OCUFA Honours
"'Passionate educator', 'outstanding contributor', and 'a strong
commitment to public service and community outreach' are just some of
the attributes used to describe the recipients of this year's OCUFA
Awards," said Dr. Henry Jacek, President of the Ontario Confederation
of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA) today as he announced the
names of those chosen to receive the 2002 OCUFA Teaching and Academic
Librarianship Awards.
"This year's Award winners are a reflection of the enthusiastic
talent and effective teaching found in university classrooms and
library support services throughout the province's universities" said
Dr. Jacek.
"Each year OCUFA is proud to honour individual faculty members at
Ontario universities who have demonstrated outstanding achievement in
their respective disciplines," said Dr. Jacek. "The Teaching Awards
are presented to professors who inspire and inform through their
teaching, course development, and research. They make a difference
both to their academic discipline, and to the lives of their
students, by offering the best they can professionally. And the
recipient of the Academic Librarianship Award is selected based on
his or her contribution to scholarly achievement in a particular area
of expertise in the academic community."
