Associate Professor of Teaching, Melissa Lee, Receives the Early Career Educator Award 2025 by SSC

In a recent announcement on the Statistical Society of Canada (SSC)'s website, our Statistics Associate Professor of Teaching, Melissa Lee, was awarded the SSC Early Career Educator Award for 2025. This award recognizes excellence in teaching statistics by early career SSC members, through commitment to evidence-based pedagogy and in contributions to statistical education in Canada. Such excellence may be demonstrated through contributions to the scholarship of teaching and learning, attention to accessibility and inclusivity of learning environments, or innovation in development and/or implementation of new courses, curricula or programs.
Melissa has received this award “for her leadership role in curriculum development and in resource development and assessment; for her curiosity and creativity in exploring new pedagogical methods; for her mentoring and support of the teaching of both faculty and teaching assistants; and for her ability to create a respectful, effective, and enjoyable teaching and learning environment for all.”
We’re grateful for Melissa’s dedication to teaching and proud of her accomplishments.
Congratulations, Melissa!
