Current Recipients

The Alan Blizzard Award was established by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) to encourage, identify, and publicly recognize those whose exemplary collaboration in university teaching enhances student learning. This is the 13th year of the Alan Blizzard Award, co-sponsored by McGraw-Hill Ryerson and STLHE.

The 2012 Alan Blizzard Award is awarded to the team from McMaster University for the project Development, Implementation and Evaluation of the Program of Interprofessional Practice Education and Research (PIPER).

This exemplary project involves team members from three clusters of collaborative activities: PIPER, Interprofessional Education Student Events and Program for Faculty Development. The team submission was coordinated by Bonny Jung, School of Rehabilitation Science, McMaster University.

The 2012 Alan Blizzard Award team will receive the Award and make a presentation on its collaborative project at the Blizzard Plenary session at the STLHE 2012 Annual Conference held in Montreal, June 18 to 22, 2012.
