Each year at UBC a number of outstanding faculty are selected to receive a Killam Award for Excellence in Mentoring.
During this week’s graduation ceremonies Prof. Adlai Fisher, Sauder School of Business, will receive the 2011 mid-career award while the 2011 senior award is given jointly to Prof. Michael Fryzuk, Dept. of Chemistry and Prof. Brian McIlroy, Dept. of Film and Theatre. These three outstanding graduate student mentors will receive their awards along with the reading of a citation regarding their many contributions to the university and the lives of graduate students.
The Killam Awards for Excellence in Mentoring are based on sustained mentorship of numerous graduate students over many years. Mentoring may be related to, but is distinct from, classroom teaching.
