Luce-Kapler to grow community as new dean

Wednesday August 5, 2015

By Mike Young, Communications Intern

Dr. Luce-Kapler looks forward with great excitement to the future of the Faculty of Education at a time of change and renewal.

Rebecca Luce-Kapler was at home and about to leave for a vacation when she received an e-mail from Provost Alan Harrison asking her to call him at her earliest convenience. She called him immediately and was offered the position of dean of Education at Queen’s.

Accepting his offer, she hung up the phone and then ran around the house, looking for her husband.

She remembers yelling one thing: “I GOT THE JOB!”

“I didn’t realize just how much I wanted the job until I got closer to finding out. I’ll never forget how good that felt,” says Dr. Luce-Kapler, who stepped into her new role on July 1.

Dr. Luce-Kapler, who lives on a cliff overlooking a lake and who confesses a great love for Kingston, first came to Queen’s with similar feelings of excitement in 1997 to work on language and literacy research and programming within the Faculty of Education.

A B.Ed graduate who pursued her graduate work at the University of Alberta, Dr. Luce-Kapler set out to complete a master’s degree with the intention of returning to teach in the classroom.

During that process, however, she came to realize that she wanted to make a deeper impact on education beyond the traditional school-teacher setting. She ended up staying to complete a PhD in language and literacy education, fostering a love for research and higher education at the same time.

Arriving at Queen’s, she was surprised to find that transitioning between provinces was more difficult than expected.

“When I came to Queen’s, I thought, it’s not going to be that big a transition because it’s still Canada… well it turns out that Alberta and Ontario are kind of different,” she laughs.

Due to the immediate bonds and sense of community that she experienced within her new faculty, however, Dr. Luce-Kapler grew to love her city and her Queen’s community. “I thought I’d stay for a few years and then go back to the prairies, and I never did,” she admits.

She cites the collaborative environment and special relationships she has developed as the primary reason that she never left.

“There’s an intermingling between disciplines and levels here that I found very synergistic,” she says. “I ended up doing research that I never imagined I’d have the chance to do… and I really, really like our students.”

Now at the helm of this community, Dr. Luce-Kapler feels excitement about the myriad of opportunities that lie ahead. Recognizing things will get even more hectic when September rolls around, she has not wasted any time in getting to work.

One such opportunity is the introduction of a new Bachelor of Education program, whose first cohort started at the faculty in May. The provincially mandated changes for B.Ed programs in Ontario have led to the complete restructuring of the faculty’s education program. The Queen’s program now takes 16 months to complete and sees students starting in the spring, rather than in September.

She describes the feedback from students she’s spoken with so far as being positive, and says she is excited to help shape teacher education at Queen’s within a new provincial framework.

“The opportunity to see this program and its students grow, and to continue to grow our community as a whole on a number of different levels – it’s all very exciting,” she says.

When speaking about growth, Dr. Luce-Kapler routinely focuses on the people involved in the process, and the importance of forming meaningful relationships within the faculty.

She speaks, particularly, of her close relationship with former dean Stephen Elliott, who she met soon after arriving to Queen’s. He became one of her first friends and has continued to be a wonderful support system.

The connections she made with her colleagues were fostered in unique ways. When Dr. Luce-Kapler first arrived, she, Dr. Elliott and Dr. Peter Chin (who now serves as Associate Dean, Undergraduate Studies), formed a hermeneutic reading group, reading texts from that philosophical perspective.

“I was lonely when I first came – I knew no one here and my entire family was in Alberta. Back in Alberta, I was part of a reading group and I really missed that, so I asked Peter [Chin] who I knew was from the west as well if he wanted to join a hermeneutic reading group, and he said yes. Stephen [Elliott] was walking by, asked us ‘what’s hermeneutics?’, and we said that he’d had to join to find out. So for a year, the three of us had a hermeneutic reading group.”

She explains how when the three of them went on to become the administration team years later, they laughed when thinking back to their earlier experiences together.

A lover of gardening, cooking, and poetry, regularly drafting biographical poetry about women’s experiences in her spare time, Dr. Luce-Kapler is a people-oriented leader who greatly cherishes opportunities to bring individuals together and share experiences. Perhaps most telling is how she describes her colleagues as friends and her faculty at large as a family.

“The Faculty of Education at Queen’s is non-departmentalized, and so it really feels like you’re working in a community together,” she says.

When it comes to her new role, Dr. Luce-Kapler feels like everything has fallen into place in the right way at the right time.

“Things have flowed in a lovely way since I arrived here. I couldn’t be happier to be where I am, and I cannot wait to see where this faculty goes from here.”

