2005-2006 Report on Philanthropy by Trent University

Trent University Report on Philanthropy 2005/2006

MAKING A DIFFERENCE: The Hamlin Family Legacy “If you think Trent made a difference in your past – you need to make a difference now.” This statement, spoken by Trent alumnus Brian Hamlin, highlights how strongly Mr. Hamlin feels about supporting an institution and a cause he believes in. It is a feeling that he shares with his family, one of Trent’s leading philanthropic supporters, whose philosophy is to work toward creating a culture of helping. In putting this philosophy into practice, the Hamlin Family Fund has established significant endowed bursaries. Started over the course of 2004/2005, their sizeable gift, matched by the Ontario Government’s OSOTF and OTSS program, resulted in a total gift of over one million dollars. The endowment will eventually provide $40,000 per year per year for the Hamlin Family Bursaries in support of students in financial need. From his home office, located on the second floor of a spectacular horse barn overlooking 30 acres in Collingwood, Ontario, Brian Hamlin reflects on the legacy that his family is leaving behind at Trent. It is a legacy that Mr. Hamlin, who graduated from Trent in 1988 with a degree in Environmental Resource Studies and Geography, greatly believes in, especially since he credits Trent with providing “the foundation for my character development.” Within his first few weeks on campus, Mr. Hamlin knew that he had made the right choice when he chose Trent. Citing the natural beauty of the campus and the vast opportunities to explore life from both an academic and personal perspective, Mr. Hamlin says that, from the beginning, Trent was just the “right fit.” And it is this sense of belonging and connection to Trent that Mr. Hamlin has carried with him throughout his life. Whether it is through his 20 plus year relationship with the Tall Boys, a band Mr. Hamlin formed with friends at

Trent, or his decision to attain his Bachelor of Education degree from Memorial University because it had the same “feel” as Trent, staying connected and making a difference at his alma mater has always been a priority. After teaching for a number of years in Collingwood, Ontario, Mr. Hamlin took early leave to pursue his interest in the new challenge of Independent Wealth Management. In addition to this role, Mr. Hamlin directs the Hamlin Family Fund, which is run through the Hamilton Community Foundation. His father, Ross, while working in Toronto, met and befriended Ted Tremain, a member of Trent’s Board of Governors. Asked about the impact the Hamlin Family Bursaries will have on students at Trent, Mr. Hamlin describes it as an opportunity to “level the playing field,” allowing students in need to continue and complete their education while minimizing the financial burden. Mr. Hamlin stresses that, although the bursaries assist individual students, the goal of the family’s support is to help a number of students. “It’s not about who finishes first but how many finish in total,” Mr. Hamlin explains. To date, the impact of the Hamlin family’s support is already being felt by a number of students – especially the first five recipients of the bursary who were each awarded $3,000 in February 2006. Mr. Hamlin says that hearing from this group of particular students (which includes sole-support parents, a landed immigrant struggling to gain a Canadian degree, and students with exceptional transportation costs) and the difference the bursary will make in their lives is a reward in itself. Looking to the future and thinking about the significant difference the Hamlin Family Bursaries will make in the lives of Trent students for years to come, it is not hard to see why the Hamlin Family believes so strongly in philanthropy and supporting the causes they most believe in.

BALANCING INNOVATION WITH ACADEMIC TRADITION “From a gleam in the eye came the birth of Trent,” read the headline in the Peterborough Examiner the day following the opening ceremonies for the University in October 1964. As an institution profoundly anchored in philanthropy, Trent University has a history of giving and volunteerism that stands out among Canadian postsecondary institutions. There had been impassioned discussions of a university in Peterborough in the 1950s and an historic letter to the editor sparked a groundswell of support in the community that birthed a university out of shear determination – and pure philanthropy.

Dianne Lister LL.B., CFRE Vice-President External Relations and Advancement

Trent’s breathtaking natural setting today is the result of a generous gift of 100 acres of land from General Electric, the largest employer in the region at that time. And it was the will of GE employees – payroll deductions from production line workers to managers – that laid the foundations for this great University.

much a part of the Trent experience: close relationships between students and faculty, choice and ﬂexibility, social and environmental consciousness, the intimacy and opportunity inherent in the college system, equal focus on the humanities, social and natural sciences, and this bedrock of philanthropy and community engagement.

The engagement of our many volunteers is the fuel that powered the success of last year’s fundraising efforts. The $3.8 million raised and matching funds accessed were the product of countless events, meetings, visits, and calls that would not be possible without the leadership and support of members of the University’s Board of Governors, retired and The engagement of honorary Board members, the Fundraising Council, Advancement Committee, our many volunteers Foundation Board of Directors, Alumni Council, Chapter presidents, and hundreds is the fuel that of individual volunteers who give their time and their talent. powered the success

VOLUNTEERING:

