CHANCELLOR’S MESSAGE JOHN PEACOCK ’63 Chancellor

Graduates: when you arrived at StFX, you participated in the Xaverian Welcome and recited the Xaverian Commitment. Last night, most of you attended the Xaverian Farewell and made the pledge to recommit yourself to the pursuit of excellence. You’ll soon transform, from StFX students to StFX alumni, joining a large group of graduates who proudly wear the X-Ring and think fondly of their days on campus. My wife, Adrienne, and I met here more than sixty years ago, and StFX feels to us what I imagine it’ll feel for you: like the beginning of our lives. I hesitate to mention things that will remind you that these are challenging times—probably more challenging than many of you have encountered to date, and certainly more challenging than some of our fellow alumni have had to face. But, and I say this with a great deal of conviction, your years at StFX have prepared you to meet the challenges that lay ahead. The Xaverian Commitment is not a baseless collection of words; it is what defines us. You are bright, committed individuals—and society needs you to make a difference. I have been trying to think about life on this campus in the early 1960s, and compare it to today. One thing that strikes me is the volume of information by which you are surrounded, every day. It is nearly impossible to escape the news, and I appreciate that much of the news these past few years has been bleak. Just when things seem hard, they get harder. You’re at a crossroads now: do you ignore what’s going on in the world around you, and succumb to feelings of helplessness? Or do you carve out a space for yourself, in which you can make some small difference? Those small differences add up to big change, so I hope you choose the latter.

Alumni Association President’s Message KATHLEEN SHERIDAN ’15 Ottawa, Ontario

Congratulations, graduates of the Class of 2022! You have made it! Through all that you have faced and overcome during these last few years, including the challenges of completing the majority of your degrees as the world faced a pandemic, you have reached this very important milestone. I hope you take a moment today to pause and truly reflect on this achievement in each of your lives. You should be so proud! All of the hard work and dedication it has taken to earn your degrees, from “Canada’s premier undergraduate institution,” has ensured you are each leaving as individuals who are more educated, more informed and more engaged citizens of the world, ready and able to tackle whatever lies ahead. Although this significant and special part of your lives is coming to a close, another exciting one awaits! I have no doubt that you will all continue to do amazing things. You are now officially members of the StFX Alumni Association, joining a legacy of 50,000 others who have come before you. This community will be here for you in the next phases of your lives, providing everything from a warm welcome at your first StFX Alumni Chapter event, to being a friendly face (and ring!) as you move to a new city, to offering career guidance, and so much more. We are looking forward to getting to know you all. Again, congratulations, and welcome to “Canada’s most engaged alumni network!” We are excited to have you join us and assist in our efforts to keep the StFX spirit alive for all alumni in the years to come. Hail and Health!

OUTSTANDING FACULTY TEACHING AWARD DR. CAROLE ROY Department of Adult Education

Dr. Carole Roy joined the StFX Department of Adult Education in 2007 where she has been providing students with opportunities for the development of critical thinking and reflective practice. Dr. Roy’s philosophy resonates with the teachings of Paulo Freire, who saw education as a process of emancipation. Offering encouragement for the exploration of creativity and innovation, she values and supports student engagement in community, since experiential learning sharpens learners’ theoretical knowledge. She brings enthusiasm, fosters courage, and enjoys the dynamic process of creating space for transformative learning in the classroom, as well as in individual conversations with students. Students often comment about the far-reaching impact of discussions: “I looked forward to class and it truly changed my way of thinking and my practice;” “Dr. Roy’s discussions helped me to be a better person and will continue to help me grow long after this course is done. I have rarely felt so engaged in an academic setting.” Dr. Roy brings to her teaching extensive experience of education in non-formal settings, from peace activism, international cross-cultural youth programs (Tunisia, Thailand, India, Uruguay), to documentary film programs and discussions in carceral settings. In the last 18 years, she co-organized annual documentary film festivals with the intention to provide a safe forum to explore and discuss social justice issues with the greater community. Supported by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, her many research projects have incorporated Dr. Roy’s values with the inclusion of students’ involvement as research assistants, co-presenters, and co-authors.

