Check out the 10 teachers who were named to the top of their class
3m – DAVID CREELMAN – The course Prof. Creelman designed offers guidance, exam prep and library education to any student at UNBSJ
The 3M National Teaching Fellowship, founded in 1986 by the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education in partnership with 3M Canada, recognizes exceptional teachers and leaders at universities.
The award doesn’t come with cash, but fellows become lifetime members of the society and get an all-expenses-paid trip to Banff, Alta., for a retreat, where they brainstorm ways to make higher education even better.
“Getting this award transforms your life. You’re instantly regarded as a leader, and called on by your institution to step up and be a leader,” says society president Robert Lapp, a 2008 3M fellow and professor of English at Mount Allison University. “In the university system, you’re often told that your first priority should be research. There’s a risk in devoting a lot of time to teaching, because it takes time to reflect and find ways to do it better. This is a way of rewarding that effort.”
