“I am so honoured to receive this award. I have been very fortunate to work with many extraordinary teachers, colleagues and mentors over the course of my career so far, and their dedication and support has been invaluable to me. I have also been fortunate to work with many amazing students, and their passion, curiosity, and creativity inspire me to continue to challenge myself to be the best clinician and educator I can be. I consider it an honour and a privilege to have the opportunity to help shape the knowledge, skills, and values of future health-care providers and colleagues, and I strive to do my best each day to have a positive impact on the students I work with.” - Erin Yakiwchuk
These awards are presented each year to faculty and staff members from across colleges, schools and units who exemplify USask’s commitment to be the university the world needs through their teaching and leadership activities.
“This year’s teaching award recipients are powerful examples of the teaching vision, passion and transformative impact that truly define USask’s mission to be the university the world needs,” said Dr. Vince Bruni-Bossio (PhD), acting provost and vice-president academic. “Our teaching mission inspires us to connect discovery and teaching, create meaningful change and equip students to thrive as globally engaged citizens, and these outstanding educators showcase these goals every day in their work. Congratulations to all the recipients, and thank you for all you contribute to our teaching and learning environments at USask.”
