Q & A Session: English Language Centre

Our English Language Centre staff are offering online Q & A sessions on select Monday mornings from 10 to 11 a.m. Eastern Standard Time.

The professors showed me what it means to be passionate about a field of study and created a foundation for my learning, while allowing me to learn fundamental skills to prepare myself for the career of my choice. I am now preparing to complete my Bachelor of Education at Ontario Tech to teach youth who have been in conflict with the law. Caitlin Morgan Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Criminology and Justice Class of 2021

When I first started in the Commerce program here, I quickly fell in love with the people. The first day of Orientation, I met a group of incredible friends who are still by my side three years later. After attending a CPA Ontario Networking Session, I decided that the accounting path was perfect for me. The professors here want you to succeed, and will give you the connections you need to set yourself up for the career you want. Because of the opportunities given to me by the university, I have already received full-time job offers for when I graduate in 2022. Hannah Oegema Bachelor of Commerce (Honours) in Accounting, International Business minor Class of 2022

The professors I have in the Biological Science – Biomedical Science program are unparalleled. Professor Brar understands the minds of students and that physics can be intimidating to the novice learner. Professor Brar was engaging, supportive, caring and a friend to all; he completely changed my outlook on physics! Science courses are filled with instructors that genuinely care about you—that go above and beyond to help you succeed. Eric Doyle Bachelor of Science (Honours) in Biomedical Science Class of 2023

Born in rural Jamaica, Hall came to Canada at 16 escaping poverty and established himself as one of Canada’s most influential businesspeople and a leading anti-Black racism activist, committed to removing Anti-Black systemic barriers affecting millions of Black Canadians. As a member of Huron’s Board of Governors, he is looking to increase educational opportunities for Black youth.

“You can’t just look at corporate Canada to address our nation’s lack of inclusivity: our student population needs to mirror our country’s landscape equally as much,” he says. “The inclusion of underprivileged students and anti-racist education will not be a fringe part of our mission or curriculum.”

Hall’s anti-racism advocacy aligns with Huron’s vision of becoming a leader in diversity and authentic inclusion. He says he is looking forward to working with Huron to increase equitable access to education.

“When you look around the classroom and the boardroom, they both need to be diverse. Huron’s vision of inclusion is in line with everything I stand for,” he says. “I am excited about rolling up my sleeves to ensure people from all walks of life are part of this university’s prestigious ecosystem.”

As a proud Huron ‘93 alumna, Allen says she was both thrilled and honoured when asked to join the Board. “I love the Leadership with Heart campaign,” she shares. “I’m excited to be part of this and will work to help Huron differentiate itself and become a destination for a Liberal Arts education in Canada.”

Allen graduated from Huron with a degree in Psychology. After having worked in consulting, at the United Nations and now the reinsurance industry, she says her Liberal Arts education has helped her in achieving these positions and opening doors.

“A Liberal Arts background gives you a bit more latitude to explore your personality and interests, strengths and dislikes – there’s a lot of opportunity,” she says. “There’s more appetite to go in different directions.”

Having also volunteered her time with the London Goodenough Association of Canada, which fosters alumni development and community relations, Allen is enthusiastic for her work on the Board of Governors. Huron, she says, is the perfect university in which to produce future leaders and change makers.

“We need to develop future generations to be broad thinkers and open to inclusivity,” she says. “I met a lot of people here who are amazing and I’ve kept those bonds and ties even when we’re in different countries.

“It’s unusual to have those relationships, a sense of community and belonging, but Huron fosters these with ease.”

“Not only does it prepare you to be very successful within your profession, but this type of well-rounded programming forms you as a person,” she says. “People have lost this communal sense of what the Liberal Arts can offer, and I am going to support a change in that narrative in any way I can.”

Outside of law, Ventresca is committed to improving her community whether through volunteer work with community organizations or promoting the advancement of women in the legal profession. As a member of Huron’s Board of Governors, she says she is excited for the role she can personally play in shifting systemic inequalities and preparing students to positively influence others through empathetic and inclusive decision making.

