Where we are heading and how we get there depends in part on the support we receive from our alumni and friends – which this year totaled over $2 million. On pages 24-31 you will find a list of those whose commitment to the Faculty is crucial to our mission on many fronts. Part of that support is helping to further the progress on the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport, which is already well underway (for the latest updates, visit www.physical.utoronto.ca).

This issue also includes stories about our stand-out athletes (pages 8-11), a new graduate’s career in political journalism (page 22), and a trip down memory lane for women’s hockey (page 40).

I hope you enjoy this issue of Pursuit. As always, we welcome your feedback!

Ira Jacobs, Dean Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Education

This academic year has brought tremendous growth and change within the Faculty, as we welcome more faculty members, create new initiatives, build new facilities and renovate existing ones – all with a view to providing an outstanding experience for our students and student-athletes.

Crucial to the student experience is what happens outside the classroom, and our third- and fourth-year placement courses play a significant role in this regard. Five of our current placement students are featured in the second of a two-part series on experiential education (see page 14), offering a window into the world of hands-on learning our undergrad-uates enjoy. The number and calibre of these opportunities continues to grow, and we are excited about the relationships we are building to help our students forge their career paths.

Creating the best learning environment also means strength-ening teaching and research resources. To that end, this year we established the Centre for Motor Control (see page 3) and we are set to welcome two new faculty members in July (see page 4). Our faculty members also continue to attract strong research funding for a wide range of programs (see page 4).

Dean's Message

disciplines ranging from health sciences, biomedical engineering, healthy high performance, computer sciences and robotics.

As a hub for this critical research network, the CMC aims to better integrate basic and applied research and more efficiently translate that knowledge into methods and tools that can be used for training or treatment.

“By bringing people together around the common theme of motor behaviour, we plan to streamline the inquiry process while creating new ways of tackling our research

questions,” says Professor Tim Welsh, who will act as the CMC’s first coordinator.

Covering the entire spectrum of human movement – from patient populations to elite athletes – the CMC aims to become an international centre of excellence for the study of voluntary human movement.

“The possible outcomes are incredibly exciting and far-reaching,” says Dean Ira Jacobs. “The results of this research and the collaborations it fosters could transform approaches and applications in areas as diverse as patient rehabilitation, workplace design and athlete training.” –Althea Blackburn-Evans

Newly-established centre to build bridges between body and brain

Whether we are pulling a pen across the page or running at high speed around a track, our bodies and our brains are in constant communication, and the conversation is extremely complex. Understanding the intricacies of human movement is a vastly multidisciplinary effort that the newly-established Centre for Motor Control (CMC) aims to tackle in new ways.

Recognized by the University of Toronto in October as an official unit hosted within the Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education, the CMC brings together researchers from across the university – and ultimately Ontario and beyond – in

Recruits bring expertise in nutrition, exercise behaviour

This July the Faculty will expand its exercise behaviour team and welcome an expert in nutrition, with the recruitment of new assistant professors Katherine Tamminen and Daniel Moore. Moore brings valuable experience from both the lab and the field. From 2009 to 2011, he worked as a research and development specialist at the Nestlé Research Centre in Lausanne, Switzerland – an organization he continues to work for as a scientific consultant. He is currently a post-doctoral fellow in the department of health and nutritional sciences at the University of Guelph, where his research focuses on how exercise and nutrition impact the body in a breadth of population groups.

Tamminen, currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of British Columbia, completed her PhD with a focus on stress management in adolescent athletes. Most recently, the already well-published researcher worked as co-investigator for a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council-funded project investigating children’s physical activity and play.

“Drs. Moore and Tamminen will be important additions to our faculty complement,” says Dean Ira Jacobs.

“Each will inspire our students and enable exciting collaborative and networking opportunities within and outside of our Faculty.” –Valerie Iancovich

In 2012 the Faculty received over $1.3 million in new research funding for a range of research projects, including:

Greg Wells’s CIHR Operating Grant: Institute of Circulatory and Respiratory Health New Investigators – Bridge Funding for, “Early identification of cardiac dysfunction in obese adolescents: mechanisms and modulation.”

Peter Donnelly’s SSHRC Insight Development Grant, part of the SSHRC Sport Participation Research Initiative, for, “Multiculturalism and physical culture: the case of the greater Toronto area.”

Guy Faulkner’s CIHR Operating Grant for, “ParticipACTION after five years: assessing impact on the promotion of physical activity and the behaviour of Canadians.”

linda mainwaring’s CIHR Catalyst Grant for, “Stress markers in concussed athletes.”

Catherine Sabiston’s CIHR Operating Grant for, “Lifestyle activity and the promotion of emotional well-being, biological functioning and physical health among breast cancer survivors over time.”

The Faculty is one of only two academic units at the University of Toronto to receive funding from all three federal granting councils – a reflection of the multi-disciplinary nature of the research that happens here.

