Bayley is recognized by students for her dedication and preparedness in her teaching roles for a variety of courses. One student remarked that “Bayley’s passion for teaching and deep expertise of the complex concepts [were] evident throughout the entire semester.”
The award, first established in 1998, was renamed in 2006 and recognizes “excellence in teaching by students who have a formal teaching role (e.g. teaching assistant, laboratory demonstrator, adjunct lecturer) at the University of Waterloo or its federated and affiliated university/colleges.”
McKillop, Pritzker and Bayley will be officially recognized at spring convocation in June.