“A Leader with Heart has an academic inclination, but they are also highly emotionally intelligent and compassionate towards people who differ from them,” she says. “As a lawyer, I see the importance of this type of leader every single day. I have a real desire to encourage people to recognize the value of that flexibility in thought and critical capacity that allows my colleagues to really engage with people from all walks of life.”

In her work, Jones Keenan is known for fostering positive company cultures and productivity. She credits transferrable skills for her ability to move into roles she may not have otherwise considered. With the ever-evolving demands of the modern economy, ensuring young people can similarly adapt within new industries is one of the reasons Jones Keenan joined Huron’s Board of Governors.

“It might be presumptuous to say that a university has a social and moral prerogative to develop well-rounded, well-intentioned people,” Jones Keenan states. “But, at Huron you don’t have to suggest it – the university’s sense of obligation to form people who will benefit humanity is built into everything Leadership does.”

Jones Keenan has kept leadership development at the forefront of her career. When talking about the immediate need for an education that develops people skills and leadership potential, she emphasizes how Huron’s unique model of teaching can transform our future economy.

“So much of what I do focuses on coaching people who are already well-established in their careers yet still need that encouragement to be compassionate and empathetic in the office,” Jones Keenan shares. “To be able to start that learning in post-secondary school will not only be such a benefit to our students, but to the business world more broadly.”

Rajan’s passion and professional raison d’être is supporting and shaping imaginative organizations and businesses as exemplars of outstanding value creation, responsible governance and equitable, inclusive net-zero sustainable development (“NZSD”). Over a decade at McKinsey & Co, Rajan advised public, private and family-owned businesses in retail, telecoms, energy, mining, banking, finance on value creation. She was a founding member of McKinsey’s Climate Change Special Initiative, today its Sustainability Practice. Rajan started her career as a macroeconomist in Africa and Asia, negotiating financing for structural adjustment and sustainable development projects and laying the foundations for NZSD as a non-negotiable.

Rajan is also Founder of the Karta Initiative, a global social mobility movement, building technology, finance, and networks to bridge the divide between ‘base of pyramid’ youth and world leading universities and employers in Canada, India and the UK.

Rajan’s passion for inclusive prosperity comes from a childhood spent in rural, remote Liberia where she witnessed how accident of birth is a key driver of life outcomes. Here, she saw firsthand how the basic necessities, such as running water and electricity, are markers of privilege for many people. At the same time, Rajan says “even a tiny drop of opportunity and access to education or training” can make a tremendous difference to nurture potential and improve equality of outcomes.

“In the early days of Karta, we reached out to Canadian universities to explore their interest in international inclusion, and I was introduced to Barry. It did not take long to realize we were totally, utterly mission aligned,” she says. “What we wanted – and are both still working hard to achieve – is the removal of barriers to opportunity so a more representative group of young people can excel and thrive in world class environments.”

As a member of Huron’s Board, Rajan is excited to support Huron as a world class university, globally celebrated for its world class education and advancement of inclusive prosperity, social mobility, and equitable NZSD.

Medline is a Huron Class of ’84 Alumnus. In 2021, Medline returned to Huron as a member of the Board of Governors in order to “contribute to a school and part of his life that means so much to him.” A passionate advocate for the Liberal Arts, Medline is focused on supporting Huron to “take the Liberal Arts experience to another level.”

As the CEO of one of Canada’s largest and longest-running food retailers, Medline understands what it takes to attain success by combining profitability and a values-based approach to business. He attributes a part of his career success to Huron, saying Liberal Arts can “springboard” students to pursue their passions across countless fields.

“I strongly believe in the value of the Liberal Arts. What you learn is how to communicate, ingest and synthesize a large amount of information,” he says. “The ability to think critically and innovatively have been integral to my business career and our students will benefit immensely from learning to adapt, embrace change and follow their passions.”

As part of Huron’s Board of Governors, Medline hopes to build on the university’s vision to develop students through a strong educational foundation, a belief in the common good and a commitment to civic engagement.

