Becoming a Golden Hawk means more than just cheering on our (really good) varsity teams – it means being a student who cares about your community, who works hard in the classroom, and who takes advantage of all the learning opportunities that can happen outside the classroom, too.

Professor Dawe joined the Faculty of Science at Wilfrid Laurier University in the Chemistry and Biochemistry department in July 2013. She holds a Master's of Science from the University of Utah (2004), and both a Bachelor's degree in Intermediate and Secondary Education (2004), and a PhD in Chemistry (2008), from Memorial University of Newfoundland.
We are interested in working towards answers to the following questions:
Coordination Chemistry
- How can we contribute to improved molecular design for (1) sensing environmental (oxo-)anions, and (2) producing magnetic molecules?
- How can we ‘turn on’ and ‘turn off’ molecular magnetic properties?
Chemistry Education
- How can learning outcome mapping be used to plan, monitor and evaluate student success?
- 2016: Faculty of Science Award for Teaching Excellence.
- 2016: CFI-JELF for "Green Methods for the Preparation of New Materials" (with Ken Maly).
- 2015-2017: NSERC Discovery Development Grant for "Highly porous architectures through designed rational self-assembly."
- Fall 2014: Laurier Residence Academic Partner Award.
