3M Award Recipient Says Teaching is About Respect
Dr Brenda Cameron, who earned the U of A’s Rutherford Award for Teaching Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2000, speaks passionately about teaching and research, and her excitement about the 3M award. “Teaching is very integral to nursing, and the other way around--because as a nurse you’re always teaching people how to live with diabetes, or how to properly care for their new baby, or maybe how to motivate someone to cut down on smoking or not do things that are dangerous for them. I think I’m very fortunate to be part of a profession that has teaching so integral to it,” she said.

Established in 1986 and sponsored by 3M Canada and the Society of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education, the 3M Canada Teaching Fellowships recognize and reward teaching excellence as well as educational leadership.
Up to ten university faculty members are recognized annually for their exceptional contributions to teaching and learning. Fellows are scattered throughout Canada and represent a broad range of disciplines. They work collaboratively as well as individually to enhance learning and teaching, not only at their own institutions, but also through larger collaborative initiatives supported by the Society of Teaching and Learning in Higher Education.
Faculty at the University of Alberta have now earned a total of 28 3M Fellowships, more than any other university in Canada.
