This article was originally published in the Faculty Association of the University of Waterloo Forum, Issue 147, in February.

The University of Waterloo’s Professor Susan M. Shaw has won a 2011 Woman of Distinction Award from the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA).

The award, sponsored by OCUFA’s Status of Women Committee, recognizes women who have improved the lives and working conditions of academic women and, by extension, their colleagues, families, and friends.

Colleagues,

As you all know by now, we have signed a 5-year salary settlement with scale increases of 0, 0, 3, 3, and 3 percent for the period 1 May 2010 to 30 April 2015. The annual merit increases will be processed as usual in all five years.