Symposium explores the walk to school

“Walking to school is not dead,” proclaimed Professor Guy Faulkner, who led a multidisciplinary panel of experts through the Faculty’s December 5 public symposium, What Happened to Walking? Encouraging Active School Travel in Toronto. Faulkner pointed out that while Toronto has seen about a 10 per cent decline in the past 20 years, kids who live within one or two kilometres of school are still quite likely to walk. But sprawling city neighbourhoods and perceptions of safety are among the factors that make the trip by foot more difficult.

Faulkner and colleagues Caroline Fusco and Ron Buliung (geography) presented highlights of their multi-year study on active school travel. They were joined by chief city planner Jennifer Keesmaat and Toronto Star architecture critic and urban affairs columnist Christopher Hume to address the walk to school and how we might create an environment more conducive to active travel.

Funded by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research and the Heart & Stroke Foundation of Canada, the study comes at a time when children are heavier, weaker and less physically-active than they were just five years ago. And the results show that girls make the trip by foot less often than boys.

Just months into her role as Toronto’s new chief planner, Jennifer Keesmaat admitted that in recent years “we’ve designed children out of public space” and said we need to make walking a fundamental part of transportation planning. A passionate advocate for “walking habitats,” Keesmaat identified some great examples in downtown Toronto where sidewalks include treed boulevards, street-side café culture abounds, and cyclists and transit vehicles share a safe transportation infrastructure. She insisted that under her leadership this model is becoming the gold standard for infrastructure renewal and new neighbourhood planning.

“We’re pursuing this pretty aggressively in the city.”

Attended by over 200 people, the symposium was the fourth in a series of free lectures hosted by the Faculty to share its diverse areas of research with the broader public. To learn more about the research presented at this symposium, visit www.beat.utoronto.ca.

Capturing coveted diamond Jubilee

The Faculty celebrated two of its own earlier this year as they were honoured with Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medals in recognition of outstanding contributions to making physical activity a priority within their community and across Canada. Michelle Brownrigg, director of physical activity and equity, and Professor Guy Faulkner received the medals on February 1 as a result of nominations through ParticipACTION, Canada’s national voice of physical activity and sport participation.

The Diamond Jubilee Medals were created to mark the 2012 celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II’s accession to the

Throne as Queen of Canada. In the past year 60,000 Canadians were recognized with medals in honour of their outstanding achievements. Brownrigg and Faulkner were among 55 individuals working and volunteering within the field of physical activity promotion to receive a medal.

Brownrigg manages a portfolio focused on providing broad-based physical activity and sport opportunities for the University of Toronto student body, faculty and the broader community, with a focus on reaching out to underserved populations. Faulkner’s research focuses on two inter-related themes: the effectiveness of physical activity promotion interventions, and

physical activity and mental health. His work recently uncovered the fact that 99 per cent of Toronto children fail to meet the minimum daily physical activity requirements, a finding that garnered significant attention. He is also working with Brownrigg on the evaluation of MoveU, an awareness campaign launched at U of T last fall.

“I am so proud that our Faculty includes such nationally-recognized leaders of health and physical activity research and programs,” says Dean Jacobs. “These medals serve as a testament to the impact this extraordinarily important work is having, and to the fact that active, healthy living is a growing priority in Canada.”–ABE

Times to beat, medals to win and supporters to please – for many high performance athletes, coping with the mental stress of competition can be as challenging as physical training. Anxiety and depression are just as prevalent in high performance athletes as the rest of the population, but master’s student Ethan Ruderman says that the formula for prescribing medication to athletes with mental health issues may need rethinking.

Currently, prescription dosage is determined based on factors such as age, sex, weight and ethnicity, with little or no consideration of how a patient’s fitness level affects drug metabolism.

With funding from the Ontario Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sport, Ruderman is studying how the most widely-prescribed antidepressant, sertraline – commonly known by its brand name, Zoloft – behaves in athletes’ bodies. Through blood analysis, Ruderman is monitoring concentration levels of the drug in subjects when they are active and when they are sedentary.

His theory is that drug levels stay higher and remain in the system longer in an active person. “It’s well-established that exercise causes blood to move away from the internal organs to get to the working muscles,” he explains. Since less blood gets to the liver, where the antidepressant is metabolized, Ruderman’s hypothesis is that the drug breaks down at a slower rate during activity, meaning athletes may not need to replenish the body’s supply of medication with the same dosage as those who are sedentary.

Getting too much sertraline, Ruderman says, can have adverse effects – potentially even contributing to feelings of anxiety and depression. “Too much of the drug affects your motivation and your energy levels, which can be especially difficult to cope with for a high performance athlete in training.”

metabolism, medication and mental health Rethinking prescription drug dosage in athletes

Ruderman plans to finish gathering data by May but is keen to see the results, as his project also has potential to impact the broader population. Taking up physical activity will impact anyone’s metabolism, meaning that doses of the medication could lower across the board if mental health patients are prescribed physical activity in conjunction with the drug.