Law grad Ghana’s first female electoral commissioner

Tuesday August 4, 2015

By Communications Staff

Graduates of Queen’s Law are renowned for taking on interesting challenges around the globe. This summer in Ghana, a Master’s graduate from Queen’s is blazing new trails in government and doing her part to change the face of democracy in the nation.

Charlotte Osei (LLM’95), was sworn in as the head of the Electoral Commission of Ghana on June 30, by Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama in a ceremony held in the capital city of Accra.

The scope of her duties as chairperson includes supervising every public election and referenda, demarcating electoral boundaries and declaring the winner of presidential elections. As the first female Electoral Commissioner, Ms. Osei has been lauded for her abilities and dedication to the public service.

Prior to her appointment, Ms. Osei was the chairperson of the National Commission for Civic Education. Before taking a position in the civil service, she was the founder and lead counsel of Prime Attorneys, a leading law firm in Accra. She was also a senior legal officer for the GCB and company secretary/legal adviser for Unibank Ghana Limited. As a lawyer she has worked in the areas of public service management, institutional reform, corporate law, banking, insurance, project financing and public-private partnerships and employment.

While at Queen’s Law, Osei was supervised by Professor Rosemary King – also from Ghana – and wrote her thesis entitled: “Reclaiming Ourselves”: Re-examining the status of Ghanaian Women Under Customary Law.

Ms. Osei’s other degrees are a Master’s in Business Leadership from the University of South Africa, Pretoria and an LLB (Hons) from the University of Ghana in 1992. She was called to the bar in 1994.

Sharing the beauty of math

Tuesday August 4, 2015

By Sharday Mosurinjohn

Although her domain of number theory is among the more abstract reaches of maths, Kevser Aktas, a post-doctoral fellow at Queen’s University, has innovated ways of reaching out to show people “the beauty of mathematics” at the same time as mobilizing the problem-solving skills at the heart of that beauty for an astonishing variety of aims.

Dr. Aktas’ belief is that mathematical methods, games and applications can be used to develop creativity and artistic skills, as well as promote an active lifestyle of outdoor activity and sport. In March 2014 she set out to realize this ideal by working with the EU initiative Erasmus+ to host the first offering of “Mathematics for All!!!” This weeklong program in her native Turkey united people between the ages of 18 and 25 from Italy, Hungary, Latvia, Netherlands, Spain and UK.

It was a natural step for Dr. Aktas to work with the Erasmus+ Programme, which aims to boost skills and employability for EU youth, as well as modernising education, training, and youth work. During her master’s studies at Turkey’s Selcuk University, she worked as a mathematics teacher in an elementary school. In her PhD at Gazi University in the Turkish capital Ankara, her teaching expanded to undergraduate courses and she also began volunteering with a program for teachers in training who were blind or had visual impairment.

Dr. Aktas’ internationalizing ambitions brought her next to Queen’s University to work with the world-renowned number theorist Ram Murty. Since there’s no learning quite like teaching – in a second language, no less – Dr. Aktas quickly became the first post-doctoral researcher to present at the 3MT competition in March of this year. Her talk, entitled “The Impact of Powerful Numbers,” was also the first number theoretical research subject to be presented at a 3MT event. The branch of number theory is sometimes called “The Queen of Mathematics” because of its foundational place in the discipline.

“An integer is called a powerful number if a prime number divides it, and then the square of that prime number also divides it,” explains Dr. Aktas. She and Dr. Murty actually made the discovery that pairs of consecutive powerful numbers were predicted by a kind of equation they dubbed the Brahmagupta-Pell Equation. “It is not easy to find all consecutive powerful number pairs, which makes them very special.”

Nor is it known whether there are an infinite or finite number of pairs. But it is worth searching for the answer because of their relationship with prime numbers, which are key to encryption, she says. “The prime factorization of very large integers is used in cryptography,” a practice only becoming more important as digital tech becomes ubiquitous.

“The idea of presenting at 3MT was attractive for me because sometimes when you go deep into your research, it is not easy to see the big picture,” says Dr. Aktas. “3MT gave me the opportunity to look at my research from that perspective.”

On the heels of 3MT, Dr. Aktas traveled to present her research at the Canadian Mathematical Society’s Summer Meeting at the University of Prince Edward Island, where she also showed the video of her 3MT presentation.

“Because most of the conference-goers were also coming from universities in Canada they were a little familiar with the competition, but none had participated,” she says. “They liked the concept so much. I believe that these activities are motivating for people who work on pure mathematics.”

