MESSAGE FROM THE PROVOST & VICE PRESIDENT, ACADEMIC

Details HEADLINE DEPARTMENT SPOTLIGHT Of Fields and Feelings: The Department of Physical Sciences & The Department of Computer Science

hile other post-secondary institutions have had to pump the brakes, MacEwan will welcome more than forty-five new tenure-track colleagues ahead of the new academic year. Growing the academy has been a priority, and as we enroll more students, we will need more full time instructors. There is not much controversy in observing that new salary lines will be invested in places where student numbers, and assigned course sections, continue to grow. What has proven more elusive is consensus about what it means to hire. While in some competitive areas we recruit more experienced colleagues, even posting for Associate Professors, my assumption has been that recruiting to the tenure track is scouting for talent. We run ads for Assistant Professors and look for ABDs and applicants with newly acquired terminal degrees, find those people who love to teach and whose research programs align, and bring on colleagues who will grow with us. It seems reasonable that some people, many of whom I hope are reading this and appreciating how much I value your commitment to MacEwan, might wish to jump to our institution because you were, and are, drawn by our mission. But it might surprise you to know that I now sometimes see searches in which everyone ranked in the review of applications already has a permanent job elsewhere. My recruitment budget, approved on the assumption that most new hires command the

first half of the salary scale, groans under the weight of contracts for people with years of full-time experience teaching elsewhere, commanding a salary near the top of the scale.

With no change in our grant, we need to be prudent with money, and ahead of next year’s recruitment requests, it would be useful to reflect on whether or not we can balance the recruitment of more senior applicants with some good old talent scouting. I hear all the time that committees seek to bring on “the best,” but does that always have to mean the most experienced person willing to apply for an Assistant Professorship? At some point, a budget built around mid-point starting salaries will collapse through demands for top-of-scale pay. I have done everything within my power over these past seven years to land the first- or second-ranked candidate in every competition, no matter the cost. But, increasingly, I worry that I simply will not be able to afford recommended applicants, particularly if we really see our future, exclusively, as a place that recruits people to their second (or third) academic job.

WHAT I’M READING Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone, by J.K. Rowling. Bloomsbury, 1997.

Am I the last person to read J.K. Rowling? Setting myself the goal, this summer, to get to know Harry Potter, I certainly enjoyed this first book in the series. I never studied children’s (or young adult) literature, however this initial volume might be characterized, so I was surprised that a rich fantasy emerges from one breakneck plot twist after another. I wondered at one point if even a (literally) marked wizard deserved a day or a week or a term off from calamity. I am told that the pacing is necessary to engage a young audience. Alas. What exposition is here is delightful, as I ponder the GIC rate at Gringotts, and wonder why no one called the authorities on the Dursleys. Would a Provost ever drink unicorn’s blood?

Shattered , by Hanif Kureishi. Ecco, 2025. In late 2022, Hanif Kureishi, one of my favourite novelists, fainted and toppled from a chair, injuring his spine. This stunning memoir of his first year of rehabilitation is a reflection on his work, a look inside healthcare in Europe, and a frank description of how he lived his life during those twelve months. He comments on many occasions that he has lost all shame, and so I have nothing with which to compare the frankness with which he discusses what must be done for him in his paralysis. For about two decades I would buy whatever he published on the day of its release, but I learned so much more about him and his writing process here. And, of course, bringing his insight to himself as subject, he explains how it feels to have lost so much and sought to recover whatever is possible.

MacEwan Teaching Awards Recipients share their thoughts on teaching at MacEwan

Distinguished Teaching Award Dr. Amanda Nelund Department of Sociology

Distinguished Teaching Award Christine Pope Department of Child and Youth Care

Teaching at MacEwan for the past decade has given me the opportunity to help build academic communities. My teaching is guided by relational pedagogy, an approach that argues students learn best when they can build relationships with their professors and with each other. One of my goals and favorite parts of teaching has been getting to know students and helping them build the knowledge and skills they need. At the end of every semester, I thank students in my classes for allowing me to be a part of their academic journey and I am always thrilled when they continue to stay in touch and update me on where their learning takes them.

Teaching, like child and youth care, is about relationships that develop from everyday interactions— interactions that inspire curiosity and connection. Every day, I’m motivated by the students I work with, their compassion, and their commitment to supporting young people and families. Teaching and learning are not individual or isolated experiences. Creating opportunities for students to engage both in the classroom and with local and international communities helps shape values, critical thinking skills, empathy, and action. I am privileged in my role as an instructor, and the opportunities to work alongside students and as a member of the MacEwan community.

Teaching Leadership Award Robert Andruchow Department of Design

Teaching Leadership Award Dr. Melissa Hills Department of Biological Sciences

It has been an honour to provide teaching leadership for MacEwan University over the last 10 years. I’ve had the unique privilege to lead the creation of a new Bachelor of Design degree, co-lead the creation Alberta’s first major in Digital Experience Design (DXD) and Canada’s first upskilling DXD Certificate, and co-lead the creation of 5 out-of-faculty minors. These new educational opportunities will jumpstart careers for thousands of students and fill talent gaps for hundreds of design employers over the next couple of decades. It is immensely meaningful to me to provide such lasting impact on Alberta’s economy and society, hopefully making daily life more friendly, meaningful, and beautiful.