“Our ultimate goal is to ease the burden of both the disease and the medication by improving on the optimal dosage,” says Ruderman, pointing out that avoiding medication, when possible, is ideal. “But prescription drugs are often necessary. If we can achieve a more accurate dosage and at the same time encourage sufferers to be more active, that is a much healthier outcome for everyone.” –VI

making waves

The men’s swim team capped off a remarkable season on February 23 when they finished first at the CIS championships held in Calgary, seizing their first national banner since 1994. The Blues won the championship by a narrow 15 points, ending an 18-year reign shared by the UBC Thunderbirds and Calgary Dinos.

“I have been in a lot of two-team races, but never a three-team race that was this close,” says head coach Byron MacDonald, who was named CIS coach of the year. For the first time in recent years, all three teams had to fight to the very end in hopes of capturing a win. Standout performers at the event included rookie Brian Lee, who earned a silver medal in the men’s 50m breaststroke by a slim 0.73 seconds. Matthew Myers also earned silver in the 200m backstroke.

The team had plenty to celebrate as this CIS win came on the heels of their tenth consecutive provincial victory, which they earned at home on February 9. In a stunning comeback after a year-long hiatus, fourth-year student Zack Chetrat (pictured above) broke three records at the meet and earned the Grand Slam award in addition to being named OUA male swimmer of the year.

The women’s team boasted silver at the championships. Third-year standout Vanessa Treasure earned five medals at the tournament, including two individual titles, and was named an OUA first team all-star for her performance. –Adrienne Harry

After finishing the regular season with a perfect record, the women’s field hockey team won their second consecutive OUA banner and their sixth title in the past nine seasons when they travelled to Waterloo last October for the championships. Battling it out in the rain, the Blues defeated the Guelph Gryphons to improve their season to a perfect 14-0-0 heading into the national competition.

With OUA gold under their belts, the Blues advanced to the final match at the CIS championships held November 4 on home turf. Going head-to-head against the top-seeded UBC Thunderbirds, the Blues earned silver – their 25th national honour since 1975. Defender Kaelan Watson and midfielders Tegan Stairs and Amanda Woodcroft were named CIS all-Canadians for their outstanding efforts. “We have a talented team with a good combination of great veterans and dedicated rookies,” says women’s field hockey head coach John DeSouza. “This is one of those special teams that only comes along every so often.” –AH

Fierce on the field

Coaching the coaches

Ongoing education is the key to perfecting a craft. This was the senti-ment at U of T’s second annual National Soccer Coaching Conference on February 2. Organized by Varsity Blues manager of soccer opera-tions and men’s head coach Anthony Capotosto, the two-day event saw over 380 coaches from across the country and all levels of the game brainstorming solutions to challenges facing the sport.

With topics ranging from youth coaching strategies to cultivating a more robust soccer culture in Canada, coaches exchanged ideas and gained insight from some of North America’s top experts and clini-cians. Presenters included Gordon Forrest, residency head coach and manager of coaching development for the U-18 Vancouver Whitecaps, and Thomas Rongen, director for the Toronto FC Academy. Bob de Klerk, former youth team coach for Amsterdam’s Ajax FC and former assistant coach at Toronto FC, discussed the Ajax youth system, lauded as one of the best in the world.

Capotosto hopes the weekend’s in-class and on-field sessions inspired new ideas about coaching and Canadian soccer as a whole. “We want coaches to confirm what they know about coaching, collect new information, collaborate with colleagues and challenge ideas about the game. It’s only by educating ourselves that we’ll ultimately raise the standard of play in Canada.” –AH

Provincial champs

BADMINTONThe Blues won their first badminton championship in a decade, beating out the Western Mustangs. Michelle Li and Grace Gao won gold in women’s doubles and were named the 2012-13 most valuable players. Gao was also named female rookie of the year. Teammate Jackie Yeung, who paired up with Gao to pull the Blues into a championship tie-breaker against the Mustangs, was named male rookie of the year.

GOLFThe women’s team earned their second title in four years, finishing eight strokes ahead of the host team, the Waterloo Warriors. Each Blue earned OUA all-star status for placing within the top eight at the event.

BASEBALLThe Blues upset the Brock Badgers 4-0, earning their second consecutive title. Andy Orfanakos pitched a stellar game and was named championship MVP for his extraordinary performance. Second baseman Jamie Lekas was named OUA all-star for the third time in five years.

WATER POLOIn a thrilling rematch against the host Carleton Ravens, the Blues claimed their 29th title in program history. Marko Brasic, Tuna Tali and Alan Chung were named OUA all-stars. Chung was also named championship MVP. –AH

Swimming and field hockey weren’t the only big winners this season. The Blues also brought home provincial titles in water polo, baseball, badminton and golf.

Silver finishOn top of strong provincial and national showings, the Blues came a close second in fencing and track and field.