The Heart of the Trent Community

Some people donate much needed funding to Trent University. Others give their time and experience. It is people like David Morton and Patricia Owens Morton, however, that bring tremendous benefit to the Trent community by providing both. “Communities benefit from the participation of volunteers. When you volunteer, it’s an opportunity to help people and learn as you go,” says Mr. Morton. “If one has the time and inclination to volunteer, then they’ll have a much more enriching life. Volunteer work is exceptionally valuable.” Mr. Morton volunteers as a member of Trent University’s Board of Governors. He is a retired President and CEO of the Quaker Oats Co. A graduate of the University of Toronto (B.A.), he received his MBA at York University and was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Laws from Trent University in 2002. Mr. Morton has served on boards in the private and public sectors and currently is the Vice Chair of Entertainment and Board Member for the Peterborough Festival of Lights, Vice Chair of the Frontier College Board, and a committee member for the Peter Gzowski Invitational for Literacy. Previously, Mr. Morton served as Chair of Five Counties Children Centre, Vice-Chair of the Fleming College Board, and Chair of the successful Breaking Ground Campaign for a new Peterborough Regional Health Centre. He received Peterborough’s Volunteer of the Year Award in 2002. In addition to his volunteer work at Trent, Mr. Morton and his wife, Dr. Patricia Owens Morton, have also provided a generous donation of $250,000 to the University. These funds are being used for two initiatives at Trent: the construction of the now complete Morton Owens Lecture Hall in the First Peoples House of Learning at Peter Gzowski College, and an endowed scholarship to support an Indigenous Studies graduate student. Dr. Owens Morton, professor emerita, retired from Trent University in 2002 after 26 years of service. She is the author of numerous published historical essays and the book Disfigured Images: The

Historical Assault on African American Women. She is also an accomplished editor, notably editing Discovering the Woman in Slavery: Emancipating Perspectives on the American Past in 1996. She is also an active member of the community, having served in numerous capacities including the Peterborough Planning Board. Dr. Owens Morton’s current volunteer interests focus on the areas of literacy and the relief of poverty. Her service to the University community has included contributions to the Faculty Association and numerous system-wide and departmental committees, as well as the role of Senior Tutor at Lady Eaton College. At an event held to recognize their donation, Mr. Morton stated: “I have always had a great admiration for Trent University…its goals, its dreams and its values…much of which I have learned first hand through Patricia’s long involvement at Trent as a Professor. Of course, like millions of other Canadians, I also had tremendous respect and affection for the late Peter Gzowski who was a great Canadian, a great human being and, I’m proud to say, a cherished friend. Peter always expressed his great affection for Trent both publicly and privately, and consequently, it is very gratifying for Patricia and me to be able to both assist Trent and, at the same time, honour Peter Gzowski by playing a part in establishing a College in his name at the University he loved so much.” Dr. Owens Morton added: “It is exciting to see the special association of the College with Native Studies, which exemplifies Peter Gzowski’s vision of a Canada enriched by a diversity of peoples and cultures. The establishment of a graduate scholarship in Native Studies also reflects our conviction that because history has by no means been kind or fair to First Nations peoples, it is important that they be provided with real opportunities and hope. For that reason too, we feel that it is appropriate that the new Lecture Hall’s naming be inclusive of the Nishinaabe word for ‘hope’: Bgwasendamowin.”

ESTATE GIFTS AND BEQUESTS SUPPORT EDUCATION AND RESEARCH AT TRENT

Bews Family’s Legacy of Giving Helps Students, Targets Alzheimer’s

What could be a more meaningful legacy than a planned gift that supports quality education and globally significant research? The lasting nature of these gifts can be a tribute to a lifetime of appreciation for the important role education and research play in our society. The Trent University Foundation provides opportunities for donors who wish to make gifts to Trent University, either now or through their wills, in order to support education and research.

John Cassaday

THE PERFECT FIT: Corus Entertainment’s Gift to Canadian & Indigenous Culture

“Gzowski College and the First Peoples Performance Space were a terriﬁc ﬁt given our cultural mandate.”

The view from CEO John Cassaday’s office at Corus Entertainment headquarters in the heart of Toronto’s financial district takes in an awe-inspiring expanse of office towers, hotels, roads and expressways. Lake Ontario glitters in the distance as Mr. Cassaday sits before a bank of television sets – each one broadcasting a different Corus station. This visual correlation between Corus and the outside world is a fitting metaphor for Mr. Cassaday’s vision for the Canadianbased media and entertainment company he heads. In every way, he sees Corus as being intimately connected to its various communities – both business-wise and philanthropically.

Nozhem First Peoples Performance Space, something just clicked. “Gzowski College and the First Peoples Performance Space were a terriﬁc ﬁt given our cultural mandate,” says Mr. Cassaday. “And given the cultural import of Trent to the local community which we serve through TV (CHEX Television) and radio (The Wolf and 980 KRUZ), we took the time to talk about ways in which Corus Entertainment could help.”

“We’re a values-driven organization,” says Mr. Cassaday. “It’s important to give back to the community. We created Corus Entertainment in ’99 and we set out to try to encourage employees to contribute to the communities where we do business.”

The result was a $200,000 contribution: a $100,000 gift of cash to support the creation of the Nozhem First Peoples Performance Space with a mandate to preserve Indigenous language and culture, and $100,000 of inkind air time that would help the University to launch its ﬁrst major advertising campaign – to build awareness and recruit new students. Trent was able to run a series of seven radio commercials in key markets with the support of Corus Entertainment.