Great teaching is a team effort. I’m probably supposed to say students are the best part of my job—and they are wonderful—but for me, it’s my colleagues. Great teaching takes more than I could ever do alone. It relies on the skills students develop in your classrooms as well as mine. It thrives in the student-centered culture we build through governance and shared commitment. It grows from our passion, generosity, and collaboration. We celebrate our teaching wins, share ideas, and support each other through challenges. I’m truly privileged to have spent the last nineteen years teaching alongside you all.

Sessional Teaching Excellence Award Cody Esih Department of Decision Sciences

Sessional Teaching Excellence Award Dr.Lori Harper Department of Psychology

Teaching at MacEwan has been the honour of my life. I consider it a rare privilege to be able to wake up feeling excited to go to work and teach such amazing students. As a MacEwan alumni myself, I have an opportunity to give back what MacEwan has given to me. It is so rewarding to witness my students go through their own academic journeys to discover their potential and undergo personal transformation. MacEwan is such a special community with passionate, collaborative colleagues and exceptional students. I never could have dreamed of having such a fulfilling and rewarding career.

I am very grateful and humbled to receive the Sessional teaching award. Teaching at MacEwan is very special to me as my experiences have helped me to develop and grow, not only as an instructor and researcher, but personally as well. I love that class sizes are small and that I can get to know students well. I treasure both the relationships I have developed with students and the opportunity to watch them succeed. I very much appreciate the collegiality of the psychology department and sharing a common goal with my colleagues-student success.

Sessional Teaching Award Colin Waugh Department of Design

Early Career Award Kealey Dube Department of Social Work

Teaching at MacEwan has been an opportunity to share my hard-learned lessons from the film and video industry with a new generation of ambitious artists. Their big ideas and reckless excitement bring a unique perspective to my personal work, and wrangling those big ideas keeps every semester fresh, collaborative, and full of experimentation.

Teaching at MacEwan is a true privilege, made even more meaningful by the opportunity to collaborate with exceptional colleagues and engage with passionate, thoughtful students. Working alongside students who are eager to make a difference renews my hope in a more just and compassionate world. I am inspired by their resilience, their empathy, and their determination to challenge the status quo. Guiding students as they develop their voices is both a privilege and a powerful reminder that our collective future is in thoughtful, capable hands. Their questions, insights, and growth remind me why this work matters. Their passion fuels my own!

Early Career Award Soni Dasmohapatra Department of Arts and Cultural Management

My teaching journey at MacEwan has been both enriching and transformative. As an assistant professor in the Arts and Cultural Management department, I have focused on designing and delivering courses that are relevant, engaging, and connected to the broader arts and cultural sector. I’ve learned a lot from my students and colleagues, and I’m constantly finding new ways to make my teaching more inclusive and meaningful while integrating real-world applications and management strategies into the curriculum. This period has been one of significant professional growth. I continue to deepen my commitment to reflective teaching and expansion of equity-guided leadership models in the arts, culture, and heritage ecosystems.

Department Spotlight Of Fields and Feelings

A groundbreaking interdisciplinary initiative tackles two of today’s most pressing challenges: sustainable agriculture and mental health pearheaded by Dr. Samuel Mugo, department of Physical Sciences, and Dr. Mohammed Elmorsy, Department of Computer Science, a cross-disciplinary, collaborative venture is developing two cutting-edge sensor technologies — Agrilo and Zenro — that could soon transform farming and healthcare practices in Canada and around the world. Smart Farming, Simplified The first product, Agrilo, is designed to make soil analysis more accessible and cost-effective for farmers. Traditionally, assessing soil nutrition involves lab testing, which can be expensive and time-consuming. In fact, according to the team, only 20–30% of farmers currently rely on lab-based data for fertilization, with the rest using educated guesswork that can lead to over-fertilization and environmental harm. Agrilo changes this. “It’s a colorimetric sensor—a farmer collects a soil or water sample, places it on a chemically-treated strip, and uses their phone’s camera and our app to read the results,” Elmorsy explains. “AI then analyzes the image, maps the nutrition levels, and offers fertilization recommendations. It’s that simple, and all for $5 to $15.” Currently in the validation phase, Agrilo will be distributed to farmers in Alberta and other countries for testing this summer. “We’re aiming to complete validation and release it to the market this summer,” Elmorsy says. Real-Time Mental Health Monitoring The second innovation, Zenro, targets an entirely different but equally urgent issue: mental health monitoring. Using salivary biosensors, Zenro can detect biomarkers such as cortisol and adrenaline—key indicators of stress and anxiety—in real time. Zenro makes it possible to monitor mental health with a quick saliva test, all with a wearable or portable device. “This allows people to track their stress levels on a daily or even hourly basis,” Elmorsy says.