Finishing just one point behind the Guelph Gryphons, U of T earned silver in women’s track and field at the OUA championship with a series of record-breaking performances that garnered an impressive 17 medals.

In another close tournament, the team finished second overall on the national scene. Trailing the Calgary Dinos by only 3.5 points at the end of the CIS championships, the Blues led all schools with five gold medals. Khamica Bingham, Alicia Brown (pictured above), Sarah Wells and Natalie Geiger broke two national record times and won gold in the women’s 4x200m relay.

In Ottawa, the men’s fencing team celebrated provincial silver. The Blues earned the foil team gold medal, while fourth-year veteran Kyle Chan was named men’s foil individual champion, earning his second Charles Walters Trophy. Chan was also awarded the George Tully Trophy for sportsmanship and was named OUA all-star along with teammate Tomasz Blazejewski. –AH

Hosting highlights

The sports season was busier than ever for U of T, as the proud host of four championships: CIS women’s field hockey, CIS women’s hockey, OUA swimming and Canadian University and College squash. “U of T’s sports facilities are some of the best in the country,” says Beth Ali, director of intercollegiate and high performance sport. “It was an honour to have the chance to showcase our world-class facilities to teams from all over Canada.” In addition to winning the 2013 OUA swimming title and earning silver at the CIS field hockey championships, the Blues gave strong performances in squash and women’s hockey. At the squash championships, Blues co-captain Wilfred Ip won a bronze medal in the men’s B division, while his teammate Jonathan Kent grabbed gold. Third-year net-minder Nicole Kesteris helped the Blues force overtime in the women’s hockey championship, with a career-high 53 saves in one night. In a nail-biting overtime shoot-out, it took Montreal 10 shots to score the game point and advance to the semi-finals. –AH

Kelly Arbour-Nicitopoulos has a lot on her plate. Settling in to her new role as assistant professor and

adjusting to motherhood with a newborn baby at home, the self-described “type A” personality tells

Adrienne Harry how she has had to get creative when it comes to maintaining her healthy lifestyle.

FIt tIPs


Douglas RecommendsCREATE A SCHEDUlE

“Kelly should not feel guilty when looking for time to work out,” Douglas says. “She has to acknowledge that exercise is just as important in her routine as any other meeting.” Douglas recommends Kelly add scheduled workouts to her calendar and respect workout time as she would a work meeting or other commitment.

mAKE THE mOST OF YOUR TImE

“High intensity training is a great way to do an effective workout in less time.” He recommends that Kelly split her workouts into 15- to 20-minute, high intensity chunks. “Find pockets of time during the day to work out. And have an exercise bag in your office in case a meeting gets canceled or rescheduled.”

BE CREATIVE

Douglas suggests small ways that Kelly can incorporate fitness into her work and home life. “If Kelly has a meeting, she could suggest having it in a different building on campus so that she has to walk there. Or she can bring some of her work to the gym with her if she is using a stationary bike or elliptical trainer.”

FOOD mATTERS

Kelly sticks to a balanced diet, which Douglas says is especially important for new moms. “New moms should ensure they are getting enough nutrients from a complete diet that contains a balance of carbohydrates, fats and proteins. Also, be sure to eat a variety of vegetables throughout the day.” To keep from forgetting mealtimes, Douglas recommends that Kelly set a lunch-time alarm. “Since Kelly is still nursing, she needs to have enough calories in her body for her and her daughter .”

NAmE: Kelly Arbour-Nicitopoulos

OCCUPATION: Assistant Professor

AGE: 33

SPORTS BACKGROUND: Competitive dancer for 15 years in ballet, acrobatics, tap and jazz. Marathon runner for 15 years.

CARDIO AND FITNESS ROUTINE: With less time for cardio exercise than she once had, Arbour-Nicitopoulos breaks exercise into shorter chunks. She goes for a 20-minute run every morning, uses the stairs instead of elevators and takes movement breaks when she’s working at her desk.

STRENGTH AND CONDITIONING ROUTINE: Upper and lower body strength training at home two to three times a week using free weights, a stability ball or therabands.

CHAllENGES: Finding the time to exercise. Like many busy moms, she fights pangs of guilt when taking time out of her busy schedule to work out.

DIET: Arbour-Nicitopoulos maintains a healthy diet that includes chicken, fish and a wide variety of fruits and vegetables. She drinks almond and soy milk as her newborn has a cow’s milk allergy. She tries to incorporate more calories into her diet to fuel her body for working out and nursing.

TEmPTATIONS: “Frozen yogurt. Love it! And we make homemade popcorn a couple of times a week.”

ACCOmPlISHmENT: “I would have to say the birth of my daughter!” Also an avid runner, Arbour-Nicitopoulos cites completing her very first 30-kilometre race as another big milestone.

