The Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) is currently accepting nominations for the Cormack Teaching Awards, Dean's Medal Awards, and Employee Achievement Awards. Winners will be recognized at the FASS Fall Reception later this year. 

FASS would not be where it is now without the excellence and dedication of its faculty and staff. If there is an outstanding faculty or staff that you would like to acknowledge, please take a look at the award descriptions below and submit your nomination by the deadlines listed below. 

Cormack Teaching Awards

Established by former FASS Dean Lesley Cormack in 2010 to celebrate excellence and innovation in teaching within the faculty, the award recognizes the passion that faculty members bring to the classroom, their quality of pedagogy, and the value they bring to their students’ education and the FASS teaching community.

The FASS Dean presents up to six Cormack Teaching Awards annually, one for each rank in the teaching stream (lecturer, senior lecturer, and university lecturer) and one for each rank of the research stream (assistant, associate, and full professor).

Nominations may come from students, faculty, or chairs and directors. Submit your nomination fasssec@sfu.ca to by April 8. Final nomination portfolios and letter of support due on May 31.