OUTSTANDING FACULTY TEACHING AWARD DR. KATARIN MACLEOD ’94 ’00 Departments of Teacher Education and Curriculum & Leadership

Dr. Katarin MacLeod began teaching at StFX in the Faculty of Education in 2009. She holds a PhD from the University of Toronto and completed undergraduate physics and Bachelor of Education degrees at StFX. Her doctoral dissertation received the Canadian Science Education Research Group’s Dissertation Award for the best doctoral dissertation on science education in Canada. Dr. MacLeod’s expertise is science education, viewed through the lens of a Science, Technology, Society, and Environment (STSE) perspective, which requires taking the content of science and placing it in a context that is meaningful for students. A consistent perspective voiced by her students is that “Dr. MacLeod’s teaching has truly impacted my views of science and how I plan to teach my classes.” Dr. MacLeod encourages and supports inquiry learning in all her courses. Her students describe her as an intuitive teacher, who understands when to talk and, importantly, when to listen. In Dr. MacLeod’s own words, “For me, teaching is about having high standards for my own professional practice. It is about remembering the humanity of teaching and learning, and that first and foremost, the student experience is paramount.” Along with her teaching, Dr. MacLeod is also actively involved in university service. She currently serves as Chair of the Senate Committee on Academic Integrity.

UNIVERSITY RESEARCH AWARD DR. MIKE MELCHIN Department of Earth Sciences

StFX earth sciences professor Dr. Michael Melchin is a prolific researcher who has published more than 120 refereed scientific journal papers. Dr. Melchin’s research is focused on understanding the response of life to a pivotal time interval of global change, some 500 and 400 million years ago. He has championed the use of elemental and isotopic geochemical techniques to understand the processes that govern the relationship between ocean water chemistry, nutrient supply and the diversification or extinction of species. Dr. Melchin has had continuous research support from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) since 1990 and his NSERC Discovery Grant was recently renewed until 2024. His research requires an extraordinary commitment of time and effort. He has provided numerous generations of StFX students with unique research experiences, including field work in the Arctic, the Canadian Rockies, and in China. These are remote and rugged areas for field research; many require expensive helicopter support, and he has been isolated on occasion for up to eight weeks. Dr. Melchin is the recipient of numerous prestigious awards, including visiting professorships and fellowships in other countries, such as the Czech Republic and China. He is a President’s Medal recipient and Distinguished Fellow of the Geological Association of Canada. In 2020 he was awarded a James Chair in Pure and Applied Sciences at StFX. In the community, Dr. Melchin’s abilities as a musician and organizer of charity concerts are legendary—to his colleagues, students, and community he truly is known as a ‘rock star.’

SENIOR CLASS SPEAKER MACKENZIE LE VERNOIS ’22 Bachelor of Science in Chemistry with Honours

Mackenzie Le Vernois graduates from StFX with a Bachelor of Science degree in chemistry with honours. Born in Dartmouth, NS, Mackenzie spent her childhood traveling throughout Canada and Europe as the child of a Canadian Armed Forces member. Returning to her east coast roots for post-secondary, she has made StFX her home away from home. Mackenzie has been actively involved in StFX Students’ Union, her residence community, and as a volunteer throughout her undergraduate studies. Her honours thesis focused on photocatalytic oxidative esterification, a more environmentally friendly chemical route to making pharmaceuticals. Thanks to NSERC Undergraduate Research Awards, Mackenzie spent two pandemic summers working on her research project and exploring the beaches of Antigonish with her roommates. After graduation, Mackenzie is excited to stay at StFX to pursue an MSc in earth sciences and continue her adventures on the east coast.