GOAl: Ultimately, Arbour-Nicitopoulos would like to maintain balance between her career, family and fitness goals. “I’d like to be able to work out at lunch so that when I get home I’ve had my ‘me time,’ I don’t feel guilty and I’m able to play with my daughter and worry about nothing else but her.”

decades before the phrase ‘experiential education’ was making waves in post-secondary circles, U of T’s kinesiology and physical education students were putting theory into practice on the field and in the lab. Today, the Faculty’s undergraduate students have more opportunities than ever to fuse classroom concepts with real-life situations. For many in third and fourth year, that means enrolling in professional placement courses.

Since last summer, this curriculum has been evolving. Recently-recruited experiential education specialist Ashley Stirling has taken the lead in

building stronger bridges between the lecture hall and the workplace. The Faculty’s list of partnerships is also growing to include more hospitals and organizations like the Canadian Sport Centre Ontario, Variety Village and the St. Alban's Boys and girls Club.

As the following five students near the end of their placement journeys, surrounded by experts in their given fields, they have reaped a breadth of benefits. They’ve learned about themselves and gained lifelong skills – and some have caught that elusive glimpse of the professionals they aspire to become.

thIS IS hOw I hELPWhen the Blues women’s basketball team hit the court this past fall, some of the players did so very gently, coming fresh off the operating room table. Over the course of her five-month placement with the

MacIntosh Sport Medicine Clinic, Danielle Emmons watched these athletes gradually return to their jumping and sprinting ways – a process she won’t soon forget.

“It was great to work one-on-one with the players and do the rehab exercises, see them get stronger and stronger, and then play full-out by the middle of the season,” she recalls.

In one of the longest-standing placement opportunities at the Faculty, students like Emmons gain practical experience working with one of the largest pools of athletes in Canada, right on home turf.

Emmons shadowed Jacquie Van Ierssel and Erin Brooks – lead physiotherapists with the women’s basketball team – taping, bracing and icing athletes before practices and games, and learning the ropes of rehabilitating players suffering from injury.

With an eye on a career in physiotherapy, Emmons was immediately drawn to the placement. Her only concern was whether her learning style was conducive to working with and responding to athletes in action. Before her placement she considered herself an abstract thinker and book-oriented learner, but today admits, “The placement has shown me I’m more adaptable that I thought.”

She also credits the team environment for inspiring her to rise to the challenge. “The more I was with them for practices and games, the more motivated I felt. Michèle Bélanger is an amazing coach. It was such a rewarding experience to be part of that.”

thIS IS hOw I SEE MY fUtUREWhen Jason Lacombe walks through the doors of Princess Margaret Hospital each week, it’s like he’s opening a gateway to a very exciting future. “I really like the

hospital setting – getting exposed to these real-life situations with doctors, psychologists and social workers and seeing the theories we read about applied really effectively.”

Lacombe’s placement with ELLICSR, a health and wellness cancer survivorship research centre, has solidified his goal to get into medical school or pursue a career in research. Specifically he hopes to delve deeper into the possible benefits of exercise for cancer survivors – a topic he has begun to explore during his time under the mentorship of Drs. Jennifer Jones and Charmaine Silva.

Since September, Lacombe has contributed to grant proposals and played a key role in gathering data directly from patients for a study into fatigue in breast and colorectal cancer patients. This often delicate interaction has proven to be among the most demanding, yet fulfilling, of his professional experiences. He says the lessons he has learned surrounding patient ethics and best practices, both in the classroom and from his mentors, have been especially valuable.

Though the placement is coming to an end, Lacombe would like to stay involved in the project. “A year ago, I knew nothing about the connection between physical activity and cancer survivorship, but having met these dedicated staff and the patients, I’ve developed a passion for the subject. I always feel good when I leave the hospital.”


thIS hOw I LEARNSeasoned track athlete Rachel Jewett approached her third-year placement much like she would a race: ready to push beyond her comfort zone. Jewett worked

under the mentorship of chiropractor Dr. James Fung, owner of Complete Balance Health Centre, where her responsibilities included engaging directly with his patients – a role that took some getting used to.

“I knew that interacting with patients was an important component, but it’s turned out to be even more important and challenging than I thought,” she admits. Her duties vary but include welcoming patients, interacting with them and taking chart notes during their treatments.

Jewett says that this professional exposure has helped her get a better sense of her learning style and provided an opportunity to build on her communication and organization skills. “If there’s a lot going on, I forget things and get stressed out. I’ve realized that I need to write things down. I’ve started keeping a pen and paper with me at all times in the clinic, which has helped a lot.”

Jewett credits Fung with helping her develop these techniques, creating what she calls a perfect learning environment for students. “Whenever he has a break in his day he takes the time to walk me through what he’s doing. I appreciate moments like that when I get to learn his methods and how he goes about treating patients.”