So when Mr. Cassaday was approached by Trent Board of Governors member David Morton with a proposal to support Trent’s brand new Peter Gzowski College and the

Support from Corus’ regional leadership was equally strong, according to Kathleen McNair, Vice President and General Manager, Radio and TV, Peterborough

and Oshawa. “This is a terriﬁc partnership between local media outlets and an important institution of learning, and it reﬂects two of Corus’ key core values: knowledge and innovation,” she says. Mr. Cassaday strongly believes in promoting the importance of university education. “An undergraduate education creates an opportunity to learn and be exposed to different ideas,” he says. “I’m a big believer in a broad-based education that plants the seed for lifelong learning.”

Janet Bews Bill & Verna Bews

“Trent is doing a good job in deﬁning the difference they offer from more urban universities,” he adds. “Trent offers the ability to get a world-class education within an environment unique to Peterborough and its surrounding area.” “Our air time is a scarce and valuable commodity and we give it out sparingly. This idea was a way of leveraging our cash gift far beyond the donation and providing support to the University to build awareness for its cause with other Canadians.”

Irene Curtin Helps Build Bata Library Collection and Beneﬁts Graduate Students

Ms. Curtin was born on January 1, 1920 on a farm near Westwood, Ontario. She trained to become a nurse at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Peterborough, graduating in 1949, after serving in the Royal Canadian Air Force during the Second World War. She returned to nursing after service in the military, working in various hospitals before settling in London, Ontario.

Mr. McArthur is the former President of Colgate Palmolive Canada, having previously worked with Colgate in several countries around the world, including the U.S., Mexico, Italy and Malaysia. He earned his MBA at the University of Western Ontario in London. Originally from Peterborough, Mr. McArthur still has family here and remains active in the local community. By contributing to research projects at Trent, he sees it as an opportunity to pursue his interest in the environment and related areas.

For more information, please contact the Advancement Ofﬁce at Trent University.

The Trent University Foundation is grateful to people who have remembered Trent University in their will. Generations of students will benefit from these legacy gifts.

Fortunately for thousands of Trent University students, Ms. Curtin translated this love for education into a planned gift that would help generations of students. When Ms. Curtin recently passed away, her estate provided a generous bequest of $854,000 to Trent University. A portion of the bequest was used to establish the Edwin William Curtin and Irene Elizabeth Curtin Graduate Scholarship, an endowed scholarship. The scholarship will be awarded for the ﬁrst time this year to a graduate student in Trent University’s Watershed Ecosystems Program. The remainder of the bequest will be used to enhance the Bata Library. To date, $100,000 has been used for new library acquisitions.

“I’m pleased that my donations enable Trent University to pursue outstanding research,” says Mr. McArthur. “Whether you’re concerned about the environment, Indigenous culture, the humanities, or other research areas, Trent has an impressive record of achievement. This kind of innovation is critical to our quality of life, not only today, but for future generations as well.”

If you would like to contribute like Mr. McArthur, there are many ways you can be a part of Trent’s research success. Your contributions towards research costs, equipment, or student research support will sustain Trent’s leadership in this ﬁeld well into the future. You may even be able to take advantage of government programs that match or multiply your gift.

The Bews Scholarship will be awarded to students of Traill College in their second, third, or fourth year. It is anticipated that this endowed fund will provide full tuition to at least three students, one in each of Ancient History and Classics, Modern Languages, and English Literature. The scholarships will be awarded for the ﬁrst time in 2006-07.

A charitable gift by will has many positive implications including: allowing you to make a significant and meaningful contribution to support education and research at Trent University; providing a lasting expression of your life; giving you the opportunity to establish a memorial fund in your name or for your family or someone else who has made a difference in your life; and minimizing taxes to be paid by your estate.

Irene Elizabeth Curtin (nee Kidd) was interested in education, always pushing her students to attain a higher goal. Without a family of her own, she focused her energy on helping students achieve higher education.

Trent University Fundraising Council member Gord McArthur’s ﬁnancial gifts are helping to bring groundbreaking research to life at Trent.

Professor Bews’s gift in 2000 was followed by a bequest in the will of her mother, Vena Bews, in September 2005. Bill and Vena Bews were very proud of their only daughter Janet. According to Sheila Saunders, executor for the Bews estate and Vena’s cousin, “they followed Janet’s academic career closely and with great pride. The establishment of scholarships through this fund was another way to help young people continue their education and beneﬁt from post-secondary education as Janet did.”

Established in August 2000, the Janet Bews Nursing Scholarship in Alzheimer Disease and Related Dementias is awarded to a fourth year student enrolled in the TrentFleming Nursing Program and is based on academic merit and an essay application process to a candidate showing a career interest in nursing care for persons with dementia. Professor Bews did her doctoral work at Royal Holloway College in the 1960s and her undergraduate work at Queen’s University. In 1966, she became one of the founding department members, and taught with great enthusiasm. She was respected by her students and

colleagues for a third of a century until her retirement in 1999.

It’s obvious in her gift to Trent University that Professor Janet Bews had a concern for issues surrounding the elderly, speciﬁcally Alzheimer’s and dementia. Professor Bews used a planned gift to Trent University to ensure that care for those suffering with these afﬂictions would evolve and improve. A former president of the Peterborough and Area Alzheimer Society from 19982000, Professor Bews was also an outstanding academic and a member of the Trent faculty in the Ancient History and Classics Department between 1966 and 1999.

