This week, KIN Grad student Ben Hives was awarded the Killam Graduate Teaching Assistant Award.
As one of six Killam institutions, UBC offers yearly awards from the Killam Endowment Fund to faculty and teaching assistants who demonstrate excellence in teaching. Each year, 16 receipients across campus are recognized for the valuable role that Teaching Assistants play in programs. Successful candidates have to meet the set criteria that demonstrate a high level of respect for the candidate from undergraduate students and academic or course supervisors. For the full list of Killam teaching award winners, visit the Provost’s website.
Ben is doing his MSc with Dr. Eli Puterman. He will be presented the award at the Faculty of Education meeting on May 9. Congratulations, Ben!
