GA/TA Award for Educational Leadership
Recognizes and honours exemplary GAs and TAs who organize, create or otherwise lead initiatives for pedagogical information-sharing, skill-development, or pedagogical innovation, among GA/TAs at the departmental, faculty, or institutional level.
Haesung Ahn, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering
"Considering graduate students’ commitment to other duties, such as their coursework and research, it is typically very hard for them to fully meet the instructor’s and students’ expectations. However, I felt that Haesung made many sacrifices to dedicate himself to his GA duties. In my opinion, Haesung is by far the best GA I have ever worked with in my 16-year teaching career at the University of Windsor." ~ Nomination Package