The Foundation’s planned giving program is a key component of Trent University’s long-range strategy to ensure the continuation of high quality post-secondary education. Gifts of cash, life insurance, real estate, stocks, mutual funds, art and other assets will support education and research at Trent and provide you with tax savings.

While in London, she pursued nursing at Victoria Hospital and took part-time courses at Western University, graduating with a Master’s degree in Sociology. She taught nursing at Fanshawe College from 1961-1985. Upon her retirement, she returned to Peterborough.

Professor Drain is currently a faculty member with the Department of English at Mount Saint Vincent University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She has established a reputation as a professor dedicated to excellence in teaching and encouraging excellence in others. Most recently, she was named a 2006 3M Teaching Fellow, a first for Mount Saint Vincent University. Previously, she has been recognized with the 2002 Mount Saint Vincent’s University Award for Instructional Leadership in the field of writing, and the 2003 Association of Atlantic Universities Instructional Leadership Award. Professor Drain says she is enjoying her role at Mount Saint Vincent University because “it’s a great place for a feminist and its values are similar to those of Trent University – small classes, lots of contact between faculty and students. It’s a good fit.”

Professor Susan Drain

“Trent made me. It gave me a chance to reinvent myself from my high school person. I was supported in everything I tried at Trent, both academically and in theatre. The support I received from faculty and others at Trent opened doors for me and created new opportunities not considered before. Trent set me on my career,” says Professor Susan Drain ’68, one of 19 of Trent’s most accomplished alumni recognized earlier this year at an historic ceremony held at the University. “It was a wonderful experience and I was absolutely delighted,” says Professor Drain. “It conﬁrmed and acknowledged a tie I felt I had to Trent, it was nice to have Trent say we feel good about you, and it was an honour to be in the company of other distinguished alumni.” She says the occasion was particularly special thanks to the generous support of Clearsight Wealth Management, which enabled “almost my entire family” to participate. Susan’s parents, sister (also a Trent alumna), and niece (a future Trent graduate), were all present to see her receive a Distinguished Alumni Award. The Distinguished Alumni Award is presented on the basis of a Trent graduate’s achievement and leadership in their respective ﬁeld. All 19 recipients have shown leadership in business, industry, a profession, or in public life. They have also brought honour to Trent

Professor Drain continues to be a regular contributor to Trent, participating in the Monthly Giving Program. She chooses to make a regular, monthly contribution because, she says, “I don’t notice it and when I do, I feel good about it.”

“Peter Gzowski was a man who gave me enormous pleasure for many years and who really, more than anyone else in the media, gave me a sense of our country. So in many ways, building a college for all people, but particularly emanating from the Aboriginal tradition, was a source of enormous pleasure for me,” says Michael Levine. Michael Levine is a long-time supporter of Trent University and cochair of the successful Peter Gzowski College Campaign, which raised more than one million dollars to help complete this new college, named in honour of one of Canada’s best-loved journalists and broadcasters and a past Trent Chancellor. Under the leadership of Mr. Levine and fellow co-chairs Ana P. Lopes, Jack Rabinovitch, and Bob Rae, Enweying, the building that houses Peter Gzowski College and the First Peoples House of Learning (FPHL), opened in 2005.

Recently, campaign co-chair Michael Levine had the opportunity to reflect on his involvement in this milestone event. Mr. Levine is a partner in the Toronto office of Goodmans Barristers and Solicitors and his practice concentrates on the legal aspects of the entertainment industry, primarily the financing, production and distribution of films, television productions, music, books and multimedia.

Alumnus Philip Playfair Makes Trent Giving a Priority

Philip Playfair is a man with a generous spirit and, until recently, someone with very little time on his hands. For the past two years, this successful Trent alumnus and businessman has put extra hours into his already busy days by chairing Trent University’s Annual Fund Leadership Giving Program. Leadership Giving Program has enjoyed a 300 per cent increase in donations since its establishment in May 2002. During Mr. Playfair’s tenure as chair, the program generated over $460,000 in funds for the University’s Annual

Campaign, and leadership donations received in 2005/06 were up 11 per cent over donations received in the previous year. These results are a testament to Mr. Playfair’s tenacity and ability to influence others. A long-time contributor to Trent, Mr. Playfair believes that “Trent University’s original mission is still valid today and needs continued support.” Leadership donors are those individuals who gave $500 or more annually to the University’s Annual Fund. For the 2006/07 Annual Campaign, a Leadership Donor will be someone who contributes $1,000 or more. These donations are contributions to Trent University’s Annual Fund, which is designed to support the greatest needs of students. Everyone from alumni, friends, students and parents, to faculty, staff and board members donate to the Fund. Reflecting upon his Leadership Giving Program experience, Mr. Playfair says: “Encouraging people to give a bit more is important. There is huge potential for giving and, as a community, we should really try and maximize that potential.” Asked about how he became interested and involved in giving, Mr. Playfair replies, “I believe in leading by example. Since graduation, my donation dollars have historically gone to Trent. The concept of giving was instilled in me at a very young age because my father was an Anglican priest and he gave 10 per cent of his income back to the church. For me, my experiences at Trent were always positive. The education I received influences and affects me to this day. It taught me how to think and really gave me the skills to continue learning. For that, I am eternally grateful and one

