Labstracts, Fall 2002 (pg 8)

Edward Andrews received the Memorial University President's Award for Distinguished Teaching for 2002. The award is intended to recognize excellence in teaching over an extended period of years and to recognize success in generating an intellectual excitment and in fortering the development of student's skills and interest in their disciplines. The award also recognizes outstanding achievement in teaching effectiveness, and educational scholarship or educational leadership or both.

A permanent designation in the University Calendar after the recipient's name
An amount of $5,000 to be used in further support of any teaching activities

Labstracts is about communication. So, we always need articles in addition to the basic business of the organization. Think about writing book, technique, or software reviews, notes about conferences, opinions, informational articles, original ideas, workshop uses or spin-offs, short notes, notification of conferences, etc. Don't feel that you can't contribute because you do not have the time to write a long article. A short article can be just as interesting as a long one.

If you do decide to submit an article, please include a short bio of yourself. If you have the capability, send a scanned picture, too. Although I will accept articles sent by snail mail or fax, I would prefer them as e-mail attachments (to djschroeder@stthomas.edu) in either Word or WordPerfect. If you created the document on a Mac, please tell me that too, when you send it. Thanks in advance for your contributions.
