In June of 1997 Reg Lavergne
received his Bachelor of Music degree from the University of Ottawa, in Ottawa, Ontario
and moved on to receive his Bachelor of Education degree from Queen's University in
Kingston, Ontario in May of 1998. Reg Lavergne grew up in the rural community of Osgoode, Ontario (which is located just south of our nation's capital) and discovered a passion for music early on. With the support of his parents, Jim and Ivy Lavergne, and under the guidance of his elementary music teacher Marilyn Jenkins, and his high school music teacher Pierre Massie, his love of music grew, and he eventually came to the realization that he had to study music at the university. In 1990, he began taking private lessons with University of Ottawa Professor Robert Oades, whose global perspective shaped the direction that he was going to take in his ongoing quest to become a teacher. By the time he had graduated from the University of Ottawa (Ottawa, Ontario) in June of 1997, he knew that he needed to broaden his knowledge of world cultures, and he took this goal with him through his studies at Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario), where he received his Bachelor of Education degree in May of 1998. You will see his attempts to integrate this global perspective into his teaching areas of Music, History, and Special Education in his teaching unit, Musical and Cultural Introduction to Native Society. |

Greg Davidson of
Manotick, Ontario completed the B.Ed. program this past year at Queen's which was
something that he really did enjoy. The placements were very helpful to him. In the years preceding Queen's, Trent University was his home where he studied Mathematics and Physics. The summers of his life were spent managing a community pool in Manotick, running youth programs for a local church or teaching summer school (this summer). Music is something he enjoys, and recently his group recorded a CD of 8 original tunes. In August, he will be married to Lindy Anderson, and in the fall of 1998 he will be at U of T working towards a Masters in Divinity. Graphic design has been a serious work of his for nearly a year. In particular, his love is computer graphics and design. The unit that he compiled is called Graphic Design. |
