Dónal Gill (Political Science), Angela Rose Lapierre (Biology), Jaya Nilakantan (Computer Science), Gregory Polakoff (Humanities) and Emilie Richer (Mathematics) were honoured on Oct. 14 when they each received a Teaching Excellence Award from Dawson's Director General Diane Gauvin.
They all teach different subjects but what their students have to say about them is quite similar: passionate about their subject, caring, empathetic, committed to their students understanding, and involving students in their learning. Dawson College received nominations and then vetted each teacher with a survey of their recent students.
