New A&S dean relishes ‘life in a university’

College leadership

By | Kathy Hovis , A&S Communications

Peter John Loewen grew up in a house surrounded by books, where politics was the principal topic of conversation around the dinner table. Though his parents hadn’t gone to college, they let him know throughout his childhood that they expected him to.

Loewen didn’t just go to college: he found “a life in the university.” He said his experience as an undergraduate at Mount Allison University in Sackville, New Brunswick “opened my eyes to the world.” Today he is the new Harold Tanner Dean of the College of Arts & Sciences.

As the leader of Cornell University’s largest college, Loewen will be part of opening the eyes of thousands of students to their possibilities. The chance to do that – while supporting A&S faculty in their research and showcasing the value of a liberal arts education — is what brought him to Cornell.

“The university has a special mission of helping students to discover their future selves, to draw a picture of who they could be, and then helping them to get there,” he said. “And at this moment, when there’s growing skepticism about the public relevance and value of universities, we need to be ready to articulate the outsized impact that universities like Cornell have to change lives and change the world.”

A Canadian education

Growing up in North Bay, Ontario, Loewen was a “keen” and “bookish” student whose dad worked in construction management; his mom worked in the insurance industry before becoming a minister in the Church of England. Once Loewen arrived at Mount Allison, “I really took to all aspects of the university, wrote for the school paper, had a radio show, was in student government,” he said. “I felt that knowing my professors as people was important, that being involved in the community around the university was important, and it was thrilling.”

He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science (with a minor in economics) in 2002 and thought about going to law school or into business when he graduated, but eventually decided to follow the advice of a professor and go to grad school in the city where he wanted to live, Montreal, at the Université de Montréal.

He joined a lab focused on electoral and voting behavior. “That was my exposure to more systematic, quantitative political science that was survey based,” he said, which allowed him to pick up skills in econometrics and cemented his plans to become a professor. “I enjoyed that kind of puzzle-solving aspect of social science.”

He received his doctoral degree in 2008, moved on to postdoctoral fellowships at the University of British Columbia and the University of California, San Diego and joined the University of Toronto in 2010.

His research and teaching interests include the future of democratic societies and the politics of technological change. He is interested in how politicians can make better decisions, in how citizens can make better choices, and how governments can address the disruption of technology and harness its opportunities. He has also studied the political and social contexts and consequences of COVID-19.

At Toronto, he saw the opportunity to be involved in leadership and public engagement as well as research. He moved up through various positions at the university, eventually being named the Robert Vipond Distinguished Professor in Democracy in the Department of Political Science. He directed the Policy, Elections and Representation Lab (PEARL) and was associate director of the Schwartz Reisman Institute for Technology and Society. His most recent post was director of the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

On the public engagement front, Loewen was a member of a three-person nonpartisan commission redrawing federal electoral boundaries in the province of Ontario; he served as an expert on cases surrounding the conduct of elections in Canada; and he also chaired a group that advises Canada on which parties to include in federal debates.

Supporting A&S faculty and students

At Cornell, he’s excited about the opportunity to recruit and retain the stellar faculty members who are part of the A&S community and also support faculty in their research. 

“The more people you work with, the more people you can help,” Loewen said. “Part of the magic of this job is that I always enjoy getting a paper published. I just had a paper come out this week and I’m so excited about it. But if you can play a little role in helping a colleague do this, then you can multiply that thrill by dozens or hundreds. That’s tremendously fulfilling.”

Loewen’s new paper, “From Gender Gap to Gender Gaps: Bringing Nonbinary People into Political Behavior Research,” uses data from 2019 and 2021 Canadian Election Studies to explore whether nonbinary people differ from men and women in their party identification and voting behavior.

At Toronto, he also enjoyed talking with students about their journeys and plans to do that here. “They’ve got an array of things they’re interested in around campus and a different course that is their favorite. By talking with them, you can learn about their incredible diversity of experiences,” he said.