Dr. Aktas has also taken advantage of other training activities arranged by School of Graduate Studies and the Office of Postdoctoral Training to improve her professional skills.

“I attended Career Week just three weeks after I arrived to Queen’s,” she recalls, “and I still use the tips from that training, including effective writing for CVs, resumes, and cover letters.”

She also enrolled in SGS 901: Teaching and Learning in Higher Education through the Centre for Teaching and Learning.

These activities have been opportunities for building a social community in Kingston, too.

“Kingston is a very nice place to live, with its history and natural beauty,” Dr. Aktas says. “I will never forget these experiences I’ve had here because of Queen’s.”

Employee assistance program always ready to help

Friday July 31, 2015

By Andrew Carroll, Gazette Editor

In its ongoing effort to ensure the health and wellness of staff and faculty, Queen’s University provides access to the Employee and Family Assistance Program (EFAP).

[EFAP Poster] And while employees are made aware of this valuable resource, many perhaps don’t know the range of services available to them and their families.

Since 2014, Homewood Health, with more than 35 years of experience in the field, has been the provider of the EFAP – a confidential, professional counselling and wellness service that provides support when needed, including counselling, a range of lifestyle and specialty services, plus a variety of online services.

In her role as manager of Return to Work Services at Queen’s, Sydney Downey also oversees the management of the sick leave benefit and says that currently, the majority of workplace absences are related to mental health. With mental health being a key focus for the university, the resources offered by the EFAP, Ms. Downey points out, are valuable tools that not only can help during a time of difficulty but are meant to be used preventively by providing the needed support before the employee is faced with a medical leave.

Of course, to better utilize the EFAP, members need to have a better understanding of the resources available. And that’s something the EFAP committee at Queen’s is working towards right now.

“I definitely think there is a large misconception about what the EFAP is for and I believe that the majority of our EFAP committee would agree that we see people accessing these services maybe when it’s too late, if at all,”Ms. Downey says. “It’s not something that needs to only be used for major life challenges; it can be used for day-to-day challenges as well. That’s, in fact, what it is designed for. We would rather people be accessing their EFAP really early on to access some of the help and support structures that they may require to better prepare them if the challenges get larger and hopefully effectively preventing challenges from being unmanageable.”

Counselling – whether in-person with a professional or through a phone-based or online service – is the most commonly used service as members deal with the effects of grief, stress and anxiety. But the EFAP offers much more when it comes to counselling, Ms. Downey explains, including for family support, addiction, major life transitioning, childcare and parenting, as well as elder and family care.

And while counselling is a particular strength of the EFAP and Homewood, there also are many other services related to lifestyle and wellness.

“We also have nutritional support services, physical activity coaching services, career development services, financial management as well as legal services,” Ms Downey says. “So there exists a wide variety. There exists an abundance of online learning courses people can take as well as exciting programming such as 12 Weeks to Wellness.”

In the 12 Weeks to Wellness program, members are assisted in setting personal goals for improving their overall health and are provided support to assist in goal attainment. Goals could range from smoking cessation, to weight loss, to running a marathon.

Another key misconception among members, Ms. Downey says, is that the services offered through the EFAP cost extra. That’s not the case – it’s all free, including for family, and covered through the employees’ benefits package.

It’s also important for members to understand that the services are also confidential, says Coleen McLachlan, senior account executive at Homewood.

“The number one question that people can have about an EFAP is whether it is truly confidential — and it is,” she says. “The program is confidential, within the limits of the law, plus it’s voluntary, so members call us directly and no one at Queen’s will know that you used the service.”

One of the programs that Ms. Downey would like to see get a bit more attention is the key-person support line for managers at Queen’s.

“Through the program, if a manager would like support in working through an emotional situation in the workplace, this is a confidential advice line they can access, and, in many cases, they will speak with a clinical manager directly,” she says. “So there’s also real value, not just as a supportive tool they can recommend to their staff, but also for them to help them go into a difficult meeting.”

Still, as in any workplace, counselling services will always be a needed resource and both Ms. Downey and Ms. McLachlan point out that counsellors are made available right here in Kingston and the surrounding area for members’ convenience.

'A person of immense energy'

Thursday July 30, 2015

By Andrew Carroll, Gazette Editor

Few people knew Flora MacDonald as well as Professor Emeritus John Meisel did. After all, he’s the person responsible for bringing her to Queen’s University and Kingston, where she would eventually embark upon her trailblazing political career.

Ms. MacDonald, the Member of Parliament for the riding of Kingston and the Islands from 1972 to 1988 and appointed Canada’s first Secretary of State for External Affairs in 1979, died Sunday in Ottawa at the age of 89.

