Winner of a Faculty Graduate Mentor Award!
“The winners of this year’s awards were announced on Feb. 23, 2016 at a presentation ceremony. Sponsored by the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs and the Office of the Vice-President (Research and International), these awards recognize faculty who render exceptional service to graduate students as supervisors and research mentors. The effect of such faculty on the careers of students is frequently transformational”.
Patricia Ballamingie (Geography and Environmental Studies)
• “Dr. Ballamingie was an exceptional academic mentor. I have never worked with someone so dedicated to helping others in their studies, research and writing.”
• “Through her shining example of discipline, rigour and hard work, her positive approach and her genuine caring about each of us – not just as students but as multi-faceted human beings – Trish is uniquely able to motivate and inspire her students.”
• “The only “downside” to having Trish as a supervisor is her popularity among fellow graduate students! She supervises so many students, and is so heavily involved in her department, that it’s impressive she can still manage to find the time to do her own research and publish.”
