It's not official unless it's on Facebook, right? The Faculty of Law teaching awards would normally have been announced at Grad last Spring but due to a little hiccup known as the Global Pandemic, we postponed this until now. Congratulations Dr. Amar Khoday, winner of the 2020 Barney Sneiderman Award for Teaching Excellence and Natasha Brown, winner of the 2020 Dean's Award for Teaching Excellence for Sessional Instructors (Practicing Professionals).
