Top Teaching and Research Awards AnnouncedThe 2003-04 recipients of two prestigious Trent University awards have been announced.
Two of Prof. Helleiner's nominators summed up his strengths by saying: "Professor Helleiner's approach to teaching embodies and conveys the three qualities that a professor needs most to communicate effectively to and with students. These qualities are passion, erudition and humility." "His dedication to his students extends well beyond the classroom. He is always happy to provide advice, whether it is on an essay or on future paths to follow ... In short I cannot imagine my Trent experience without Professor Helleiner."
Letters of support provided by colleagues from international research organizations praised Dr. Dillon for his contributions to scholarly research: "...his outstanding contribution to knowledge in the field is not only evidenced by his output of quality research papers but also by those he has influenced and taught along the way. He has supervised an impressive list of students, many of whom have gone on to become experts in their own right. He has influenced state, national and international politicians and funding agencies." "The Water Quality Centre is at the forefront of environmental biogeochemistry, and its establishment and success are a direct result of Dr. Dillon's efforts. His ability to secure funding from industry, governmental departments, and research organizations to produce a state of the art, innovative research centre, is testament to his vision, drive and determination. The Centre will build on this solid foundation, and has the ability to be a world leader." The Symons Award for Excellence in Teaching was established in 1976. The Distinguished Research Award was established in 1986. The awards are presented each year at the spring convocation to a member of the Trent University community. Posted April 6, 2004
