Suzanne Lee Teachers’ Education Bursary
November 15th, 2019
The UBC Faculty of Education extends our gratitude to Suzanne Lee’s family who have generously established an endowment in the memory of (their beloved mother, grandmother, and great grandmother) Suzanne Lee. The Suzanne Lee Teachers’ Education Bursary enables bursaries for women who wish to pursue teacher education. The family received their philanthropic goals from Suzanne Lee who during her lifetime, inspired many people including her daughter Pat Quan.
Raised in a third generation (Chinese) Canadian family with six other siblings, Suzanne was no stranger to discrimination and restrictions in her formative years. From not having an opportunity to attend post-secondary schooling to not being allowed a professional job as well as facing hardships in finding rental accommodation, the list of hindrances in achieving success were never ending. Growing up, she was a tomboy and really loved playing baseball. She was the only girl in the family to take university preparation in high school as she really wanted to be a teacher. But the family diverted their limited funds in that era towards her brothers’ educations, leaving Suzanne’s dream unfulfilled.
After getting married, Suzanne moved to Prince Rupert returning to Vancouver after a few years where she was a home maker until the untimely passing of her husband at the age of forty nine. In charge of raising two children all by herself with no prior job experience nor any formal education, she faced a herculean task to get a job – rejected from even entry level retail positions because of her age. Eventually family friends offered her a clerical position to start. Despite a lack of opportunities, Suzanne had great potential. She was ambitious and progressed into the head position of managing the payroll for the entire company requiring detailed knowledge of multiple union contracts and executive compensation policies. With a commendable aptitude for math and finance, she conservatively invested and was able to retire at the age of 60.
Through this bursary, Suzanne Lee is fulfilling her childhood dream of being a teacher vicariously through the eyes of many future teachers at the Faculty of Education at UBC. The Teacher Education Bursary named in her honour will enable and empower marginalized female students every year to an education. Suzanne’s daughter, Mrs. Pat Quan, emphasizes that if you help a woman, especially a mother, it creates far reaching ripples in the community. This is the incredible story of Suzanne Lee and how she has an impact on society today and will continues to do so through the Suzanne Lee Teacher Education Bursary. Suzanne Lee Teacher’s Education Bursary is offered to female students in need in the UBC Faculty of Education.

The New Great Reads Collection at UBC Education Library: A Call for Book Suggestions
November 14, 2019
Have you checked out the new Great Reads collection at the Education Library? Located on the main level of the library, the Great Reads collection features fiction and non-fiction books for adult and young adult audiences. The purpose of the collection is to support the practice of leisure reading.
In addition to supporting health and wellness in general, reading for pleasure can lead to positive effects on academic performance. In “Why Your Academic Library Needs a Popular Reading Collection Now More Than Ever,” Dewan (2010) argues that reading for pleasure “provides opportunities for the focused and sustained reading that students are doing with less frequency since the advent of the Internet.” (p. 10). According to Rathe and Blankenship (2006), leisure reading can help students see new perspectives, support the comprehension of more difficult texts, and develop critical thinking skills. Reading for pleasure is relaxing, informative, and can open up new understandings of humanity.
Do you have a suggestion for a “great read”? What book has inspired you? Let us know, and we may add it to the collection. Submit your suggestion here: https://ubc.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_7a3BXz2jJmBROXr
Great Reads collections can be found at many of UBC’s libraries. For more information on UBC Library’s Great Reads collections, visit: https://greatreads.library.ubc.ca/