A close friend, Dr. Meisel says that Ms. MacDonald was a remarkable person and a standout politician.

“She was a person of immense energy. She was just indefatigable,” he says. “She was a very public-spirited person. When she saw something in the public domain that needed to be done she went around and started doing it.”

Dr. Meisel first got to know Ms. MacDonald as he researched the 1957 general election for a book. Ms. MacDonald worked as a secretary within the Progressive Conservative party and helped provide the information he requested for various research projects in following years. She was incredibly efficient and impressed him greatly, he says. He told her that if she ever needed a job he would find her a place at the university.

Several years later and Ms. MacDonald took him up on his offer and Dr. Meisel, now the head of the Department of Political Studies, went to Principal James Alexander Corry and requested that an administrative position be created to allow him to focus more on academic work.

Principal Corry agreed. It was a decision that would have a lasting impact on the Kingston community as well as Canadian politics.

During her time at Queen’s, Ms. MacDonald proved popular and was a pillar of strength for the department.

“She was marvelous. At that time we were having a lot of people arrive, graduate students, and they had to be found accommodation and she did all that,” Dr. Meisel says. “She wasn’t just a secretary. She was really kind of a departmental mother.”

While she would remain a friend of Queen’s, Ms. MacDonald was destined for a grander stage and after being invited to take a year-long course at the National Defence College in Kingston, she returned to politics, claiming the Progressive Conservative banner for the riding and winning the 1972 election.

She would then unsuccessfully contend for the party leadership in 1976 and when the party came to power under eventual winner Joe Clark in 1979, Ms. MacDonald would become the Canada’s first female Secretary of State for External Affairs. When the PCs returned to power in 1984 under Brian Mulroney, Ms. MacDonald was named Minister of Employment and Immigration and then Minister of Communications in 1986.

Dr. Meisel says that one of Ms. MacDonald’s strengths was that she was always so well informed. The reason for that was a skill she learned during her secretary days.

“She had a wonderful advantage – she knew how to take shorthand,” Dr. Meisel says. “So she always took notes wherever she went. She never missed or forgot anything because she kept notes. She told me that when she was a Cabinet minister she used to take shorthand notes during the Cabinet meetings for herself. So she was always much better informed than other people because she had all these records.”

Flora McDonald’s funeral will be held this Sunday at 2 pm in Ottawa.

High praise for admin system project

Wednesday July 29, 2015

By Mark Kerr, Senior Communications Officer

A Queen’s Project Portfolio Office-led partnership aimed at increasing collaboration between institutions that use the PeopleSoft administration systems recently earned recognition from chief information officers across Canadian universities.

[PIF team] — Estee Joe Matthew, Nick Graham and Anna Geladi from the Project Portfolio Office are developing the Knowledge Content Centre, which will launch this fall. The project is part of the Ontario PeopleSoft Shared Responsibility Initiative, which received support from the Government of Ontario's Productivity and Innovation Fund in late 2013.

The Ontario PeopleSoft Shared Responsibility Initiative (OPSRI) was a finalist for a new award launched this year by the Canadian University Council of Chief Information Officers (CUCCIO). The award recognizes initiatives that promote collaboration within the higher education information technology sector.

OPSRI was developed with support from the Government of Ontario’s Productivity and Innovation Fund in late 2013. The partner institutions have studied ways they could work together to improve the operation of the finance, human resources and student administration systems.

“Being selected as a finalist will help significantly increase the visibility and awareness of the collaborative project and hopefully lead to more institutions participating,” says Bo Wandschneider, Queen’s Chief Information Officer and Associate Vice-Principal (Information Technology Services).

To support the collaboration efforts, eight institutions are developing the Knowledge Content Centre (KCC). Nick Graham, Knowledge Content Coordinator, is also acting as the project manager for the KCC, which will launch this fall.

“The KCC is a first step toward increased collaboration amongst institutions as it allows for a better understanding of our similarities and identification of areas where we can most effectively work together,” Mr. Graham says. “Institutions will be able to easily share relevant information, documentation and materials using the web-based platform. Furthermore, we are incorporating elements into the KCC that facilitate improved interaction between staff members across institutions.”

Mr. Graham notes that the project group has already seen considerable interest in expanding the centre to include non-PeopleSoft content. “It’s exciting that our current partners and even other institutions are beginning to see the potential in the KCC,” he says.

If you would like more information about the Knowledge Content Centre and Ontario PeopleSoft Shared Responsibility Initiative, you can email the ITS Project Portfolio Office.
