I can’t believe it’s been 50 years since I graduated from Brock. To my fellow Badgers: I invite you to join me at our reunion on Saturday, September 21 to celebrate this special milestone. It’ll be a great opportunity to catch up with others and embark on a guided campus tour to see how our campus has evolved over the years and to see what remains the same. We’ll also receive our commemorative gold cameo pins during our reunion celebration.
I hope to see you many of you there. RSVP online: https://loom.ly/7XnOUdo

Reunion Ambassadors: Then & Now

What Impact did brock have on you?
Brock was and always will be “home” to me. I kept returning to it over and over to study and to teach. My initial teacher training happened right here. After working in an elementary school for 10 years and completing my M.Ed., I was offered a full-time position at the Faculty of Education as an instructor. I spent 4 years working with teacher candidates. Then I returned to a work for a Board of Education first as a classroom teacher, then later in administration. My training at Brock helped me to develop the knowledge and skill I would need both in the classroom and in the office. After retiring, I found myself once again working at the Faculty of Education, helping teacher candidates to learn and grow as professionals. That part-time position lasted another 10 years.
On a personal note, I met my late husband, Cameron Ward (class of 1977) through our positions on the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association. His love of learning and enthusiasm for history kept our conversations lively and our vacations memorable. He was not just my husband. He was my best friend.
Brock Highlights
The best part of Brock was the atmosphere, a feeling that you were doing something important (in studying), so that you could leave and put that knowledge, that drive, that inquiry to work.
Favourite Professors and Classes
The history department was full of wonderful people. I especially enjoyed listening to, and learning from Drs. Roberta Styran, Robert Taylor and Alan Arthur. All of the history and political philosophy courses I took were equal parts of enlightenment, challenge and hard work with lots and lots of reading. They taught me to focus on details while looking for the answers to the big questions of the day.
