“Ken Meadows has been the Managing Editor for CJSoTL for several years now. His warm and welcoming presence make it an absolute delight to work on that team. Ken makes everyone fell valued and supported. He is the glue that keeps CJSoTL functioning.”

“I nominate Ken for his many years of contributions to CJSoTL, and the extremely professional and helpful manner in which he conducts his work.  I worked closely with him for 6 years when I was Associate Editor for CJSoTL and can confidently say that he is exemplary in every way!”

“I have worked closely with Dr. Meadows in my role as Associate Editor for CJSoTL and can attest that he is most deserving of this recognition. He is a visionary, dedicated, and collaborative leader, and his commitment to the success of the journal and the editorial team supporting the journal, is truly to be admired. He is always willing to help and goes above and beyond his duties to ensure that everyone fees welcome and supported. It is evident to all of us who have had both the pleasure and privilege to work alongside him, that Dr. Meadows is truly deserving of this recognition.”

“Ken is one of STLHE’s quiet heroes – a volunteer truly behind the scenes of our journal. Ken has served as managing editor since the journal’s inception in 2010 – a decade long gargantuan task. Ken doesn’t just manage it seamlessly, he attributes all successes to others – although we all know that without him the journal would not happen. Ken is not an STLHE president or a director of a teaching centre but Ken is why we, at STLHE, have the wonderful resource that is CJ-SoTL.”

“An STLHE member since 2005 and EDC member since 2006, Dr. Isabeau Iqbal continues to actively advance teaching and learning in higher education in Canada. At UBC, Dr. Iqbal focuses on the development of educational leadership and supporting faculty along their career path. While she centers her work on the needs of each faculty member with whom she interacts, Dr. Iqbal also pays close attention to her colleagues’ development. She openly shares all resources she develops, including her work on peer-review of teaching and her detailed facilitation notes, so they can be reused and revised by other practitioners. She leads Coaching Circles for fellow colleagues to help us set goals and gain clarity in our work. On the national level, Dr. Iqbal co-authored Educational Development Guide Series: No. 1: The Educational Developer’s Portfolio (2016), is a valued mentor for new Educational Developers, and has made countless contributions at the annual STLHE and EDC Conferences.”

“As the past-president of STLHE from 2000-2004, Dr. Gary Poole helped to establish working relationships with the 3M Teaching Fellows and the Educational Developers Caucus – two important stakeholders in the society. He also sought to realize STLHE’s goal of becoming a ‘national voice’ in teaching and learning and worked diligently to explore ways that the society could operationalize this vision. In the time since his presidency, he has been no stranger to STLHE. He has presented at numerous STLHE conferences through plenary presentations and concurrent sessions and is well-regarded as a leader, mentor, and scholar among members of the STLHE community and beyond.”

“Gary has been so involved with STLHE over the years I can’t think of it without him. A past director and President, someone who brought SoTL to Canada and to STLHE, who forged partnerships with ISSOTL, he has mentored countless individuals and organizations over the years about SoTL, about ethics in teaching, and about what it means to be an upstanding member of the STLHE community. His awards honour his successes in scholarship and teaching, but his gift to STLHE? Gary is what the very best of collegiality and mentorship looks like.”

“Two word comes to mind when I think of Tim Loblaw – kindness and commitment. If you have been fortunate enough to work with Tim, you know what I mean. He is caring, thoughtful, informed and more. He brings these and other qualities to the committees, working groups, and boards he serves on, to the projects he engages in, and to the connections he creates with others. Whenever I interact with Tim, I come away from the experience knowing a little more than I did going in, appreciative of the time and attention bestowed upon me, and, honestly, feeling more positive and reflective about my day. Tim is a dedicated educational developer (ED), leader, and mentor. During his ED career, he has worked in multiple post-secondary settings (university, college and institute level) and is currently the Director of Learning and Teaching Technology at Simon Fraser University.”

“Deb Dawson embodies what is best about STLHE: she combines an impressive body of scholarly work for the advancement of teaching and learning in higher education (more than 100 presentations, keynotes, and publications) with the generosity of spirit that marks the beauty of this Society. She was the 2016 recipient of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education’s (STLHE) Christopher Knapper Lifetime Achievement Award, serves as coordinator of the 3M National Teaching Fellows program — and worked for many years before on the adjudication committee — , and sat on STLHE’s Board for 10 years. From 2012-2016 she was the chair of Educational Developers Caucus.”

“Denise has served as STLHE President during an exciting time of growth, and during the current period of significant challenge. Under her leadership the Society has thrived and survived. Through it all, Denise has demonstrated her commitment to transparent and collaborative leadership as she strives to make each member feel welcome and valued. Denise is as passionate about the Society providing value to individuals as she is enthusiastic about recognizing the contributions of individuals to the Society.”

“Lynn has been a long-standing STLHE and EDC guiding light – someone who saw things coming and invited people to be in the right place at the right time to help be the catalysts. Her mentorship is a beacon to the community and her efforts to integrate professional development into EDC have seen significant PD rewards for members. Lynn has also been instrumental in getting the CJSoTL journal going and in bringing SoTL to Canada. That she does all of this (and more) with grace, style, honest feedback, and more than a fair share of wisdom is what makes her Lynn – and an STLHE treasure.”

“Anne Marie Ryan has been an inspiring advocate of building interdisciplinary teaching communities for reflection and discussion of teaching and learning. She has formed dedicated groups within Dalhousie University, in the Faculty of Science, mentored many teaching faculty in their development as teachers and guides, and fostered interdisciplinary groups within STHLE with members across Canada. She is an outstanding educator who has raised consciousness on many learning and teaching topics for Science teaching faculty and encourages collaboration and support between faculty members. She has introduced us to groundbreaking workshops on threshold concepts and held workshops at numerous STHLE conferences and continues to inspire us with her thoughtful and innovative ideas. Anne Marie was awarded a 3M National Teaching Fellowship in 2019.”
