The annual event recognizes the recipients of the Faculty Excellence Awards, highlighting excellence in scholarly teaching, service and scholarship. Eight awards were presented across three categories: Teaching and Learning Awards, Research Recognition Awards and the Distinguished Faculty Awards the highest form of faculty recognition at Mount Royal. This year, nearly sixty nominations were submitted, making for a challenging selection process by the adjudication committees.
"Our faculty set Mount Royal apart in providing an exemplary undergraduate education," said Dr. Chad London, provost and vice-president, academic. "These award recipients point to the top-notch teaching and scholarship taking place across Mount Royal University every day."
From developing transformative learning experiences through innovative pedagogies and creative curriculum design to establishing student-centred research programs and advancing indigenization and decolonization, this year's Faculty Excellence Award recipients have made a considerable positive impact at Mount Royal and throughout local communities and beyond.
