Sample message
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 16 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://cvent.me/kRGLxo?RefId=reunion-ambassador

Reunion Ambassadors: Then & Now
John Suk (BSc ’73)
What are you up to now?
I am retired from long career in Pharmaceuticals including founding CEO of Altana Pharma in Canada.
I was on several boards including 11 years on Brock University’s Board of Trustees and three years as Chair.
Brock Highlights
I was a TA for first year Biology 190 and I worked in Dr. Nwagwu’s Lab for one summer (1972) studying transfer RNA. In May of 1971, we went to Tobago led by Cam Lewis. We stayed at Speyside and scuba dived every one of 14 days.

Songs that bring me back
The Doors
Elton John
Neil Young
The Rolling Stones
Dorothy Griffiths (BA ’73)
What are you up to now?
I am now a Professor Emerita from Brock. My husband and I are enjoying travelling, our home and pursuing a variety of arts and creative ventures.
Brock Highlights
The highlights of my experience with Brock are centered around the close-knit relationships developed with the dedicated faculty and the blending of education with practice, both as a teaching assistant and through applied opportunities for employment. I am certain that this early beginning set the stage for the rest of my professional life.
Favourite Professors
Although many of my professors at Brock influenced me in many different ways, Dr. Nancy Johnston always stood out as my role model. She taught not only about theory but through practice, bringing her incredible knowledge as a clinician into the classroom and engaging those of us who were willing to be part of community experiences through class projects or summer employment. She taught us about being a true part of the community in our work and exemplified dedication to all those she helped. She remained my mentor until she died only a few years ago.
