TWO NATIONAL AWARDS, ONE YEAR
Cambrian Professor Recognized for Power Engineering Leadership

For the second time in a year, a professor in Cambrian College's Power Engineering program has earned a national award for his contributions to teaching.

Greg Rickard is the latest recipient of the G. A. Andrews Award from the Institute of Power Engineers. The award is given to a person who has a distinguished record of service as a writer or lecturer, in the planning and development of programs, or in the administration of programs in the field of Power Engineering and Training.

Power Engineering professor Greg Rickard is a recipient of the G.A. Andrews Award for excellence in teaching from the Institute of Power Engineers.

Rickard has been a faculty member in Cambrian's Power Engineering program for more than twenty years. 

"I'm very grateful to be recognized by organizations that play such an important role in our profession," says Rickard. "These awards reflect the strength of the Power Engineering team at Cambrian and our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, industry-relevant education that helps students succeed." 

Last June, Rickard was given the Pan Global Training Systems Education Contribution Award of Excellence from the National Institute of Power Engineers.

"Being recognized twice at the national level in one year is a remarkable achievement," adds Kim Crane, Acting Dean of Cambrian's School of Trades and Engineering Technology. "Greg is a tremendous educator and mentor, and he is a strong example of how Cambrian advances teaching practices to drive academic excellence, a key goal outlined in the College's Strategic Plan."

Cambrian offers three, distinct Power Engineering programs that prepare graduates for careers in power plants, industrial facilities, public utilities, and large institutional environments across Canada.