“Trent does a tremendous job producing thinkers and generalists. And quite frankly, thinkers and generalists are leaders.” 12

of the easiest ways to give back is to give dollars… generously.” Not only does Mr. Playfair believe he benefited professionally from his experience at Trent, but he also met his wife, Jacqueline Code, here. Another Trent alumni success story, Ms. Code, a multiple Symons Medal winner, was recently promoted to partner at Toronto-based legal firm Osler, Hoskin and Harcourt LLP. Together, they reside in Toronto with their two boys, Graeme, four, and Iain, two. With two full-time careers and a young family to care for, theirs is a busy home, but Mr. Playfair still finds time to demonstrate his commitment to Trent. Throughout his time as Leadership Giving Program chair, Mr. Playfair has also been busy traveling the continent and building a business. He was the former Chief Marketing Officer and a former founding partner of Advanced Utility Systems, a software company focused on billing and customer service software for the utility industry in North America and the Caribbean. On June 14, 2006, Advanced Utility Systems was acquired by Napean, Ontario-based Harris Computer Systems. This fruitful transaction has given Mr. Playfair the freedom to take a year off to “enjoy more time with my family and plan for my next business.” Mr. Playfair will continue his involvement with the Leadership Giving Program as a member of the committee in 2006/07.

Mr. Levine’s connection with Trent began through his long-time friend Professor Michael Peterman, Principal of Traill College. “My relationship with Trent grew with Dr. Peterman introducing me to successive presidents, fundraisers and various board members. I just became entranced by an institution that really focused on the undergraduate and I think represents some very, very solid and important values.”

Enweying, which means “The Way We Speak Together” in Anishnaabe, provides a truly unique space to celebrate Indigenous thought, culture and performing arts. Inside, the FPHL is home to the Indigenous Studies department and related ofﬁces, a lecture hall, a Gathering Space, a Ceremonial Space, and Nozhem: The First People’s Performance Space, the ﬁrst of its kind in Canada to be located at a teaching institution.

SUPPORTING A MAKER OF TOP THINKERS: “I believe in what Trent does as a liberal arts institution,” says Trent alumnus Philip Playfair. “Teaching people how to think and giving them the tools to think is a fundamentally important aspect of our society which often gets lost. There is such a focus on specialization that we’re not necessarily producing the best citizens right now. Trent does a tremendous job producing thinkers and generalists. And quite frankly, thinkers and generalists are leaders.”

importantly, it’s becoming a part of Canadian heritage. If you invest in your society, then you feel a greater sense of responsibility for it.”

Mr. Levine’s involvement as campaign co-chair, and his personal support for the Gzowski Campaign, has also enabled him to support Aboriginal programming at Trent, programming he values and believes others benefit from. As one of the first universities in North America to establish a department dedicated to the study of Indigenous peoples, Trent is an institution Mr. Levine is pleased to support. “I felt that by having an Aboriginal college, in which young people of Aboriginal origin could participate within the wider community, would provide them with both a sense of their own culture and their ability to communicate that culture to the wider population,” says Mr. Levine as he reflects on becoming involved in the Gzowski campaign. “By building this college, we have created a place that can be a central home of Aboriginal cultures within the University. It can very much be a meeting place for others to gain that understanding or communication.” According to Mr. Levine, as Canadians we all have a responsibility to be involved in social and philanthropic activities: “I was instructed by my father that I had a responsibility to share with others in the community both my time and my income,” he explains. “Therefore, to me, it’s a natural part of my heritage. But I think more

Michael Levine

In addition to his work with Trent, Mr. Levine is also the founding Director of The Canadian Film Centre and is a former Director of TV Ontario, Access Alberta, the Festival of Festivals, and the Young Naturalist Foundation. He also holds the title of former Chairman of the Festival Trade Forum. Currently, Mr. Levine holds many other positions, including: Chairman of Westwood Creative Artists Ltd.; Chairperson of Bravo!FACT; Executive Producer of the Heritage Project for The Historica Foundation; Co-Chair of Master Planning and a former director of the Royal Ontario Museum; and a Director of the Corporation of Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall. Mr. Levine believes it’s important that an individual’s path and their contributions in life be guided by their own personal values and interests: “If there was one lesson that I gave to all of my children it was that it is irrelevant what your father or your mother or your grandparents did; what is relevant is that you ﬁnd your own purpose in life.” Looking back at his own involvement in various initiatives and committees, his position as Gzowski Campaign co-chair at Trent is one of which Mr. Levine is particularly proud. According to Mr. Levine, it was, after all, an opportunity to be part of an initiative where many people will beneﬁt from the generosity of all those who contributed.

New Incentive for Donors

ELIMINATION OF CAPITAL GAINS TAX ON GIFTS OF STOCKS AND SECURITIES Did you know that in its May 2, 2006 budget, the federal government announced that it was eliminating the capital gains tax on gifts of appreciated securities to charities? This new legislative provision makes gifts of appreciated securities an even more attractive option for all donors. If you are considering a donation to Trent University and you own publicly listed

securities – stocks, bonds, mutual fund units or shares – that have appreciated in value, you may want to consider transferring these directly to the University, rather than cashing them in to make a donation. Why? If you cash in these securities, you have to include 50 per cent of the capital gain (how much they’ve increased in value) in your income for the year. If you donate

the securities directly to the University, you do not include any of the capital gain in your income, and you still beneﬁt from the tax receipt for your gift. If you have questions about making a gift of securities, please contact Sherry Booth in the Advancement Ofﬁce at Trent University, (705) 748-1011 x7593.

