HONOURING CONTRIBUTIONS OF FOUR FACULTY MEMBERS
The Celebration of Faculty event culminated in the tribute to four faculty members who are retiring from OCAD U.
Pictured above, from left to right: Professor Caroline Langill, Associate Professor Bentley Jarvis, Provost Dr. Sandra Gabriele and President Ana Serrano.
Assistant Professor Bentley Jarvis, Faculty of Art
Former Vice-President, Academic and Provost and Professor Caroline Langill gave a moving tribute to Jarvis, who has taught Sonic Arts and Electroacoustics at OCAD U since 1983 and has been composing and performing electroacoustic music since 1975. In 2004, he began teaching computer modelling and animation at the University. He is currently a member of the University’s Senate, representing faculty from the Faculty of Art.
Last May, Jarvis was acknowledged for 40 years of service during which time he taught the courses, Form and Time, Hybrid Media Lab, Research Studios, Time-based Media and the Integrated Media (INTM) thesis. Langill remembers students specifically seeking out Jarvis for his specialty courses in electroacoustics and sonic arts.
“Sometimes we can forget how important sound is to a production. OCAD U students were so fortunate to have a such an accomplished composer and artist as a teacher and mentor,” recalled Langill.
“Like so many of us at OCAD U, Bentley has long been devoted to artist-run culture. He was a board member of the Canadian League of Composers, served as president of the renowned Forest City Gallery in London and was vice-president of the Canadian Electroacoustic Community,” said Langill. He is currently a faculty member on the University’s Senate, representing the Faculty of Art.
His work, which integrates electroacoustic music with visual elements such as dance, video projection, or sculpture, has been exhibited for the International Society of Contemporary Music, the First International Computer Music Convention in New York, Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the Music Gallery, New Adventures in Sound Art and the Ontario Science Centre in Toronto, the Canadian Pavilion at the World’s Fair in Vancouver and the Holland Festival, among others.
“A survey of his eclectic compositions is like moving through a chronology of the history of sound art,” said Langill, citing a few of his works, including Lobelia Cardinals from 1980 that was a collaborative light sculpture with synthesizers, percussion, slides and electronic tape; seven electronic works for R. Murray Schafer’s Ra from 1983; and the CD, Is Winter Really Over for ISEA1995.
Pictured above, from left to right: Professor Simone Jones, Associate Professor Emerit Judith Doyle, President Ana Serrano and Provost Dr. Sandra Gabriele.
Associate Professor Judith Doyle, Faculty of Art
Professor Simone Jones gave a heartfelt tribute to her colleague, collaborator and friend who she has known since she first joined OCAD U in 2003 and co-taught a new course in the Integrated Media program, Hybrid Media.
“Since those early days, Judith and I have co-taught Hybrid Media for many years and the last time was in the winter 2025 term. You could say we were “old hands” at that point but I can assure you that what kept me interested in co-teaching with Judith was her endless ability to stay relevant and refusal to “dial-it-in.” Judith approaches everything she does with passion, intelligence and rigour. It was no accident that she was the recipient of OCAD U’s Award for Distinguished Research, Scholarship and Creative Activity in 2012,” said Jones.
In addition to her teaching, Doyle has chaired the Integrated Media program, was chair of First-Year in the Faculty of Art and led the design of the course, Form and Time, launched in the fall of 2020 during COVID and taught online. She has regularly supervised students in the Interdisciplinary Master’s in Art, Media and Design and Digital Futures graduate programs.
“I want to emphasize Judith’s kindness and sense of humour,” said Jones. “She deeply cares about students. She is their advocate and she truly delights in their successes.”
Following the presentation of a gift to Doyle, she received a certificate from Provost Dr. Gabriele to acknowledge her new designation of Associate Professor Emerit.
Pictured above, from left to right: Associate Professor Nicole Collins, Associate Professor Emerita Laura Millard, President Ana Serrano and Provost Dr. Sandra Gabriele.
