Harding, Kevin

Fellow Senators,

My name is Kevin Harding, and I am a fourth year undergraduate student in the Faculty of Arts and Social

Sciences, majoring in Political Science. I have served with many of you on Senate for the past two years, and

have been re-elected for a third term as a student senator. I am currently standing for election to the Senate

Committee on Undergraduate Studies and the Senate Committee on University Priorities. Additionally, I am

standing for election for the Vice Chair of Senate. I believe strongly in the importance of the Senate, and in the

integral role it plays in the direction of the university. I feel it is important for the Senate to openly and frankly

discuss and debate issues of importance to the academic community at SFU, and for all voices and viewpoints to

feel comfortable in sharing their views and hearing others, so that the proper and fair decision can be made. I

believe that I can be a Vice Chair who would ensure that everyone feels heard and understood at Senate, while

maintaining the order of the meeting, and I think this is vital to collegial university governance.

I believe that my two years of experience on Senate have allowed me to learn how the Senate works and how it

could work better, and I would appreciate your support in my election candidacy for SCUS, SCUP, and the

Vice Chair position. Thank you.

Unsoeld, Thomas

I am an international graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences. At this time, I am working on

my PhD project on the development of the nervous system. In the three and a half years I have spent at SFU, I

have been impressed with the many ways in which students are able to contribute to the decision-making process

at this university. I have served in SCODA over this past term and participated in several hearings as an Alternate

Student member. I strongly believe in the presumption of innocence and think that students accused of academic

dishonesty or misconduct should be able to receive all possible resources to present their case. However, I do

believe that violations of the principles of academic honesty undermine the equality of opportunities for all

students and should therefore be prosecuted appropriately. Having been an active board member, I consider

SCODA to be one of SPU's premiere organizational bodies that ensures this is carried out fairly. I would be

Wroud to serve this body again as an elected Student to be an active advocate on behalf of students' rights.

Williams, Tony

I have been involved in a wide range of administrative duties at the Departmental, Faculty, and University level,

pretty much since I arrived at SFU in 1994. In Biological Sciences I have served on the Scholarships, Space and

Resource, Strategic Planning, Tenure & Promotion, and Undergraduate Curriculum Committees (Chair one

year), and our Course Planning Group. I was Associate Chair of the Department from 1998-2003 and Chair

from 2003-2008 (and as

ex-officio

member of the Graduate Studies Committee and Chair of all Departmental

Faculty and Staff Search Committees). For the last two years I have served on Senate, SCUP and SCUH. I was

also Faculty of Science representative on the SIMS Support Committee, have served on the University Animal

Care Committee, and on Search Committees for Director, UACC and Associate Registrar. In

all

my Committee

work I believe I have contributed significantly - even sometimes vociferously - to key discussions. Throughout I

have maintained a strong research record and an active research lab: I have successfully graduated 5 PhD students

(4 of whom now have Faculty positions) and 15 Masters students, and have published over 140 refereed research

articles and one book (on penguins!) with a second in the works.

Chapman, Glenn

Professor, Engineering Science

Statement for Senate Library Committee

BSc (Eng. Physics) 1972, MSc 1975: Queen's University, Ontario; PhD 1982: McMaster

University, Ontario.

1980-90 research staff member, M.I.T. Lincoln Laboratory: principal researcher developing laser

redundancy techniques for the wafer scale project. Since 1990, School of Engineering Science,

Simon Fraser University working in microfabrication technology, imaging sensors, biomedical

optics and micromachined sensors involving lasers. Author of 33 journal papers, 122 conference

papers, 2 book chapters and 17 patents granted with 9 other applications underway. Member of

the SFU Senate, and Senate Library Committee from 2008, and Library Budget Committee in

2009. Served with the faculty association executive committee since 2003, serving in positions as

Director, Vice president (Sept 2005-2006), President (2006-2007) and past president (2007-2008).

In addition he has been the chief negotiator for SFUFA on the Intellectual Property policy.

The SFU library is a vital tool for faculty and students for both the educational needs, and their

research. My past year on the Senate Library committee has given me a good understanding of

• ?

substantial challenges facing the library is this period of budget constraints and rising library costs.

Also my service on Senate and the Faculty Association Executive has given me considerable

experience in dealing directly with the SFU senior administration. This has lead to a good

understanding of the challenges facing the university, the library and faculty.

Corber, Stephen

Associate Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences

I am interested in being a member of ISEC again. I am very interested in international health and

strongly believe in the education benefits to be gained from student travel and the opportunity to

learn in different universities. The goals of this program are admirable.

In my 2 years serving on ISEC I have been impressed by the commitment and ability of the SFU

staff who coordinate the program.

I have many years experience working for an international agency and I hope that is helpful in

contributing to this committee.

Geiger, Andrea

J.D.,

Ph.D, Assistant Professor, Department of History

• ?

I have had the opportunity to serve on the Senate Committee on Disciplinary Appeals since 2007

and have been Chair of that committee since 2008. My service on SCODA has allowed me to

Page 1 of

draw on my prior experience as a lawyer and a judicial law clerk for judges at both the trial and

appellate court levels in Seattle before embarking on a career in academia. That training provided

me with a unique skill set that I have been pleased to apply on behalf of the University as a

member of SCODA, including the analytical tools with which to fairly evaluate facts and

procedures and uniformly apply University policy. I regard academic dishonesty as a complex

issue which requires fair consideration of both sides' arguments regarding the relevant facts and

the evenhanded but firm application of applicable University policy in the context of each

particular case. I would be pleased to continue to serve as a member of the committee if I can be

of service to the University in this capacity.