While Jewett is still uncertain of her career path, she’s confident that the placement experience will help her along the way. “Everything from communicating with patients to active listening and managing conflict – I know I’ll use these skills in my career down the road. Really, I think it’s the most valuable way to learn: outside the classroom.”


thIS IS hOw I LEADSteven Pang can’t wait to lead his own physical education class. In the meantime, the fourth-year student is soaking up as much experience as he can, currently finishing his second placement in a school setting. Last year Pang was at University of Toronto Schools,

working with teens. This year he’s focused on the primary grades, with a placement at Upper Canada College – one of Toronto’s most prestigious private schools.

“If I just had the placement by itself I wouldn’t be learning as much,” says Pang. “I’m better when I’m actually doing things, but with the theory that Professor Stirling is teaching I can relate back to what I’ve learned when I’m there in the classroom. She gives us a framework for reflection and that helps you learn from your mistakes and find ways to improve.”

Upper Canada College’s director of physical education, Nigel White, has taken Pang under his wing, liaising with gym teachers and allowing him to shadow a variety of instructors and coaches. “He’s great,” says Pang of his mentor. “He goes beyond. He wants me to get a management perspective as well, so I’ve even been able to help organize and work at tournaments, too.”

Pang is applying to teachers’ college next year and feels confident that this hands-on work will give him an edge. He also credits the placements with helping him realize his affinity for teaching high school. “I’m going to continue to take in all the experiences, and to soak in all kinds of teaching styles. I’ve realized that you don’t really know what teaching is like until you get in the classroom.”


These are just five of the over 160 stories from students who enrolled in the placement program this year. Stirling is proud that so many have thrived under the revised curriculum. “The personal and professional development that I’ve seen in these students has been remarkable. Many began their placements with apprehension, but it’s wonderful to see the change when they realize that the skills they’ve acquired at the Faculty really work in a variety of professional settings.”

In 2013-14, the breadth of these opportunities is set to expand even further thanks to newly-established relationships with organizations such as the Peter Munk Cardiac Centre, CultureLink Settlement Services and Premiere Elite Athletes’ Collegiate. It's the kind of growth that dean Ira Jacobs encourages. "It is vital that our Faculty continues to enhance and develop the placement program. We are fortunate to be in the heart of the gTA, a community rich with a high calibre of expertise across various disciplines. Having undergraduate students immersed in these professional environments is just one way our Faculty stays at the forefront of our field."

thIS IS hOw I GEt INSPIREDThere’s a certain joy to seeing theories spring to life in the lab – a discovery that fourth-year kinesiology student Kathleen Abreo has made during her time working at Sick Kids Hospital in the cardio-pulmonary exercise lab. “This placement has put a lot of what I learned in the classroom into practice, which is really great to see,” says Abreo. “When you’re learning from a textbook, it can seem so abstract, but when I’m actually applying it, for

example, watching the RQ [respiratory quotient] climb during the VO2 max test I think, ‘Wow, this real life!’”

Abreo discovered a passion for research under the mentorship of Dr. Jane Sneiderman, taking an active role in a project that examines how exercise impacts children with cystic fibrosis. Her placement couples exposure to a broad spectrum of science and research with her love of working with kids.

“It’s been a grab bag of experiences,” says Abreo. “I’ve always loved working with children. But I’ve never seen research in action before, so I’m thinking more and more about that direction for my future.”

To complement fieldwork, the placement curriculum also requires students to write and discuss reflections about their experiences – a process Abreo appreciates. “The reflections add a lot of meaning. You can go to your placement and leave with the vague sense that you got a lot out of it.” For Abreo, documenting these experiences helps her to understand, in a very constructive and specific way, her specific learning objectives and outcomes.

Abreo also credits Stirling’s course with teaching her professional skills she now regularly calls upon, especially those related to ethical practices in a hospital setting. “Doing tests on these children in the hospital is completely new,” she says, noting that the only previous experience she’d had leading fitness tests was when she’d worked on her peers in classroom. “Children’s results are totally different, but it’s also real life. They’re there for a reason."


At hOME ON thE hILL

Some would say Annie Claire Bergeron-Oliver has come full circle. Returning to her hometown and following in her father’s footsteps on Parliament Hill (her dad is the renowned political journalist Craig Oliver), one might think Bergeron-Oliver’s destiny was long ago set in stone. But this recent graduate’s already impressive career trajectory makes it clear she is forging a path all her own.

As an undergrad at U of T, Bergeron-Oliver (BPHE, Politics 1T1, Skating) was at a crossroads – torn between a career in science and one in journalism. She says her choice to study both physical health education and political science gave her the freedom to keep her options open. “It offered me the ability to study political science, sports medicine and personal health – all these courses I’d always been interested in.” The Varsity Blues skater and two-time OUA medalist also served on Governing Council, coached in the Junior Blues learn-to-skate program and indulged her passion for writing at The Varsity.

The thrill of seeing her name in print cemented Bergeron-Oliver’s plan to pursue a career in writing. She jumped at the offer of a coveted spot in Columbia’s master’s program in journalism, but admits the learning curve was steep. “I had never really done radio reporting, I had never picked up a television camera. I didn’t even know what a lede was, really!” Columbia became a springboard for internships at MTV, Sports Illustrated and CBC’s New York bureau, and a stint as an evening news writer at CityTV. These roles allowed her to cover everything from Jack Layton’s biggest political victory to the 2012 Olympics Games, and gave her a taste of time-crunched writing and producing for a national daily news program.

