About STEC
The Student Teaching Excellence Committee (STEC) was formed in the Fall of 2012 after student representatives on the Faculty’s Teaching and Learning Committee recruited fellow students from each department in the Faculty of Environment. The initial mandate of the committee was to organize and lead town hall meetings in order to capture and relay the student body’s ideas and concerns regarding teaching and learning to the Teaching Fellow. Since then, STEC has broadened its mandate to enhance the teaching and learning experience of Faculty of Environment students at the University of Waterloo through the development of teaching and learning initiatives, including, but not limited to, workshops and panel discussions, a funding program to enhance students’ learning experience, and a regular ‘spotlight on student learning’ blog series.