STUDENTS AND ATHLETICS: New Alumni House Brings Multiple Benefits to Trent Campus Trent University’s much anticipated, new Alumni House is going to make a big impact by supporting and enhancing a number of different programs and initiatives across the University and in the community. Located in the Master’s Lodge in Champlain College, Alumni House will not only be the new home of the Trent Alumni Association, it will also be a focal point on the Trent campus – a space that can be used by the University for various activities and to showcase the original Ron Thom architecture that makes the Trent environment so unique. “The Champlain Master’s Lodge is arguably one of Master Architect Ron Thom’s finest works,” says Tony Storey, Director of Alumni Affairs at Trent. “Visiting the Alumni House is an opportunity to conserve, salute and celebrate the work and influence of Ron Thom.” Aside from highlighting the architecture, the Alumni House will serve many important purposes. Perhaps one of the most vital will be to provide a new, on-campus location for Trent’s Alumni Association, a move that is the product of nearly a decade of discussions regarding the need for a visible, main campus headquarters. In a

2003 on-line survey, over 70 per cent of alumni recommended the development of such of a house. According to Mr. Storey, the presence of Alumni House on the Symons campus brings multiple beneﬁts to alumni, students, staff and faculty and other special guests visiting the University. More speciﬁcally, it provides several key opportunities, including: • enhanced undergraduate and university community awareness of the Alumni Association and its programs of support for the University and its students; • the engagement of and interaction with current students, thereby setting the stage for elevated young alumni relationships; • a positive environment for alumni affairs staff and leaders, alumni and visitors; • a main campus destination and improved space where alumni will be welcomed and assisted with their visit to the University; and • a permanent home for the Alumni Association’s Hall of Fame and heritage collections. “Alumni House is a powerful symbol of Alumni citizenship, with both its privileges and responsibilities, within the University and among the alumni membership,” says Mr. Storey.

Alumni House will also be used by the Continuing Education Department for much-needed teaching space, and available kitchen facilities will be used for baking by The Seasoned Spoon, a student co-op-run restaurant located on campus. Alumni House can also be used as a meeting space for workshops, seminars and other social gatherings. As well, notes Mr. Storey, “Alumni House will provide high quality accommodation for visiting scholars, alumni-in-residence and university visitors…continuing the college tradition of enriching university life through the day-to-day, residential participation of distinguished scholars and alumni.”

goal of this project is to ensure this architectural gem is in a very high quality condition when we ﬁnish its enhancements. We also plan to develop a commemorative display about Master Architect Ron Thom to give visitors a greater appreciation for the signiﬁcance of this building in Trent’s history.”

The reassignment of the Master’s Lodge into the Alumni House began in August 2006

The development of Alumni House is being funded thanks to Alumni Leaders (past and present), with a total goal of $250,000. To date, the campaign has raised $105,000. It is anticipated the campaign and related building enhancements will conclude in April 2007 and a grand opening is planned for spring 2007.

Over the next 12 months, Alumni House will receive some much-needed repair and renovation to restore the building to its original splendor. “The building is a unique combination of brick, stone and wood, located on the Otonabee River. The courtyard garden will be transformed into a feature garden – a place for reﬂection – a separate patio will allow for al fresco dining with a view of the river,” Mr. Storey explains. “An important

Preliminary estimates to repair deﬁciencies, renovate washrooms, upgrade furnishings and improve accessibility, and related fundraising costs total $150,000. An additional $100,000 Alumni House Endowment Fund is being established to help with future improvements.

Trent University students have made their commitment to Athletics and Recreation known and they are already benefiting from the results. In the fall of 2004 a referendum was held in which students enthusiastically voted in favour of a fee to support Trent’s athletic facilities development. Broadening opportunities for health, fitness and recreation were the driving forces behind these improvements, which kicked-off in the fall of 2005 with the completion of a state-of-the-art artificial grass stadium field.

A Winning Combination my Trent experience, the one major drawback of coming was the lack of suitable athletics facilities. Since the fee has been implemented I have seen a massive change and I am glad I supported it.”

Bill Byrick, director of Athletics and Recreation at Trent, says, “The response to the new stadium ﬁeld from students, faculty, staff and community members has been overwhelmingly positive.”

The first phase of the athletic facilities development will continue to move forward with the addition of stadium seating, a press box, and a score clock for the stadium field. A natural turf field on the east bank of Symons Campus and outdoor recreation projects will round out this phase of developments. The cost is $500,000.

As for the students, Thomas Gibson says, “I supported the student fee because as much as I have enjoyed

“We anticipate funding momentum for Phase I will continue with the support of alumni and friends, who will do their

Following his death, the family requested that donations be made to the Aidan Lumley Memorial Fund through Trent University’s Advancement Ofﬁce. An Aidan Lumley Bursary is currently in development, and while the recipient criteria are yet to be deﬁned, the annual award will be given to a member of Trent’s swim team.

