The 2017 President’s Excellence in Teaching Awards

“These awards celebrate one of our core missions,” she said, going on to note that many of Concordia’s Strategic Directions are directly linked to teaching.

This year’s honoured professors embody those directions, motivating their students to experiment boldly, get their hands dirty and go beyond the classroom.”

Excellence in Teaching, Part-Time Faculty

Bonnie Baxter won the Part-Time Faculty Award for Excellence in Teaching for her ability to engage with students and stimulate intellectual growth.

A multidisciplinary artist with a national and international exhibition record spanning four decades, Baxter creates everything from public art installations to large-scale pieces in print media, video projection and sculpture. She has been teaching at Concordia since 1984.

“This is an especially sweet moment within my 33 years here,” says Baxter. “What I love about teaching is being part of such a vibrant creative community. I especially appreciate the contact with my students who have taught me a lot and permitted me to have so much fun.”
