Prince George, B.C.- A University of Northern B.C. Mathematics Professor has been named the recipient of the Canadian Mathematical Society (CMS) Excellence in Teaching award.
Professor Jennifer Hyndman will receive the award at the Society’s meeting in Fredricton New Brunswick later this year.
The award recognizes sustained and distinguished contributions in teaching at the undergraduate level at a Canadian post-secondary education institution.
In announcing the award, Tony Lau, President of the CMS, noted that “Professor Hyndman is an outstanding educator and this award recognizes her proven excellence as a teacher, her unusual effectiveness in the classroom, and her commitment and dedication to teaching and to students.”
