In recognition of the dedication and exceptional work exhibited by its faculty and staff, SFU's Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences (FASS) celebrates the winners of the Dean's Medal Awards, Cormack Teaching Awards, and the Employee Achievement Awards with the annual Cormack Teaching Symposium and FASS Fall Reception.
On November 29, the Symposium kicked off the day with presentations from winners of the Cormack Teaching Awards, followed by the FASS Fall Reception at the West Mall Centre Lounge. The evening not only honoured the individual accomplishments of the FASS award winners, it also acknowledged the invaluable contributions of all faculty and staff.
