic and his passion for his work and for people are evident in everything that he does. Dick’s most significant community work has been in founding the Bulimia and Anorexia Nervosa Association here in Windsor in 1983 along with his wife Mary. After the tragic death of his daughter Erin, he converted his sorrow in a positive way by deciding that he would do everything in his power to prevent families from having to go through the grief that his family experienced with the loss of a loved one. He recruited the right people, developed a structure, pursued its incorporation, and solicited funding to accomplish the organizational goals. Today’s existing Association is testament to Dick’s success of creating a Dr. Richard Moriarty: Congratulations on 60 Years at the University of Windsor dream and converting it to a reality. Even today in his retirement, Dick continues to lecture about the prevalence of eating disorders and the critical role that sport and physical activity can have in prevention. His commitment, dedication and energy are second to none. Dick has seen enormous change during his 60 year presence on our campus and has been a major contributor to many of these changes. His influence will be felt throughout the history of the institution as it continues to unfold for years to come. Submitted by Dr. Margery Holman Associate Professor 10 Dick Moriarty 1957
Dr. Margery Holman Retires With the arrival of September 2012, incoming Kinesiology students will face a future that hasn’t been seen for 42 years—a university experience without the benefit of one or more classes from Dr. Margery Holman, who will be officially retiring on August 31st. Marge holds the unique distinction of being a student in this university’s first graduating class in Physical & Health Education. She then went on to teach in that program for her entire University career in a variety of courses, such as Principles of Coaching, Ethics, and graduate and undergraduate Sport and Law. She created and began teaching a landmark course on Gender in Sport and Physical Activity in 1988. Marge’s love of sport and her commitment to excellence and equity have thus been stamped on each Kinesiology alumni since 1970. The Faculty Association and University administration have benefitted from her talents, including a threeyear secondment by the University President to have Marge create the first Employment Equity office on campus, including the task of developing the University’s first Sexual Harassment Policy. Her work has extended beyond our walls to benefit sport across campus and externally from the local to the international level. She served as the first Director of Women’s Sport at the University of Windsor for 18 years. Volleyball has remained a constant in her life – coaching the University women’s team, establishing the first women’s volleyball league and travel team in Windsor, serving as juror at the World Student Games, and being president of the CIAU Women’s Volleyball Association for years. She exemplifies an active personal life with weekly activities that include squash, dragon boat racing, golf, roller blading and multiple walks daily with her dog, Princess. Appropriately, she is a CAAWS facilitator for 11 HK their Women 55-70 & Physical Activity Initiative. Her wide-ranging efforts to increase equity and to decrease harassment and abuse in sport have made her a go-to person on these issues in academics, in athletics and in the media. A few of her recent awards include the Windsor Woman of the Year, the WESPY Builders Award (2010), and the Mary Lou Dietz Equity Leadership Award (2011). Faculty members in the Department of Kinesiology have decided to create the Margery Holman Legacy Award for Gender in Sport as a retirement tribute to ensure that her legacy of caring endures. This annual award will honour a Kinesiology student who excels in the study of gender. If you wish to honour Marge’s outstanding efforts in creating a sport world that is positive and accessible to all, please donate to this Legacy Award by following the donation link (http://www.uwindsor.ca/hk/tribute-to-dr-margery-holman). A charitable tax receipt will be issued to all donations over $10. We also hope you can join us at the Penalty Box for an open house luncheon/retirement party/fundraiser on Sunday, September 9th, anytime between 1-5pm ($25 ticket price, with proceeds going to the Legacy Award). You can contact me (parasch@uwindsor.ca) if you wish to buy a ticket and/or provide a comment by email that we will share with Marge at this event. Let’s make this Legacy Award a reality and ensure that Dr. Margery Holman will retire knowing that her work has made a difference in our lives, and that we will continue to support her efforts to improve sport in the future.
