Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence



Wilfrid Laurier University has a distinct commitment to teaching and, accordingly, encourages faculty members to strive toward excellence in their instructional responsibilities. Improvements in teaching must constantly be sought so that our students are given as rich and satisfying education experience as possible. At the same time, good teaching must be recognized and rewarded at all levels of the institution. An atmosphere in which excellence in instruction is not only encouraged but also acknowledged in a tangible and visible manner must be created. As one step toward this end, the Wilfrid Laurier University's Faculty Award for Teaching Excellence has been established.
