Paul Jones

Jones, who played for 91ÑÇÉ« from 1977 to 1981 and is now well known as the voice of the National Basketball Association's Toronto Raptors on FAN 590 radio broadcasts in Toronto, will serve as the play-by-play announcer for the women’s basketball competition. He will be located in the Toronto studio alongside Chantal Vallee. Vallee is the head coach of the Windsor Lancers women’s basketball team, leading the squad to the gold medal at each of the last two Canadian Interuniversity Sport championships.

In his four years with the 91ÑÇÉ« Yeomen, Jones won three provincial titles and was awarded the Kitch McPherson Trophy as most valuable player of the Ontario championship game in 1981. A two-time Ontario University Athletics Association all-star (1980, 1981), he participated in the Canadian Interuniversity Athletics Union national championship tournament four times and won two bronze medals in 1978 and 1979. In 1983, he won a silver medal as a member of the team that represented Canada in the Commonwealth Basketball Tournament in New Zealand.

He graduated from 91ÑÇÉ« in 1980 with a bachelor of science degree in physical education.

]]> David Phipps, director of 91ÑÇɫ’s Office of Research Services, spent part of December in Edinburgh, Brighton and London exploring knowledge exchange and knowledge brokering in the UK, said The Guardian March 9, introducing the first in a series of four articles about knowledge mobilization by Phipps in The Guardian‘s Higher Education Network blog. University knowledge and talent have the potential to contribute to new approaches to wicked problems, but they cannot benefit society if social sciences and humanities scholars limit themselves to traditional academic paradigms of scholarly communication and dissemination, wrote Phipps. Since 2006, 91ÑÇÉ«, Canada, has employed a knowledge-mobilization unit to broker relationships between university research and expertise (both faculty and graduate students) and non-academic partners. .
