Award Recognition

The recipient of the award will receive a $1,000 taxable cash award and a framed certificate. They will also be featured in a Faculty profile online and on social media to highlight their achievement.

Procedures and Selection Committee

The selection committee for the Teaching Excellence Award is chaired by the Associate Dean, Academic. The award selection committee membership will normally consist of three FPGA faculty members who are past recipients of a FPGA Teaching Excellence Award, or a University, provincial or national teaching award. The selection committee will make its recommendation to the Dean.

Please note that since the Office of the Dean sponsors these awards, faculty and professional staff working in the Office of the Dean are not eligible for these awards nor may they provide nominations or letters of support for others.