“When I went there, I absolutely loved everything about Huron,” he says. “The institution is definitely getting better every single year. It’s an amazing place to get an education.”

Beyond his business accomplishments, Medline is active in the community. He serves as a member of the Board of the SickKids Foundation and is currently Chair of the Grocery Foundation. He holds an MBA from Raymond A. Mason School of Business, William & Mary; an LL.B. from the University of Toronto, and, of course, a BA from Huron University College at Western University. Medline also proudly received an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from Huron College in 2020.

“Our public education systems have recently been more focused on STEM subjects (science, technology, engineering, and math), which are extremely important,” says the Huron ’85 alumni. “However, we cannot lose the significant value of the humanities – the subjects that truly help educate us to communicate, better understand each other, and be caring and decent human beings.”

Farrow has been a committed clinician and educator throughout her career, with expertise in mental health and psychotherapy. High on her list of priorities as a member of the Board of Governors will be to ensure there is a real focus on the student experience, and their wellbeing, particularly with respect to mental health.

Saying she was “honoured” to be asked to join the Board, Farrow notes she was already avidly watching Huron’s commitment to creating Leaders with Heart. “This focus on developing and giving back to our communities is essential for us to make both the local and global changes that are so necessary to our world today,” she says.

Farrow remembers her Huron experience as “an amazing learning environment” and hopes to give back to Huron to express her gratitude for the incredibly positive impact Huron has had on her life.

Born in Toronto, ON, Holmes says he was exposed to many different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds as a child. As a result, he says he developed a determination to leverage the capacity he built through U.S. Global Investors to invest in charities that give underserved kids a leg up.

“My goals have always been to create economic growth and a better well-being for the communities I work within,” he says. “I have always believed in giving back and, as you become more readily able to do so, you should recognize your obligation to invest in the people and spaces around you.

“That giving mentality has to go hand-in-hand with prosperity.”

In recent years, Holmes has reconnected with Huron, intrigued both by the school’s academic offerings and its commitment to civic engagement. His forward-looking vision aligns well with the university’s commitment to innovating and strengthening itself as an international leader with the same growth mindset it will foster within its students.

“Good leaders have a growth mindset,” he says. “They are not forced into learning, but instead are naturally curious and excited about taking the initiative to challenge their own preconceived notions. Huron is nurturing a new generation of students who are inspired to be transparent and accountable. Not only do they have drive, but their high achievement is underlined by a willingness to disrupt the status quo and give back.

“Who wouldn’t get excited about that?”

Hayhoe prioritizes character above all else when looking at who and what to invest in. “I have hired hundreds of people, and what I always look for is how people do things,” Hayhoe says. “As the world becomes increasingly globalized, businesses have access to countless intelligent, qualified people. However, cultural capital is what really counts: you need to be willing to learn, work well with people from diverse backgrounds and accept ideas that starkly differ from your own.”

Hayhoe, who currently lives in London, UK, remains an avid believer in the value of a Liberal Arts education. As a member of Huron’s Board of Governors, he hopes to reaffirm and support the responsibility of educational institutions to develop graduates who have integrity and who recognize the importance of balancing financial success with social responsibility.

He looks forward to working with Huron’s Board of Governors to create a legacy at Huron that stands for the core fundamental values of treating people with dignity and respect and acting in the best interests of society.

“I am excited about the opportunity to help my alma mater become an even more representative and dynamic school that emphasizes integrity, celebrates uniqueness and never loses that sense of home it had when I attended,” he says.

A Huron Class of ’71 alumnus, Meighen also holds an honorary Doctor of Divinity from Huron, conferred to her on the 156th Founder’s Day. She is putting strategic planning and governance skills to work as part of Huron’s Board of Governors to help amplify the school’s as an elite Liberal Arts institution with an inclusive environment designed to welcome people from all backgrounds.

“Huron’s advantages have always been obvious to the people who appreciate that kind of an environment,” she says. “My hope is that our Board can help broadly share the vision of the school as I cannot imagine how it would not resonate with a very broad and enthusiastic audience.”

Meighen says Huron’s emphasis on personalized support, equitable opportunity and community integration has never been so important.

