OTTAWA, December 7, 2011  —  As part of its annual Kesarwani Lecture, the University of Ottawa’s Centre for University Teaching is honoured to welcome three of its professor-ambassadors: Christine Suurtamm (mathematics education), Alireza Jalali (anatomy) and William Ogilvie (molecular chemistry).  

This discussion panel, part of Teaching Matters!, the University's campaign to promote the importance of teaching, gives our campaign ambassadors an opportunity to share their ideas on teaching and its impact. They will each be asked to explain the teaching methods that have earned them an Excellence in Education Prize, and to discuss their vision for the profession.

The objective of this event is to promote excellence in university teaching and to improve the learning environment.

WHAT: 2011 Kesarwani Lecture: Professors make a real difference!

WHEN: Friday, December 9, 2011, 10:30 a.m.

WHERE: Desmarais Building, Room 12102, University of Ottawa

This presentation is made possible thanks to the Roop Kesarwani Lecture Endowment Fund, which was established by the family of the late Roop Kesarwani, professor of mathematics at the University of Ottawa for 30 years (1964-1994). The fund aims to promote excellence in university teaching and to enrich the learning environment. It is with this vision in mind that the Centre for University Teaching (CUT) organizes its annual lectures.