This past January and just a few months out of journalism school, Bergeron-Oliver took her training and her talents to Parliament Hill, as a print and video reporter for the online newspaper iPolitics. Despite her impressive credentials, she is still somewhat starry-eyed in her new gig. “I have a press pass and I’m at committee meetings and Question Period and interviewing parliamentarians every day; it’s amazing!”

While her weekly schedule keeps her hopping, Bergeron-Oliver still has time to blog for the Huffington Post and write for a sports publication called The Bleacher Report. She also squeezes in some coaching for the Blues and a bit of horse riding “on the side” (she spent a year on the equestrian team at U of T, too).

But most of this ambitious young reporter’s focus goes to innovating on the Hill. As the first video reporter for iPolitics, Bergeron-Oliver is helping blaze a new trail. “We’re doing new [video] segments every week and our current subscribers really like the work. It’s showing a different part of Parliament Hill that our audience was missing before.”

CELEBRAtING OUR SUPPORtERSThe Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education is very fortunate to have a growing number of dedicated and passionate alumni and friends among its supporters. Each year these individuals, foundations and corporations contribute to both our academic and athletic programs, enabling us to reach new heights in fostering successful students and student-athletes, conducting cutting-edge research and creating better places and spaces in which to carry out our multi-faceted mission.

Together our alumni and friends have contributed $2,054,059* so far this fiscal year, over $1 million of which will further exciting new capital projects such as the Goldring Centre for High Performance Sport.

Thanks to this continued commitment, we are also thrilled to usher in a host of awards this year. The Faculty of Kinesiology and Physical Education GSEF (Graduate Student Endowment Fund) Fellowship, established by an anonymous donor along with several friends of the Faculty,

will support academically-outstanding graduate students. The R. Tait McKenzie Scholarships celebrate two incoming undergraduate students each year, and are renewable for every year of study based on continued academic success. Newly-created athletic awards include the Morley Thomas Football Award of Merit, established by Morley’s son, Stephen, to honour his 50 years as a Blues football season ticket holder; the Tom Woods Men’s Volleyball Award of Merit, established by volleyball alumnus Tom Woods; and the Sally Manning Field Hockey Award of Merit, established by Sally, a PHE alumna and member of the U of T Sports Hall of Fame.

We are ever grateful for this commitment to strengthening our capacity to be leaders in education, research and athletics. Where we are – and where we are heading – is made possible in large part by the donors who continue to support us and to champion our programs and our promising students and student-athletes.

ANNE CHUN WOmEN’S BASKETBAll AWARD OF mERIT (2007) PlANNED GIFT (2012)

Once a self-confessed basketball junkie, this successful chartered accountant and dedicated supporter of the Blues women’s basketball team hopes her contributions help other young women get as much out of the game as she did.

Anne Chun lived for basketball. A reluctant student in her native Hong Kong, a 12-year-old Chun relied on the call of the court to get her to school. “We had a very good team, and to get on it I packed my uniform in my backpack, ran uphill for a mile to my school, trained in the morning, at recess, during lunch and after school,” she recalls, with a pensive pause. “I’m getting emotional here. Basketball was my whole life.”

Chun’s early determination paid off when she and some of her high school teammates were selected to represent Hong Kong at the first Asian schools basketball competition in Singapore. There she met a young woman named Tsai Chang, who was competing for the host country, and the two bonded. Years later, on Canadian soil as a second-year commerce student, Chun met Chang again – this time as a fellow Blue. “That was a really terrific surprise!”

Chun came to U of T after starting her university career in the United States. The draw was the strength of the accounting program, but she says sport had an equal impact on her university days. “The experience was tremendous because it allowed me to play the sport I love. I always believed in not just focusing on books and academics; I believed from a young age that it’s very important to be physically active and I’ve lived that my whole life.”

While Chun has enjoyed a range of sports over the years – today she stays active at the gym and on the golf course – she says the team work in basketball appealed to her most. “When you get involved in a team sport, you get skills working with a lot of different personalities, just like at work and in life. That’s why I really want to support the program at U of T.”

For many years Chun was busy building a career, but a reunion organized by former coach Sharon Bradley reconnected her with U of T. Then in 2007, Chun received a basketball signed by the Blues women’s team and “it hit an emotional nerve.” With the help of Robin Campbell, executive director of advancement, she established the Anne Chun Women’s Basketball Award of Merit, an annual award that will be given in perpetuity. She followed up her commitment in 2012 with a planned gift, in her will, directed to continued support for women’s basketball and the Women’s Athletic Association Trust, which supports women’s athletics at U of T.

