The Provost’s College Awards for Outstanding Teaching recognize educators from across the colleges whose dedication, creativity, and impact exemplify USask’s commitment to teaching and learning. One award is awarded annually to an educator in each college or school. Awards are also awarded at the institutional level each year.
“The recipients of the Provost’s College Awards for Outstanding Teaching demonstrate the scale and scope of remarkable teaching practice that defines our university,” said Dr. Patti McDougall (PhD), interim provost and vice-president academic. "Their dedication to their students, their disciplines, and to the practice of teaching reflect the strength of USask’s learning culture. By fostering engaging, inclusive, and supportive learning environments, these educators make a lasting impact on students and play a vital role in strengthening the communities we serve.”
This year, each award recipient was asked the question: “What lesson, habit, or way of thinking do you hope students carry forward from their learning opportunities with you?” Read on to find out their answers.

“I hope my students carry forward a sense of wonder and curiosity and have built confidence to put their knowledge into action as participants in their communities, believing that they can make positive changes in the world. I hope my students continue to self-assess and reflect deeply, especially when learning from challenges and failures. Finally, I hope my students bring collaborative and interdisciplinary approaches to forge new relationships, knowledge and solutions to today’s challenges.”
