The awards committee was impressed with the strength and versatility of the nominations as well as Carleton TAs\u2019 dedication to enhancing student learning. After much deliberation, the following five TAs were selected as this year\u2019s recipients of the award:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dirk Boon (Department of Sociology and Anthropology)<\/li>\n<li>Gabrielle Doiron (Department of Religion)<\/li>\n<li>Sabrina Fernandes (Department of Sociology and Anthropology)<\/li>\n<li>Rowida Mohamed (Department of Chemistry)<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Rafferty (Department of Philosophy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Each will be awarded a framed certificate at a private luncheon on April 20 as well as $250 for their commitment to improving student learning. Dr. Roseann Runte (President), Dr. Peter Ricketts (Provost and Vice-President [Academic]), and Dr. Joy Mighty (Associate Vice-President [Teaching and Learning]) will be among the guests present to celebrate the recipients\u2019 accomplishments.<\/p>\n<p>Because we received so many strong nominations, the committee also wanted to recognize and celebrate five additional TAs through honourable mentions. Each will receive an official letter from Dr. Mighty that recognizes their achievement. The following TAs were selected as honourable mentions for the award:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sadeem Al Attar (Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering)<\/li>\n<li>Jerusa Ali (Department of Law and Legal Studies)<\/li>\n<li>Kirsten Francescone (Department of Sociology and Anthropology)<\/li>\n<li>Ahmed Hassan (Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering)<\/li>\n<li>Matthew Sanderson (Department of Sociology and Anthropology)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Congratulations to all recipients, honourable mentions, and nominees for the 2014-2015 <em>Outstanding Teaching Assistant Awards<\/em>, and thank you to the nearly 400 students, peers, and instructors who took the time to recognize the fine work of Carleton\u2019s TAs!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The EDC is pleased to announce the five outstanding Teaching Assistants (TAs) who have been named recipients of the 2014-2015 Outstanding Teaching Assistant Award.
