2019-2020 TEACHING EXCELLENCE AWARDS
We had an exceptional response from students for this year’s call for nominations for the Teaching Excellence Awards. Students wrote of faculty who inspired and transformed their learning, provided a supportive and caring learning environment, and who changed the way they think about the world. There were 482 total student nominations of faculty (193 unique nominations) for the Teaching Excellence Awards. This is an increase of over 200 nominations from last year. This represents 28.3% of all faculty at Capilano University who were nominated as excellent instructors by students. We are incredibly fortunate to have so many inspiring and dedicated instructors at Capilano.