Associate Professor Laura Millard, Faculty of Art
Associate Professor Nicole Collins also made a wonderful and warm tribute to Millard, a visual artist, writer and educator whose art practice combines drawing, painting and photography. Her work is concerned with contemporary representations of the landscape that reflect precarious and unstable environments impacted by climate change, and the hubris of our sense of permanence there.
An important aspect of Millard’s work is her participation in artists’ residencies, which include the Arctic Circle Residency in Svalbard, the Klondike Institute of Arts and Culture in Dawson City, Yukon, the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, NSCAD University, Brucebo Studio in Gotland, Sweden and Red Gate in Beijing, China.
She has exhibited in artist-run, commercial and public galleries across Canada and internationally, including the Art Gallery of Ontario, Art Gallery of Windsor, Whyte Museum, in Banff, Where Where Exhibition Space in Beijing, Doris McCarthy Gallery at the University of Toronto, Glenbow Museum Calgary, Sookmyung Women’s University in Korea and St. Lawrence University Art Gallery in New York among others.
She has been a visiting artist and panelist in various university and gallery settings including the Banff Centre for Arts and Creativity, the University of Waterloo, the University of Victoria, the University of Western Ontario, the Mendel Art Gallery and the Art Gallery of Ontario. She is a member of Red Head Artists’ Collective in Toronto.
The recipient of numerous awards, including grants from the Canada Council for the Arts, Ontario Arts Council, and Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Millard has received critical acclaim for her work in publications such as Canadian Art, Border Crossings, C Magazine and Blake Gopnik ‘On Art’.
Millard was not only honoured for her contributions on the occasion of her retirement, but she was recognized for her 30 years of service to OCAD U.
Following the presentation of a gift to Millard, she received a certificate from Provost Dr. Gabriele to acknowledge her new designation of Associate Professor Emerita.
Pictured above, from left to right: Associate Professor Maya Desai, Associate Professor Emeritus Bruce Hinds, Provost Dr. Sandra Gabriele and President Ana Serrano.
Associate Professor Bruce Hinds, Faculty of Design
Associate Professor and Chair of the Environmental Design program Maya Desai shared a poignant tribute to Hinds, who joined OCAD U with an extraordinary breadth of experience, with degrees in psychology, architecture (he is a licensed architect) and fine art, and a professional practice grounded in a deep sense of purpose.
His work has focused on sustainable community structures in the Global South, placing architecture directly in service of human welfare. Projects such as his work with children affected by HIV in the Kilimanjaro region of Tanzania stand out as powerful examples said Desai.
“For many of us, Bruce has really been the cornerstone of the Environmental Design program,” said Desai. Hinds served as chair of Environmental Design from July 1, 2008 to June 30, 2019. “He brings an incredible spirit to this place every single day. He is calm, generous, thoughtful and always with a sense of humour that puts people at ease. He has also continued to bring valuable insights and perspectives, remaining current and involved in an ever-changing field.”
However, Desai said that what has defined Hinds more than anything else in his teaching career has been his relationship with students.
“Bruce is loved by students. This is not a small thing to say. Bruce’s students have always known, without any ambiguity, that their success is what drives them. He shows up for them. He is a calm, steady presence, especially in moments when students feel uncertain or overwhelmed,” she said.
Desai remembers when she joined the Faculty of Design, Hinds was program chair and from her very first year, she felt supported and encouraged. When she stepped into the role of chair after him, she says he made the transition as generous and seamless as possible. He has been a mentor to Desai but also to many new faculty members.
Desai asked her colleagues in the program to share two or three words that they felt best described Hinds. While she received much more than three words (paragraphs and even full reflections), there were common themes that spoke to how people felt about Hinds.
He was described as absolutely loved and foundational to the Environmental Design program. He has provided mentorship, leadership and caring, and has been generous and empathetic, available to offer insights and champion others and help them grow. People noted his incredible spirit and his authenticity as a caring educator who made students feel seen and colleagues feel supported.
Following the presentation of a gift to Hinds, he received a certificate from Provost Dr. Gabriele to acknowledge his designation of Associate Professor Emeritus.