The revolutionary Zenro Sensor

“If levels are high, the app offers real-time recommendations based on medical literature, such as mindful walking, sleep regulation, or music therapy. In more serious cases, it recommends seeing a professional.” Zenro is now entering its own validation phase with the potential to enter the market by early fall. A Model of Student-Led Innovation What makes these projects even more impressive is their foundation in student work. With more than 20 students involved across computer science, physical sciences, design and marketing, the initiative serves as a living example of the power of experiential learning and cross-departmental cooperation. Students participate through a mix of capstone projects, volunteer efforts, and paid research roles funded through grants from MacEwan’s Office of Research Services, Alberta Innovates Summer Research Studentship and NSERC-DG. “The ORS office has been incredible in helping us get the funding we need to hire and support our students,” Elmorsy says. Looking Ahead In many ways, these projects represent more than just technological innovation — they showcase the impact of collaborative, student-powered research. “We’re incredibly proud that this was all created at MacEwan,” Elmorsy says. “This is what happens when you empower students and departments to work together.”

Featured Faculty Worth 1,000 Words

Dr. Jenanne Ferguson and student Johannah Ko embarked on a vibrant, interdisciplinary collaboration that’s transforming how students engage with complex ideas in linguistics.

he partnership between Dr. Jenanne Ferguson, in the Department of Anthropology, and Johannah Ko, a recent graduate of the Design Program, began in fall 2022, when Ko took Introduction to Linguistic Anthropology. In the class, she recognized deep parallels between design thinking and semiotics—a shared concern in both fields. Equipped with training in visual methodologies, Ko saw an opportunity: Could design help make abstract anthropological concepts more accessible and engaging? When she approached Ferguson with the idea, the response was immediate and enthusiastic. Over multiple semesters, the duo collaborated through independent studies and course-based projects. Together, they developed visual tools—mind maps, conceptual diagrams, and multimedia prompts—that brought clarity to dense theoretical material like practice theory and language ideologies.

Johannah Ko

“The larger bodies of water that snake out into streams which cross, overlap, and merge represent modality, the ever-shifting and entangled channels of linguistic practice. Then we have multifunctionality; using language often serves multiple purposes. That’s what the many different colours within the stream represent,” explains Ko.

These materials became integral to Ferguson’s teaching, particularly in review sessions, where students reported feeling more confident and connected to the course content. “It reminded me that there are actually a lot of really easy ways to incorporate more elements that might appeal to different learning styles,” explains Ferguson. “One concise image can do just as much as a really long story or explanation.” For Ko, the experience has opened doors into future work at the intersection of design, language, and pedagogy. Their message to other faculty? Be open. “Just because students are undergraduates doesn’t mean they can’t be real partners in pedagogy,” says Ferguson.

Recognition Leading the School

Aleah McCorry earns top honours for her dedication to ethical animal care he Canadian Council on Animal Care (CCAC) has named Aleah McCorry, Animal Care Coordinator, as the 2025 recipient of its prestigious Emerging Leader Award. The award celebrates early-career professionals in ethical animal care who have demonstrated exceptional leadership and impact in their field. For McCorry, this recognition marks a significant milestone in a decade-long career focused on zebrafish welfare, ethical practices, and institutional development. “The award feels like encouragement,” McCorry says. “It’s saying, ‘You're on the right path—you're doing a good job. Keep going.’” McCorry’s journey into aquatic animal care began at the University of Alberta, before she joined MacEwan in 2015. Here, she took charge of a modest zebrafish setup tucked into a converted office space and worked with a team to transform it into a thriving research hub. Today, MacEwan boasts a centralized zebrafish facility housing nearly 2,000 fish—a testament to the her vision and persistence. Instrumental in designing and launching the new aquatic research lab, McCorry’s work is guided by the principles of the Three Rs—Replacement, Reduction, and Refinement of animal use in science. Her efforts to create a closed breeding colony have signifcantly improved research quality by ensuring better control over the health and origin of the animals.

shape national standards for animal care. She also holds a Registered Laboratory Animal Technician designation through the Canadian Association for Laboratory Animal Science (CALAS)—an achievement she describes as “like a degree in itself.” In addition to managing the fish colony, McCorry mentors student researchers and provides training to ensure consistency and ethical practice across MacEwan’s programs. “Everyone starts with the same information,” she says. “That consistency really helps standardize the work.” McCorry credits her colleagues, including Rebecca Mitchell who nominated her for the award, and MacEwan’s Office of Research Services for creating an environment where her work could thrive. “Being part of a central operating office gave me the platform to really build something meaningful,” she says. The CCAC Emerging Leader Award affirms what MacEwan already knows: McCorry is setting a new standard for animal care in Canadian research.

Beyond the lab, McCorry actively participates in CCAC committees and working groups, helping to
