Telfer School of Management

The Telfer School of Management at the University of Ottawa was initially founded in 1969 as the 'Faculty of Management Science' when the Arts Faculty's Department of Commerce, the Public Administration Department of the Faculty of Social Sciences, and the School of Hospital Administration joined to create a new academic unit.The first dean, Joseph Debanné, often profiled as an entrepreneur, oversaw the integration of these academic units. In 1970, he added the Department of Operational Research and Planning to the School of Management.

During the 1970s, John Carson, formerly president of the Public Service Commission, the largest employer in Canada, reorganized the School of Management and gave it a new direction. It was during his tenure that the Faculty of Management adopted the name Faculty of Administration. Several structural changes were also made, such as abolishing departments in favor of programs, appointing assistant deans to oversee undergraduate and graduate programs and replacing the School of Hospital Administration with the Health Administration Program (MHA).

By 1980, enrolment had grown to more than 3,000 — with more than 400 students registered in graduate programs — and the number of full-time School of Management member grew to more than sixty. During that year, Gilles Paquet became Dean. In 1984, further growth led to the creation of undergraduate co-operative programs and new graduate courses, as well as the move to the School of Management's current home in Vanier Hall.

David Zussman was appointed Dean in 1988. He established an advisory board made up of leaders from business and government to provide advice and guidance about the kind of educational initiatives essential for responding to a rapidly changing environment. In 1992, Dean Zussman launched the Executive MBA program and the International MBA program.

During the same year, Jean-Louis Malouin became Dean. Under his leadership, the School of Management began to concentrate on the development of international management and business, which today, still remains a key focus at the School. This has spawned an extensive network of international contacts, most notably through institutional co-operation, student and staff exchanges, joint-venture projects, and consulting assignments. In 1994, the School of Management launched an Executive MBA in Hong Kong similar to the North American model but adapted to the local culture and conditions. Each year, professors from the School of Management go to Hong Kong to help teach this program.

Linked to the International MBA program are the International Exchange programs, which give business students a more global orientation by allowing them to complete their academic and professional endeavours in foreign business schools. Students thus discover other countries, new cultures and different customs. Still, despite its international focus, the School of Management pursues its commitment to excel in research and teaching and to serves as a valuable member of the business and government communities.

As Dean Malouin said: "Our mission is to advance management science practice in the public and private sectors by teaching not only high-quality management but also social and ethical values. We do so in both official languages, while promoting the highest possible standards of integrity, an international perspective and thorough, in-depth research."

In the year 2000, University of Ottawa welcomed a new Dean, Micheál J. Kelly, to the School of Management. It is during his second year in tenure that the Faculty of Administration adopted its current name, the School of Management.

May 8, 2007 the School of Management was renamed the Telfer School of Management through a $25 million naming gift by Ian Telfer, Chairman of Goldcorp Inc. and almunus of the MBA program.

Grey Junior School HIstory

On 4 June 1856 Sir George Grey, Governor of the Cape Colony, gave his approval to an Act of Parliament to found the Grey Institute. The building commenced on the top of the Donkin and the Grey Institute opened its doors to 40 pupils in 1859. From this humble beginning the school flourished over the years, and with the rapid expansion of Port Elizabeth in the early 1900’s the Institute was becoming more and more cramped. The move to the present site along Cape Road took place in 1915. Many criticised the site for being too far out of town!

The school had grown to 683 boys by 1930, resulting in a shortage of accommodation. The completion of the Junior School in 1930 relieved the situation, and 26 July saw the opening of the school with Mr F G Draycott as the first headmaster. Situated on the same site as the Senior School, the Junior School soon developed an identity of its own and became an autonomous institution with its own committee and staff.

Under the leadership of its past headmasters, Messrs S F Edwards (1946 – 1966), R W Jardine (1967 – 1972), R C Davies (1972 – 1980), T E Griffiths (1981 – 1997) and its present headmaster, Mr L M Pearson, Grey Junior has flourished both in the quantity and quality of its facilities. The Way Hall accommodates its assemblies and many school functions, while the music block, art room, two computer rooms and the Terry Griffiths Media Centre all offer specialist services to our boys. The Martin, Osborn and Pautz Fields, the swimming pool, as well as the access boys have to cricket nets, tennis courts, hockey fields, hockey astroturf and squash courts, ensure that their physical development is well-catered for.

After re-locating a number of times, the Grey Junior Hostel has finally settled into Warring Lodge in King George’s Road, where it is home to some 35 boarders.

Four houses operate within the school, namely Draycott House (yellow), School House (red), Edwards House (purple) and Faure House (green). Inter-house competition is fierce, which helps to maintain the high standards of academic, sporting and cultural excellence which have become a hallmark of the school. This balanced development of body, mind and spirit is also encapsulated in the school motto – TRIA JUNCTA IN UNO – meaning three joined in one.

The Grey Schools celebrate their 150th anniversary in 2006, and Grey Junior celebrated its 75th anniversary as a separate school in 2005. We look back on the outstanding contribution made by many parents, staff and boys and look forward to the exciting challenges in the future.

Messengers

Untitled

Messengers is the sophomore full length album by metalcore band August Burns Red.

August Burns Red quoted on their myspace blog on 3/16/07:

"As many of you probably know, we are now done tracking our new record "Messengers." After about a month of a pretty intensive work schedule we are proud to say we're done (at least with our part) of the record. Tue Madsen, our producer, has gone home to Denmark to work on the mixing and mastering of the songs. We ended up recording 13 songs, 1 Christmas song, and a "joke" song that may never get released (but hopefully we'll find a way, hah!)

We have received the first mixes and our very happy to report they sound pretty killer. After a couple small tweaks we'll be able to say the record is completely finished. Very exciting for us..."
