School of Engineering faculty recognized for teaching

Carolyn Labun, senior instructor in the School of Engineering, was honoured last Thursday with this year’s Teaching Excellence and Innovation Award at UBC’s Okanagan campus.

Laubin was applauded for being a passionate and dedicated teacher who uses novel assignments and projects to challenge students, and for her devotion to building a learning community.

The awards for Teaching Excellence and Innovation will be formally presented to the three winners at UBC’s Okanagan convocation ceremonies in June. The awards include cash prizes of $3,000 (to be shared by co-recipients).

The recipients will join UBC’s Okanagan Academy of Teaching Excellence and participate in the selection process for future teaching award nominees.