During his first few months, Loewen will be meeting with chairs of the College’s departments to learn about their strengths and their challenges. “This is a very well-governed and well-run university, so I step into the role with strong senior associate deans and a thoroughly professional structure of people around me,” he said.

Because the world is becoming more multi-disciplinary, and its problems multi-dimensional, the College is in a privileged position to bring knowledge to bear to solve those problems and make discoveries, he said.

As Loewen settles in, his family is also getting used to Ithaca. His wife, Yvette, is joining Cornell’s alumni affairs and development team as a major gifts officer and his kids, Wolfgang, 9 and Dagny, 5, are exploring the area’s outdoor spaces and getting ready to start school in Ithaca.

“We’re moving to a great town with tons of resources, a bit removed from reality, but it’s a special place,” he said with a smile. “And for kids, it’s a remarkable privilege to grow up around a university.”

One burning question remains: will Loewen continue to be a fan of Canadian hockey or change his allegiance to an American team?

“I’ve been a Pittsburgh Penguins fan since I was 5 years old,” he said with a laugh. “They were terrible when I was 5, but great by the time I was 12, and when they won their first Stanley Cup against the Minnesota North Stars, I was a pretty happy guy. I’m a Big Red hockey fan now”

APA Style for beginners

Then check out some frequently asked questions:

What is APA Style?

Why use apa style in high school, how do i get started with apa style, what apa style products are available, your help wanted.

APA Style is the most common writing style used in college and career. Its purpose is to promote excellence in communication by helping writers create clear, precise, and inclusive sentences with a straightforward scholarly tone. It addresses areas of writing such as how to

• format a paper so it looks professional;
• credit other people’s words and ideas via citations and references to avoid plagiarism; and
• describe other people with dignity and respect using inclusive, bias-free language.

APA Style is primarily used in the behavioral sciences, which are subjects related to people, such as psychology, education, and nursing. It is also used by students in business, engineering, communications, and other classes. Students use it to write academic essays and research papers in high school and college, and professionals use it to conduct, report, and publish scientific research .

High school students need to learn how to write concisely, precisely, and inclusively so that they are best prepared for college and career. Here are some of the reasons educators have chosen APA Style:

• APA Style is the style of choice for the AP Capstone program, the fastest growing AP course, which requires students to conduct and report independent research.
• APA Style helps students craft written responses on standardized tests such as the SAT and ACT because it teaches students to use a direct and professional tone while avoiding redundancy and flowery language.
• Most college students choose majors that require APA Style or allow APA Style as an option. It can be overwhelming to learn APA Style all at once during the first years of college; starting APA Style instruction in high school sets students up for success.

High school students may also be interested in the TOPSS Competition for High School Psychology Students , an annual competition from the APA Teachers of Psychology in Secondary Schools for high school students to create a short video demonstrating how a psychological topic has the potential to benefit their school and/or local community and improve people’s lives.

Most people are first introduced to APA Style by reading works written in APA Style. The following guides will help with that:

Many people also write research papers or academic essays in APA Style. The following resources will help with that:

Instructors will also benefit from using the following APA Style resources:

In addition to all the free resources on this website, APA publishes several products that provide comprehensive information about APA Style:

At Brookhaven National Lab’s Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), physicists from around the world study what the universe may have looked like moments after its creation, from the smallest subatomic particles to the largest stars.

Stony Brook University, in collaboration with Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL), Cornell University and FERMI National Accelerator Laboratory, has established the Ernest Courant Traineeship in Accelerator Science & Engineering. The program is supported by a $2.9 million, five-year grant from the High Energy Office of the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE).

The new program is named after renowned accelerator physicist Ernest Courant who, as a long-time physicist at BNL, laid the foundation of modern accelerator science. Courant also taught for 20 years as an adjunct professor at Stony Brook. The traineeship is offered through the Center for Accelerator Physics and Education (CASE).

CASE is a joint center between BNL and Stony Brook, with three main goals of training scientists and engineers with the aim of advancing the field of accelerator science, developing a unique educational program that will provide broad access to research accelerators, and expanding interdisciplinary research and education programs utilizing accelerators.

