The nomination deadline for the Principal’s Teaching and Learning Awards has been extended to March 1, 2024. These awards celebrate faculty, staff, and students who are making an impact by enhancing the student-learning experience.

New this year is a partnership with the Queen’s University Alumni Association (QUAA) for an updated Alumni Award with a focus on lifelong learning. The QUAA joins other campus partners of these awards including the Center for Teaching and Learning, the Office of Indigenous Initiatives, the Office of the Vice-Provost (Global Engagement), Queen's Library, and Information Technology Services.  

 This type of institutional recognition can translate to being recognized at provincial, national, and international levels.

Award categories are:

• Indigenous Education Award
• Alumni Award for Engaging Students as Partners in Learning
• Educational Leadership Award
• Educational Technology Award
• Globally Engaged Education Innovation Award
• Promoting Student Inquiry Teaching Award

Nominations may be submitted by students, faculty, and staff colleagues, department heads or deans, and alumni. Self-nominations are also accepted. Online nomination forms are available on the Office of the Principal and Vice-Chancellor’s website.

To support with preparing nominations, the Office of the Principal and Vice-Chancellor and the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL) hosted a webinar on Wednesday, Oct 4, led by Dale Lackeyram, Director of CTL. A recording will be available online following the event.