“Now, we just need to ensure our message reaches everyone who recognizes the mutual benefit of intellectual pursuit and personal development,” she says. “Huron’s intention to deliver an education that prioritizes the student as an individual while fostering their role within society will no doubt benefit both learners and their communities alike.”

The Huron Experience is truly one-of-a-kind.  While most universities take in thousands of students every year, Huron selectively limits our annual incoming cohort to around 500 students each year. Even though we keep our community strategically small, we ensure they are truly representative of our global community, and we welcome exceptional young leaders from dozens of countries all over the world to our campus each year. This means, the average number of students in your classes will be 33 rather than 300, 500 or 800 like most other undergraduate programs. Plus, our student to faculty ratio is only 11:1. For us, the quality of your experience will always be more important than merely increasingly the quantity of our students.

Most undergraduate learning environments in Canada involve sitting in a lecture hall with hundreds of students, watching slideshows and memorizing textbooks. Huron classes are different. Here, professors will mentor you, not lecture you. You will engage with the course materials through interaction and debate with your peers and learn in the real-world through capstone projects, high-level research unique on the undergraduate level, as well as through real-life learning experiences throughout Canada and around the world.

Why do we do this? Because it’s all about you . At Huron, you can expect a premium undergraduate experience. Our staff and faculty will know your name, not just your student number. We will know your story and are personally invested in making sure you achieve your goals and maximize your potential.

Huron’s alumni network includes world-renowned leaders, in every industry, who you can learn from, network with and emulate. Huron alumni live in 59 countries worldwide and Lead with Heart in business, government, technology, law, international affairs and more.

With a graduating class of 400 students rather than 4,000, it’s possible to connect each and every student with an alumni mentor who will be personally invested in your success and can directly connect you to career opportunities where they work. This can make the difference between starting out in an entry level position and attaining a distinguished career.

Plus, you’ll never have to search for mentorship or a job alone. You will have one-on-one guidance from your Career Development Team who works hard solely to provide our talented students with alumni mentors working in the field or organization of your dreams.

How do Huron’s distinct advantages develop exceptional alumni? Our campus, which has the resources to nurture individual gifts, creates an environment where you’re strongly encouraged to show up and speak out. Within our interactive classrooms, there’s no sitting back and passively taking in information. Instead, you learn presentation, debate and the kind of human and leadership skills that will be most in demand in a world of ever-increasing automation and artificial intelligence.

Huron – Harvard Collaboration

Our university promises to deliver on an education that is as prestigious as it is principled, and part of that commitment involves our collaboration with the world’s highest calibre of institutions. When you choose Huron, you gain access to partnership opportunities at the world-renowned Harvard University.

Huron is the only Ontario university to supplement the development of your head and heart with a Harvard certificate

Harvard Business School Online (Harvard) provides students, in any Huron program, with a chance to gain the fundamentals of business thinking. The online Credential of Readiness (CORe) program will enable Huron students to contribute to business discussions and decision-making, whether you’re looking to advance your career, considering graduate school, or narrowing down the career path best suited to your potential.

This Ivy League badge of honour is the perfect supplement to a well-rounded Liberal Arts degree and will ensure future employers recognize your dedication to business best practices, as well as accountable leadership.

Huron – Ivey Dual Degree Programs

The Ivey Business School is Canada’s first and most prestigious business school. Complete your first two years at Huron and apply to Ivey’s Honours Business Administration (HBA) program. Students can also apply for Advanced Entry Opportunity (AEO) conditional, pre-admission status to the HBA program from secondary school

Because of our small classes, one-on-one faculty mentorship and opportunities to build leadership skills through internships, volunteering, community-based learning and travel study, Huron students can keep their grades high and build impressive extracurricular portfolios — all of which are vital to acceptance at

Paid Internships: At Huron, every single student is guaranteed a paid internship, so you will get to connect your learning with workplace experience and earn while you learn.

Entry-level work positions no longer require entry-level experience. To secure a job right after graduation, you need to show employers you’re capable of contributing significant value to your workplace.