“Michael Treadwell sounds like a wonderful man. It’s quite remarkable and I’m very honoured by this,” says Ms. Wyatt, whose scholarship is renewable in each of her four years at Trent so long as she maintains an average of 80 per cent. In her scholarship application essay to Trent University, Leah Wyatt describes herself as a “hardworking, highly motivated person and an active leader,” adding: “My life experiences, personal qualities and strengths, and my academic and professional goals, led me to select Trent University as my ﬁrst choice for my undergraduate degree.” Ms. Wyatt graduated from the Frontenac Secondary School French Immersion program in Kingston, Ontario, where she achieved honour roll status in each of her years in high school, graduating with a 95 per cent average and acquiring

numerous academic awards along the way. She is also a committed athlete, an active volunteer in her community, and a graduate of the Outreach Wilderness Camp Instructor Course. In September 2005, Ms. Wyatt brought her world of experience to Trent University and has recently completed her ﬁrst year as an English major.

quickly attained, with donations from friends locally and from colleagues around the world, providing testimony to the fact that Professor Treadwell had touched many, many lives.

“All of my experiences have made me happy, inspired, passionate and motivated,” she says. Professor Michael Treadwell would be pleased.

Prior to learning about her scholarship award, Trent University was Ms. Wyatt’s ﬁrst choice for post-secondary education. Her sister, Mara Wyatt, has just completed her third-year as a Trent student, studying abroad in Wales. Previous visits to the University convinced Ms. Wyatt that this was the place where she also wanted to study. Following her sister’s lead, Ms. Wyatt also plans to include a period of study abroad in New Zealand as part of her Trent experience.

“Trent felt like a place where I belonged,” she explains. “I enjoyed the general attitude here. It’s a very welcoming place. Trent is a perfect ﬁt for me.” A member of Trent’s English department, Professor Treadwell died suddenly in 1999, leaving behind a young family and a wide circle of grieving friends, family and colleagues. He had chaired the Department of English Literature at Trent for many years and was a demanding and rewarding teacher who had also established an international reputation as a bibliographer and scholar in the ﬁeld of the eighteenth-century British book trade. As a tribute to the memory of this valued friend, department members organized a major fund-raising campaign to create the Treadwell Scholarship Fund. The goal for the fund was

Ms. Wyatt, whose longer-term goals include becoming a high school English teacher, says the scholarship is going a long way to minimize the costs associated with her university experience.

“Trent felt like a place where I belonged,” she explains. “I enjoyed the general attitude here. It’s a very welcoming place. It’s small, but not too small. Trent is a perfect ﬁt for me.” Ms. Wyatt believes that for many Trent students, the availability of scholarships like the Treadwell Scholarship contributes to the University’s appeal, saying: “There are many scholarship award winners at Trent. This wide range of people with different skills gives Trent a unique feel. It’s what makes Trent special.” The Michael Treadwell Scholarship Fund welcomes additional donations. It is the goal of the English department to raise enough capital to be able to name a new Treadwell Scholar every year and maintain the ongoing Scholars at the full level. Donations can be made through the Advancement Ofﬁce at Trent University.

Phase I is critical for Athletics and Recreation. According to Mr. Byrick, “Trent students have provided enthusiastic leadership and ﬁnancial support to the redevelopment of our athletics facilities. Combined with local partnerships, we now have the opportunity to provide high-quality facilities, coaching expertise and athlete development to both Trent and the broader community.”

LEAVING A LEGACY: In Memory of Aidan Lumley

“I would like to support the swim team because they’ve been so supportive of Aidan,” says Elaine Lumley, Aidan’s mom. “It’s really through swimming that Aidan developed his self-conﬁdence as a young man. I want to help others realize that Trent is a good place to go. Trent’s swim team is small but mighty.”

Treadwell Scholarship Awarded to First Recipient A promising young woman named Leah Wyatt is the ﬁrst recipient of the Treadwell Scholarship – a $4,500 per year ﬁnancial support opportunity organized in memory of one of Trent University’s most beloved English professors.

part to lay the foundation for athletic excellence and balanced lifestyles,” adds Mr. Byrick.

Aidan Lumley

“I’m going to make a dent in this world, just give me a year.” These were the words spoken by Aidan Lumley, a third year Trent student, as he looked forward towards his graduation. In November 2005, Mr. Lumley and a group of friends went to downtown Montreal to celebrate a birthday. As he was walking to his car, he was shot in the back. Aidan Lumley was a third year Physics student and popular athlete at Trent University. As a member of the Trent Varsity swim team, he specialized in breast stroke competition and he was a two-time recipient of Trent’s Athlete of the Week award. He was a good student, popular on campus, and very involved in the Trent community. While Mr. Lumley did not live to see his personal legacy take root, his family has made sure that legacy will come to fruition by assisting other students in his name.

