    Biology professor Dr. Andrea Morash (‘05) is the recipient of the 2024 Tucker Teaching Award at Mount Allison — the highest teaching award at the University!

“Focusing my teaching practices around freedom means that everyone is free to make mistakes, learn in their own way, and reach for their own goals as they transform from passive students to active learners. My inspiration stems mainly from my time at Mount Allison as a first-generation student.”

Morash returned to Mount Allison as a faculty member in 2016 and has since designed nine courses, including the Galápagos Islands Conservation Physiology Field School.

Established by Edmund, Harold, and William Tucker in memory of their parents, the Herbert and Leota Tucker Teaching Award is intended to encourage excellence in teaching at Mount Allison University by acknowledging those who exemplify this excellence.

    Honours biochemistry graduate Ellie Smallwood has been selected as Class of 2024 Valedictorian!

“The honour of being chosen as Valedictorian means that I get to say goodbye to this place and these people one last time and let everyone know how much of a positive impact they have had on my time here. I’m grateful for the chance to vocalize how proud I am of my fellow graduates and to express the lasting impact that they have had on me.”

What’s next? Smallwood will be attending medical school at Trinity College in Dublin with the hopes of returning to the East Coast as a family physician.
