SACKVILLE, NB — Five Mount Allison professors received Paul Paré Excellence Awards at the annual University Assembly on Friday, Aug. 31. The excellence awards recognize outstanding faculty research, scholarship, and creative performance in combination with excellence in teaching.
This year’s recipients include Dr. Glen Briand (chemistry and biochemistry), Dr. Ralf Brüning (physics), Dr. David Fleming (physics), Dr. Jennifer Harris (English), and Dr. Renata Schellenberg (modern languages and literatures).
Dr. Christl Verduyn (Canadian studies and English) was awarded the Paul Paré Medal during Convocation ceremonies in May. The medal recognizes contributions of outstanding quality that demonstrate a balanced approach to teaching, research, scholarship, and outreach.
The Paul Paré Medal and the Paul Paré Excellence Awards were established in 1994 and are funded by the Paul Paré Endowment Fund, established through the generous support of Imasco Ltée. as part of the Mount Allison Universitas Campaign. A strong supporter of higher education, Paul Paré was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Imasco Ltée.
