Congratulations to the recipients of the 2010 Lesley B. Cormack FASS Teaching Awards, which recognize exemplary teaching in the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences:

• 
• Dr. Lara Campbell, Assistant Professor, Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies
• 
• Dr. Nicky Didicher, Lecturer, Department of English
• 
• Dr. Yue Wang, Associate Professor, Department of Linguistics

The award citations praise these faculty members for their innovative course designs and learner-centred approaches to teaching.

Dr. Mary Lynn Stewart received the 2007 SFU Excellence in Teaching Award.

Stewart is a fair but demanding taskmaster who expects — and brings out — the very best in her students. But she is also renowned as an animated, humorous, impeccably prepared instructor.  “I’ve essentially remained a traditional teacher,” she says. “I lecture and I conduct tutorials. But I’m also very passionate about communicating to students the joy of intellectual life, the way in which it engages your mind and your curiosity.”