CASE focuses on four specific areas identified by the DOE as “mission critical workforce needs in accelerator science and engineering”: physics of large accelerators and systems engineering; superconducting radiofrequency accelerator physics and engineering; radiofrequency power system engineering; and cryogenic systems engineering, especially liquid helium systems.

Vladimir Litvinenko, professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy and senior scientist at BNL, said the DOE is specifically looking to groom the next generation of scientists in those areas because “that’s where they have a shortage of skilled labor, and they really want us to help address that.”

Research to understand and manipulate matter and energy using accelerators has led to the creation and commercial production of modern electronics and has had numerous applications in areas like radiation treatments for cancer, food safety, oil discovery, and searching for weapons of mass destruction. The understanding that accelerator science and technology has provided of matter and energy is also critical in space exploration and exploitation in terms of creating instrumentation, understanding space radiation, and creating new propulsion systems.

The graduate-level curriculum consists of courses and practical training at accelerator facilities of the collaborating institutions, and thesis requirements. Each participant has a supervisor guide their training.

Students in the traineeship program who complete four courses of the core program — 12 or more credits in accelerator science and engineering — and earn a B+ or higher in each course will be issued a certificate in Accelerator Science and Engineering with specializations including the four areas listed above.

The traineeship is available to all students. Participants who are U.S. citizens or permanent U.S. residents are eligible for funding provided by the DOE grant. The expectation is that the traineeship can be completed in two years and students can pursue their research interest beyond the program.

Litvinenko said the program will help students get a job involving accelerators, and appeals to a wide range of students from across the sciences.

“One of my students who was interested in accelerators just really loved mechanical things,” said Litvinenko. “She was working in a garage before she came here. Other students might be interested in a more experimental hands-on experience, and others might be attracted to the diversity of the field, because accelerator science involve a broad range of sciences. It incorporates electrodynamics and mechanics, but there’s also quantum materials as well as complex systems like cryogenics.”

“Participating in the CASE Accelerator School has been a great experience,” said Pietro Iapozzuto, a physics researcher at Stony Brook whose career dream has been to work in particle physics. “The classes teach you practical skills that will be needed to work in top government research facilities. The program has given me the opportunity to learn theoretical, computational, and experimental skills in order to become a proficient accelerator physicist. It also prepared me to participate in internship opportunities at the CERN laboratory and Brookhaven.”

“I’m an electrical engineer but I have had the pleasure of working with physicists in recent years,” said Thomas Robertazzi, professor and IEEE Fellow, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. “What I have come to realize is if our society is ever to have the type of the appealing technologies we see in shows like Star Trek, it will take physicists like the ones in the traineeship program to discover and invent them.”

Litvinenko said the current talent shortage is attributed to the attraction of engineers to the booming mobile device field.

“So many engineers today are working on iPhones and other mobile devices,” he said. “But in accelerators we use really high-power systems, which is a very different scale and design. It’s older technology that’s no longer taught in regular universities, but still it’s extremely important. This is one of the things which we hope to offer next year to students.”

Irina Petrushina ‘19, a research assistant professor who co-teaches a course on RF superconductivity for accelerators within the traineeship program, said the traineeship offers students a unique opportunity to explore the world of accelerator physics and engineering.

“One can get a taste of accelerator physics and learn the basic concepts of accelerator operation in Fundamentals of Accelerator Physics, and more experienced students can learn about specific topics of interest such as cryogenic systems or computational aspects,” she said. “In addition to the direct interaction with the world-renowned experts, the students get to perform some hands-on experiments using one of the accelerators at BNL. The proximity and close collaboration between Stony Brook and BNL present an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in the day-to-day life of an accelerator scientist.”

Litvinenko said there is also a very practical aspect to the program: “Many of our students are landing jobs before graduation. I think this is not always true about academia and graduates and this may be reason why this certificate and the very real possibility of finding a good job is an additional attraction. In the end, students want to have a successful career.”