At Huron’s Career Development Centre, you will work one-on-one with your advisor to find the right fit for your paid internship. Your personal Career Development team member will help connect you with a position that sparks your curiosity and nurtures your interests, while providing you with experiences to add to your resume. Huron has an extensive group of esteemed alumni who are leading industries, around the world, and are eager to give back by providing our students with internship and career opportunities. This, along with our strategically selective campus, means you’re not competing with hundreds of students for internship positions, so Huron students always have a better chance to secure a meaningful experience.

Our Leaders with Heart learn better and do more because we ensure our resources are never spread thin across our student body. Our strategically sized university means not only will you establish meaningful relationships with your professors, but our administration and staff are also readily available to enrich your time here. We never overcrowd our programs because we believe in providing a transformative education, not churning out degrees.

From the moment you begin your application and throughout all four years, we will work with you to ensure you’re thriving. At Huron we don’t have long lines and wait times, individualized one-on-one support from our staff and advisors is available on-demand. With one professor per 11 students and the same number of wellness, professional development and international support staff members as many large universities, you can feel confident you will always have people, who genuinely care about you, in your corner.

Who are some of the people who contribute to Huron’s Culture of Care?

Our Admissions team, who will work side-by-side with you and your family as you begin to apply, to provide personalized program recommendations and assistance with every step of the application & scholarship process

Our President who gives out his personal cell phone number, is consistently a presence at student events and responds to your emails within 48 hours, 7 days a week.

World-renowned faculty who are celebrated academics, researchers and educators and are always available to meet with you individually outside of class time

Student Advisors who will always be available 1-on-1 to help you with any of your academic, wellness and professional development needs

At Huron you will never have to go through any red tape. You will always have direct access to the support you need – unlike at large institutions where you may need to wait weeks to address your needs.

The Ultimate Student Guide to Virtual University Tours in Ontario

University tours in Ontario are getting cancelled due to COVID-19. Many are now turning to virtual tours to help students choose a school for next year. (This is part of our series on virtual university tours across Canada. You can click to view the articles for Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba & Saskatchewan, Québec, or Atlantic Canada.) […]

University tours in Ontario are getting cancelled due to COVID-19. Many are now turning to virtual tours to help students choose a school for next year.

(This is part of our series on virtual university tours across Canada. You can click to view the articles for Alberta , British Columbia , Manitoba & Saskatchewan ,  Québec , or Atlantic Canada .)

SUNY Chancellor John King returns to Alfred University as part of 64-campus tour

State University of New York Chancellor John B. King Jr. returned to Alfred University on Friday afternoon, April 12, during his tour of the SUNY system. King also spent time in Alfred last spring as part of his visits to SUNY’s 64 institutions.

King met with Alfred University administrators, including Mark Zupan, president, Beth Ann Dobie, provost and chief operating officer, Gabrielle Gaustad ’04, dean of the Inamori School of Engineering and vice president of Statutory Affairs, Lauren Lake, dean of the School of Art and Design and Performing Arts Division, and Brian Sullivan, dean of Libraries. He toured facilities in the School of Art and Design and Performing Arts Division, the School of Engineering, and Scholes Library, which are part of the New York State College of Ceramics.

Gaustad talked about a joint project between Alfred University and the U.S. Army Research Lab to research forming and characterization of ultra-high temperature ceramic (UHTC) materials. The project is supported by $13.5 million in federal funding and focuses on conducting high temperature characterization of UHTC materials used in defense systems to improve performance. Scott Misture ’90, Ph.D. ‘95, Inamori Professor, materials science and engineering, serves as principal investigator for the research, much of which will be conducted in the Center for High Temperature Characterization (CHTC) at Alfred University.

Gaustad also discussed funding from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) to support research into glass recycling initiatives. Among the projects included in that grant program are research into developing concrete strengthened with waste glass—which would significantly decrease the carbon footprint of concrete—and creating new ways to wash wine bottles to make them suitable for reuse, which would dramatically decrease the amount of glass waste going into landfills.