Educational Background:

Ph.D., History, University of Washington, 2006 (dissertation defended December 2005:

Loewe, Celeste

I have given considerable amount of time to community service and campus volunteering because

I believe that they can help build a better community - one that touches people on a personal

level. While pursuing my science degree at SFU, I have been actively involved in clubs such as

Club for the Cure, Bioinformatics Network for Students, Toastmaster Burnaby Mountain, SIFE

Page 2 of 5

• ?

SFU, and Student for Mental Wellness to name a few. I am also serving on the

MBB

student

union, the Senate Undergraduate Awards Adjudication Committee, and for the Dean's Office at

the Faculty of Science. In the community, I am a board director for the Canadian Mental Health

Association Richmond Branch Pathway Clubhouse, and a youth project facilitator for Richmond

Youth Service Agency.

SFU has exposed me to many opportunities for personal growth and I would like to take this

chance to give back to the student community by serving on the SUAAC again. Combining my

passion in community involvement, I believe my extensive experience in and knowledge of

working in a committee structure would make me an ideal candidate for this position. Thank you

for considering my nomination.

Nance, Margit

I would herewith like to express my interest in having my name stand for a second ulill term as an

External Member of the Research Ethics Board of Simon Fraser University. My first full term

ends in May of this year. I have also discussed my interest with the current Chair of the REB,

Professor Simon Verdun-Jones.

My relationship with Simon Fraser University has spanned 30 years, 23 of those as Director of the

Public Policy Program in Continuing Studies. It was in this context that I worked very closely

with faculty in developing academic and community conferences and programs based on their

. ?

research. I have therefore had the privilege of coming into contact with a broad range of research

projects, particularly in those areas that involve human subjects, the purview of the Research

Ethics Board's work. In addition to my ongoing work with the media, I am currently working as

Program Advisor to the Education Program of the 2010 Vancouver Olympic and Paralympic

Winter Games.

Researchers at Simon Fraser have always been most prolific and their research very dynamic,

particularly in emergent areas of research. A large volume of this research triggers the need for

research ethics approval and an ongoing need for internal Board policy refinement. As I complete

my first full term on the Board in May, I have become fully familiar with the Tn-Council policies

that govern research funding

Canada and the internal policies of this Research Ethics Board:

Grappling with ever new issues around not only the research itself but important peripheral issues

such as secure data storage, for example, is an ongoing challenge and one that I very much enjoy

working on with my fellow Board members.

I would be most pleased to be considered for a second full term as an External Member of

theResearch Ethics Board of Simon Fraser University. Thank you very much.

Newman, David

MFA, PhD Candidate

David Newman is a PhD student allegedly working on his dissertation in the School of

Communication, but with a penchant for getting distracted and sidetracked into other worthy

activities. Having served one term as the Graduate Student rep. on SCIA, he would be happy to

Page 3 of

continue the service for another term. David has a strong attendance and participation record on

the committee, and is able to bring his experience of living and teaching in Asia to the table. For

the past year, David has also been the Chair of the Communication Graduate Students Caucus.

Percival,Colin

I am running for re-election to SCAR and SPCSAB; if re-elected, this would be my second 2-

year term on SCAR and my third 2-year term on SPCSAB. Over the past 2 years on SCAR and

4 years on SPCSAB, I believe that my attention to detail has made me a valuable member of both

of these committees; I have also learned a great deal over my years on both SCAR and SPCSAB,

which leads me to believe that, if I am re-elected, my experience would make me even more

valuable over the next two years than I have been in the past.

Unsoeld, Thomas

I am an international graduate student in the Department of Biological Sciences. At this time, I

am working on my PhD project on the development of the nervous system. In the three and a

half years I have spent at SFU, I have been impressed with the many ways in which students are

able to contribute to the decision-making process at this university. I have served in SCODA over

this past term and participated in several hearings as an Alternate Student member. I strongly

believe in the presumption of innocence and think that students accused of academic dishonesty

or misconduct should be able to receive all possible resources to present their case. However, I do

believe that violations of the principles of academic honesty undermine the equality of

opportunities for all students and should therefore be prosecuted appropriately. Having been an

active board member, I consider SCODA to be one of SFU's premiere organizational bodies that

ensures this is carried out fairly. I would be proud to serve this body again as an elected Student to

be an active advocate on behalf of students' rights.

Warner, D'Arcy

I have served on SCCS for four years and would like to continue my involvement with this

committee. I believe that my professional life and university experience bring a perspective that

will continue to be useful to this committee. Such experiences include the following:

Williams, Tony

I have been involved in a wide range of administrative duties at the Departmental, Faculty, and

University level, pretty much since I arrived at SFU in 1994. In Biological Sciences I have served

on the Scholarships, Space and Resource, Strategic Planning, Tenure & Promotion, and

Undergraduate Curriculum Committees (Chair one year), and our Course Planning Group. I was

Associate Chair of the Department from 1998-2003 and Chair from 2003-2008 (and as

ex-officio

member of the Graduate Studies Committee and Chair of all Departmental Faculty and Staff

Search Committees). For the last two years I have served on Senate, SCUP and SCUH. I was also

Faculty of Science representative on the SIMS Support Committee, have served on the University

Animal Care Committee, and on Search Committees for Director, UACC and Associate

Registrar. In all my Committee work I believe I have contributed significantly - even sometimes

vociferously - to key discussions. Throughout I have maintained a strong research record and an

active research lab: I have successfully graduated 5 PhD students (4 of whom now have Faculty

positions) and 15 Masters students, and have published over 140 refereed research articles and one

book (on penguins!) with a second in the works.