Chun says it was always in the back of her mind to give back when she could, and she hopes others like her will be inspired to support their respective teams in some way. “I hope more people will think about what they can do – whether it’s in their will or during their lifetime. It really helps the athletes.”

That signed basketball has pride of place in Chun’s study, a reminder of the sport she loves and the school where she ended her basketball career. But mostly it’s a symbol of the potential and the dreams of the student-athletes who came after her. “Coming to the [awards] ceremonies is a lot of fun – hearing what these great students have done and receiving some lovely letters from the recipients. I’m getting emotional again!”

I’m getting emotional here. Basketball was my whole life.”

Career Café

Organizers of the event hope that this chance to connect students with alumni spanning over several industries will offer an education that extends beyond the classroom. “It’s important that all students begin to explore career options early in their undergraduate degree,” says David Avendano Gutte, a fourth-year kinesiology student who helped to emcee the event. “Kinesiology, physical education and health provide such diverse career opportunities. Our goal is to help students discover their passion and turn it into a career that they love.”–AH

If you are interested in taking part in the 2014 Career Café, please contact us at [email protected]

Over 70 undergrad students connected with U of T alumni at the Faculty’s fourth annual Career Café on February 26. Through a series of round table discussions, students gained insight into various career paths, from education and nursing to personal training and sport marketing. Proving it is never too early to start expanding their profes-sional networks, the mostly first- and second-year students embraced the opportunity to gather tips and advice from professionals who had once been in their shoes as U of T undergrads. This year’s event saw attendance jump by over 40 per cent, suggesting that more students are interested in getting a head start at shaping their career goals.

ClASS NOTeS

Dr. David L. MacIntoshMore than 60 years ago, as U of T’s active and energetic students were creating a growing demand for sport medicine services, Dr. David MacIntosh was recruited to the Hart House Surgery to extend student-athlete care at what is now believed to be North America’s first sport medicine clinic. “Dr. Mac”, as many knew him, made legendary contributions to both the world of orthopaedic sport medicine and to the University of Toronto itself. A brilliant pioneer whose work benefit people around the world, Dr. MacIntosh passed away peacefully on January 12 at the age of 98.

During his early years at U of T, many of Dr. MacIntosh’s patients were students who suffered from torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL), an often-debilitating injury of the knee. His surgical talents and hands-on experience led him to discover the best diagnostic test and

pioneer the world’s first successful surgery for the management of ACL injuries, both groundbreaking developments in the field.

In 1979 sport medicine at Hart House migrated to the Warren Stevens Building, where the renowned David L. MacIntosh Sport Medicine Clinic continues to thrive today. Dr. MacIntosh retired in 1984, but his legacy continues in the legions of physicians and surgeons who honed their expertise under his guidance.

Dr. MacIntosh was honoured with the Thomas R. Loudon Award for outstanding service to athletics and recreation in 1980, and was inducted into the University of Toronto Sports Hall of Fame as a builder in 2005.

Nick ThierryArchitecture 6T4, Swimming

World swimming authority, writer and statistician Nick Thierry died at the age of 73 on October 2, 2012. A native of Hungary, Nick fell in love with swimming when his family moved to Cuba and then Toronto. He swam competitively for the University of Toronto and began coaching here in 1961. After completing a degree in architecture in 1964 he worked in that field for four years before returning to his first love: swimming. Nick coached Canadian swimmers who qualified for

the 1964, 1968 and 1972 Olympic teams. He saw a need for statistics and record-keeping in the sport, so swimmers would know who and what times they were chasing when they trained. For decades, he was the official records keeper and statistician for FINA, swimming’s inter-national governing body. Nick founded the monthly SwimNews Magazine in 1974 and established SwimNews.com in the 1990s. Both were well-respected sources of domestic and international news in the swim community. He is survived by his older brother George Thierry.

Blades and Glory BY AlTHEA BlACKBURN-EVANS

When the 1960-61 Blues women’s hockey team boarded a Toronto-bound train after a tournament in Kingston, Ontario, they were in store for a thrilling surprise. Originating in Montreal, that train also held members of the Montreal Canadians. The conductor ushered the giddy young women two by two into the breakfast cart to meet the NHL greats, among them Maurice “The Rocket” Richard and Frank Mahovlich.

Star scorer Linda Maki (Pella) led the charge, one of the first to have her skates signed by The Rocket. Pella recalls that the steely Richard didn’t crack a smile while he obliged. Perhaps he was lamenting his recent retirement or simply thinking, ‘What are women doing playing hockey?’

But his stoicism didn’t deflate the girls’ enthusiasm. The Blues went on to become a terrific inspiration in intercollegiate sport, reviving women’s hockey at the varsity level and capturing the intercollegiate invitational hockey tournament the following season.

Today’s Blues women are in the presence of another hockey legend: head coach and three-time Olympian Vicky Sunohara. In March Sunohara and her team proudly welcomed standout student-athletes from across the country, as host of the CIS women’s hockey championships.