King heard about the National Casting Center foundry which will be located in the University’s former heating plant. The facility, funded with a combination of philanthropy—a $6 million gift from University Trustee Michele Cohen and her husband, Martin—$8.3 million in support from the SUNY Construction Fund. Once completed, the foundry will facilitate a number of art/engineering academic and co-curricular intersections, including programs focused on metallurgy and refractories and a number of student clubs (blacksmithing, forging, and bladesmithing among them).

Following the opening discussion, Gaustad and Lake led King on tours of the Inamori School of Engineering and School of Art and Design and Performing Arts Division, where King met with faculty and students. Sullivan led King’s visit to Scholes Library, where the chancellor met several members of the library staff and spoke with students in the library’s Special Collections. Throughout his visit, King engaged with students, discussing how they came to Alfred University, their academic pursuits, and their long-term plans.

The tour of the School of Engineering included a stop at the Ceramic Research, Education and Technology Enterprise (CREATE) Center, located on the first floor of the McMahon Engineering Building. The CREATE Center, supported by $7.75 million grant from the State University of New York, administered by the SUNY Construction Fund, houses a research facility focusing on the development of novel materials and scalable processes in the areas of additive manufacturing/3-D printing, high-temperature processing, and ceramic machining/finishing.

During his tour of the CREATE Center, King saw a demonstration of 3-D printing equipment, used by students in both the art and engineering schools. The chancellor heard from junior ceramic engineering major Jane Heffernan and senior art student Ben Deutsch about how additive manufacturing is utilized in their research and creative endeavors. King also met Erin Berry, a Master of Fine Arts student; Chao Liu, who is pursuing a doctoral degree in materials science and engineering; and Erin Taylor, digital design and fabrication technician.

King toured the X-Ray Refraction (XRD) Labs in McMahon, where Misture discussed the ARL-funded high temperature ceramic project and research into battery development. Among the students King spoke with was Olivia Gilbert, a senior materials science and engineering major and one of the University’s two 2024 SUNY Chancellors Award for Student Excellence recipients.

He also met Cooper Howard, PhD student in materials science and engineering; Molly Shibitov, a junior ceramic engineering major who is a full-time employee of Corning Incorporated; Yuxuan Sun, a ceramic engineering PhD candidate; Iva Milisavljevic, a post-doctoral researcher; and Allyson Campbell, a junior materials science and engineering major. Campbell, an Alfred native, transferred to Alfred from Rutgers University, where she was studying chemical engineering.

King spent time in Scholes Library’s Special Collections room, where he talked with student workers from a variety of academic backgrounds, including Zulaika Yusuff, a theater and global studies major; Jordan Annlee, a glass engineering science major, and Victoria Vice, an art major, both of whom are Herrick Library Public Services student worker; and Gio Kane, an art student who works in the Scholes Library archives.

The chancellor wrapped up his visit in Harder Hall, where he met Chelsea McMaster and discussed her upcoming MFA exhibition, “The Unbound Archives.” He also talked with senior Emilia Donenberg Smith, a physics and art double-major, who was preparing her senior BFA thesis exhibition. Smith is Alfred University’s other 2024 SUNY Chancellors Award for Student Excellence honoree and is a 2024 Marlin Miller Outstanding Senior Award winner.

RFK Jr. tour bus appears on Binghamton University campus

Campaign members said they are looking to gain support from young voters.

VESTAL (WBNG) -- The tour bus for Independent Presidential Candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. appeared on the Binghamton University campus on Thursday.

Kennedy’s campaign is seeking 45,000 votes in 45 days for him to appear on the Presidential ballot in New York State in November

Members of the campaign team said this kicks off a weekend-long campaign to gain support from college students and young voters from around the Southern Tier.

“I think that a lot of younger voters are sort of disenchanted with our choices,” said Team Kennedy State Director for North Carolina Seara Foley.”We want to reach out to them and let them know that we’re doing something radically different here by getting an independent candidate on the ballot.”

The bus is set to appear at SUNY Broome on Friday and in Kirkwood on Saturday. The bus will be present from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
