Nominate your favourite teacher!


Deadline: Nominations should be submitted electronically to mlsmith@mta.ca by Monday, January 26, 2009

I am delighted to issue the call for nominations for the awards that recognize outstanding teaching and educational leadership at Mount Allison University: The Herbert and Leota Tucker Teaching Award and the J.E.A Crake Teaching Awards. Nominations are invited from any member of the Mount Allison community­faculty, staff, students, or alumni.


The Herbert and Leota Tucker Teaching Award
The Herbert and Leota Tucker Teaching Award, established by Edmund, Harold and William Tucker in memory of their parents, is Mount Allison's highest recognition of teaching excellence.

The Tucker Award is made annually to a tenured or tenure-track faculty member at Mount Allison who has been teaching full-time at the university for at least five years and who, during that time, has demonstrated outstanding teaching, educational leadership, and teaching scholarship.


The J.E.A. Crake Teaching Awards
The Crake Foundation offers a teaching award for each of the Faculties of Arts, Social Sciences, and Science. These awards are intended to recognize and encourage teaching excellence at Mount Allison University. The selection criteria for the Crake include evidence of excellent teaching and contributions to the Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

All teachers who are members of the relevant departments and programs and who have not held a teaching award in the previous five years are eligible for the Crake Award for their Faculty.