DOCTOR OF LAWS HONORIS CAUSA MINH KAUFFMAN Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Minh Kauffman, an innovator in international educational exchange and community development, was born Nguyen Thi Minh in Hanoi and raised in Saigon. She journeyed to Goshen College, Goshen, Indiana in 1969, her personal path of international education. Following graduation, Kauffman taught second grade for two years. In 1976, she and her husband Fred Kauffman began a 13-year series of international service assignments through Mennonite Central Committee (MCC). In 1990, the Kauffmans created the Education Exchange Center (CEEVN) as a project of the MCC Vietnam program, to strengthen linkages between Vietnamese and American scholars and academic institutions at a time when Vietnam was isolated, and the U.S. trade embargo made contact challenging. CEEVN became an American Council of Learned Societies (ACLS) subsidiary in 1994. Under her leadership, CEEVN began managing the Fulbright Fellowships for Vietnamese scholars and later added the Vietnam portion of the Ford Foundation International Fellowships Program (2000-13). From 1992-2009, she facilitated many other Ford-funded programs. Starting in 2006, Minh partnered with StFX’s Coady Institute, a collaboration that included co-creating social justice fora to bring CEEVN alumni cohorts together to work for the betterment of Vietnamese society. Under Kauffman’s leadership, ACLS-CEEVN managed over $45 million in grants and funded nearly 2,000 fellowships, study tours, and grants to Vietnamese scholars and organizations. She’s received the 2005 Friendship Medal from Vietnamese President Tran Duc Luong and has been called “the most important person involved in the creation of meaningful relations between Vietnam and the United States.” Believing CEEVN’s mission complete, Kauffman retired and closed its offices in 2020. She’d worked the previous years with CEEVN alumni, creating the Stronger Together Center that will preserve and grow its legacy. The Excellent Bridge, published by ACLS in 2020, recounts CEEVN’s history. Fred Kauffman passed away in 2019. Minh Kauffman lives in both Philadelphia, with son Timothy, and in Nashville, with son Tony and daughter-in-law Nadia. 28

OUTSTANDING FACULTY TEACHING AWARD DR. ZEYNEP OZKOK ’07 Department of Economics

Dr. Zeynep Ozkok graduated from St. Francis Xavier University with a BA with first class honours in economics in 2007. Following the completion of her PhD in economics at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid in 2013, Dr. Ozkok returned to her alma mater to teach at the Department of Economics. Since then, Dr. Ozkok has been teaching core macroeconomic theory courses as well as courses on international economics and development economics. Having experienced a variety of educational systems throughout her studies in Turkey, Australia, Spain, Canada and in the United States, Dr. Ozkok aspires to provide her students with a learning experience that they can enjoy and from which they will benefit. Dr. Ozkok has worked extensively with international students having shared their experience of studying at StFX. She continues to supervise thesis students and co-author academic papers with her students. In their nomination, students describe Dr. Ozkok’s passion for development economics, saying that they “can hear in her voice how strongly this subject resonates with her,” covering topics such as girls’ education, income inequality, and the multifaceted effects of poverty. Her students note that empathy and a love of learning shine through her teaching. As they put it, “Zeynep’s kindness and generosity simply cannot be overstated. Her passion for students’ success will forever be something that we remember.”

Description of Degree Hoods All hoods for earned degrees at this university follow the approved design and colour coding of the Intercollegiate Bureau of Academic Costume. This guarantees uniqueness of design and colour arrangement for the academic hoods of each university. For purposes of academic regalia, the university colours are described as Yale blue and white, and they are used in identical fashion in the hoods for all earned degrees. That is to say, the lining for hoods are all the same and serve to identify the university rather than any particular degree. This lining, therefore, is blue divided by a chevron of white. The binding or edging of the hood is of velvet, two inches wide for all bachelor’s degrees and three inches wide for all master’s degrees and five inches for PhD. The academic discipline is recognizable from the colour of this velvet binding or trim. Degree candidates will wear gowns and the hood of the degree to be received. Colours of the lining of the hood are exposed over the left shoulder, velvet trim and black shell on the right shoulder. Diploma candidates will wear collars. If candidate also has a degree, the colours of that degree should be worn.

QUAECUMQUE SUNT VERA Whatsoever things are true Philippians 4:4–9 The St. Francis Xavier University motto is taken from the letter of Paul to the Philippians. The following is an excerpt from the epistle. I want you to be happy, always happy in the Lord; I repeat, what I want is your happiness. Let your tolerance be evident to everyone: the Lord is very near. There is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving, and that peace of God, which is so much greater than we can understand, will guard your hearts and your thoughts, in Christ Jesus. Finally, beloved, fill your minds with everything that is true, everything that is noble, everything that is good and pure, everything that we love and honour, and everything that can be thought virtuous or worthy of praise. Keep doing all the things that you learned from me and have been taught by me and have heard or seen that I do. Then the God of peace will be with you.