Mr. Lumley’s aunt and uncle, Ismail ’84 and Nadine ’84 Barmania (nee Lumley), agree wholeheartedly with the idea of establishing a Trent bursary in Aidan’s name: “We lost someone who worked hard academically and in his swimming. We will always remember him as a Trent student. What better way to remember him than to create a bursary that will help a Trent student who shares Aidan’s love of swimming,” says Mr. Barmania. As Trent alumni, both Mr. and Mrs. Barmania shared their Trent experience with Mr. Lumley, speaking very highly of the University. According to Elaine Lumley, her son’s ﬁrst impression of Trent occurred years ago at Mr. and Mrs. Barmania’s graduation when he was almost four years old. It was a happy day for the whole family. During his time at Trent, Aidan Lumley made a huge impression on those who knew him. Perhaps Allison Hayward described him best in a December 5, 2006 article published in Trent’s student newspaper, the Arthur. She

wrote: “As an active member of the swim team, a regular sight on campus and a frequent patron of Peterborough’s various pubs and clubs, few have been unfortunate enough to have never seen his mischievous grin. On the swim team, he was a strong competitor and a welcoming, encouraging presence to novice swimmers, easy to spot wearing his Speedo and leather jacket on the pool deck. Aidan had an incorrigible love of country music, demonstrated best through his uncanny renditions of various country divas’ hits.” His family says that it was the outpouring of support they received from the University community following Mr. Lumley’s death that really validated their belief that Trent was more than an institution, that it was a truly caring environment. “The support which we received from Trent was overwhelming. We felt that our loss was shared. Aidan was one of Trent’s own,” says Mrs. Lumley. Mr. Barmania agrees, saying: “It is easy to talk about “caring” and “community” when things are going well. When things did not go well, Aidan wasn’t just a number. Trent showed that it is more than an institution. It is a community made up of good, kind, caring people.“

“The support which we received from Trent was overwhelming. We felt that our loss was shared. Aidan was one of Trent’s own.”

Aidan Lumley would have turned 21 on January 6, 2006 and would have graduated in June 2006. To donate to the Aidan Lumley Memorial Fund, contact the Advancement Ofﬁce at Trent University.

A PERFECT MATCH:

PPFFA and Trent Welcome New Matching Donations Program

Trent University and the Peterborough Professional Fire Fighters Association (PPFFA) have welcomed the Ontario Trust for Student Support (OTSS) – a new program that matches dollarfor-dollar donations to Trent to build endowment funds in order to provide bursaries and awards for Ontario students who demonstrate financial need. The program is a perfect fit for the Peterborough Professional Fire Fighters Association who, for the past 25 years, has been supporting a bursary to be awarded annually to full-time Trent students who demonstrate academic achievement and financial need. Consideration of the award is given first to sons and daughters of full-time firefighters employed at the Peterborough Fire Department who meet bursary qualifications. This year, a pledge of $20,393 was made by the local firefighters to be added to the Peterborough Professional Firefighters Association (PPFFA) Bursary at Trent University. Their donation will be doubled by OTSS for a contribution of more than $40,000 to the endowment fund.

“PROUD AND FORTUNATE TO WORK HERE”: Faculty and Staff Lead by Example When it comes to giving, it is important that the people who are closest to the cause are just as involved and engaged as those outside it. This is a lesson that staff member Doug Brown and faculty member Professor Gordon Johnston have taken to heart as long-time donors to Trent University. In 2006, they stepped up their support for the University not only by contributing once again, but by also taking on a leadership role in encouraging fellow faculty and staff to include the Trent University Annual Fund on their “short list” of causes worthy of support.

makes it easy to give back to Trent. Both Professor Johnston and Mr. Brown take advantage of this payroll deduction program. For Mr. Brown, making regular gifts helps him manage his charitable giving efﬁciently and at the end of the year leads to a larger tax credit from charitable donations. Professor Johnston says, “The payroll deduction program is a sensible way of managing the charitable donations you’re going to make. It takes care of itself and ultimately, I probably give more than I would through other means of giving.”

In a personal appeal letter sent out to all faculty and staff, Mr. Brown and Professor Johnston noted that “As we help the university grow and develop, we come to realize we’re making a difference in the lives of our students, our community, and indeed our country and the world.” Their call to action made a difference as the University recorded a 30 per cent increase in the number of faculty and staff who supported the Annual Fund this year. The monies raised through the Fund will help address the greatest needs of students, including support services that go beyond the typical and traditional costs of education, by providing bursaries and scholarships, books and learning resources for the Bata Library, student work opportunities, and campus safety programs.

In addition to sharing a sense of responsibility to give back to the University that employs them, Mr. Brown and Professor Johnston share something else – the beneﬁt of being long-time members of the Trent community. Mr. Brown initially came to Trent University as a student afﬁliated with Champlain College in 1971, later becoming a Physical Resources staff member. Today, Mr. Brown is Pool Operator

and Maintenance Coordinator of the Athletics Complex. Mr. Brown, who has donated to the University consistently for the past 10 years, speaks with pride about his long-time employer and alma mater: “Being part of Trent broadens our horizons. Young people come from around the world to study here and our illustrious alumni bring honor back to the university.” For Professor Johnston, who joined the University in 1971 as a faculty member in the English department, Trent provides a unique sense of community that keeps people connected beyond their academic experience. “If you believe in this place and its values, then you are able to help out and do the things that need to be done. We believe in this place. We contribute as members of the Trent community, as employees of the University, and also to set an example for others,” he says. “I feel proud and fortunate to work here.” Other leadership roles assumed by Professor Johnston as a faculty member have included serving as the Head of Otonabee College, Acting Head of the English Department, and Senior Tutor, to name but a few. Overall, Professor Johnston and Mr. Brown both support Trent University because it is something they believe in. Along with all of the faculty and staff at Trent, they believe they can make a difference and ensure that Trent’s reputation as a leading-edge postsecondary institution continues well into the future.
