Faculty Recognition
The Students' Association Faculty Recognition Awards were established to provide students with an opportunity to show their appreciation to faculty members who, in their opinion, made a significant difference during their stay at Algonquin College.
Every year, nomination forms are distributed through the Students’ Association offices. Students are informed through the Student Forums, on campus advertising and in the Algonquin Times. Students are then given a deadline date to submit their nominations. Once the nominations are compiled and verified for student status, a selection committee of students is established.
This year there were a total of 102 forms submitted to the SA, with 23 faculty members being nominated.
The selection committee was then presented with all of the compiled nomination forms and bases their choices on the faculty members who demonstrated the ability to convey enthusiasm, responsibility in teaching practices, approachability and effective communication skills, going well beyond the call of duty.
The five faculty who were selected this year are as follows:
- Marc Seguin, Accounting Program, Woodroffe Campus
- Philip Tuba, Horticulture Program, Woodroffe Campus
- Bob McCrindle, Game Development Program, Woodroffe Campus
- Donna Winacott, Early Childhood Education Program, Pembroke Campus
- Sandra Marchant, Business Program, Perth Campus
All of the other nominated faculty members will receive a certificate of recognition signed by both the college president and the Students’ Association president.
The Students’ Association also hands out a Chris Warburton Award of Excellence each year. This award is given to a member of the College community who has made an outstanding contribution to student life at Algonquin. This may include a staff, student, or faculty member. The recipient of this year’s award is:
- Robert C. Gillett, President
The awards were presented at a dinner held on Thursday, March 25, 2010 and all of the students who nominated the winning faculty members were invited to attend the event. A student from each program presented the award to their teacher.
