Mount Allison University has awarded 2021 Paul Paré Excellence Awards to four professors, recognizing them for their contributions in research, scholarship, and creative activities.
Dr. Christina Ionescu, Dr. Nathaniel Johnston, Dr. Renata Schellenberg, and Dr. David Thomas have all been recognized by Mount Allison Provost Jeff Hennessy and an adjudication panel for their, “innovative research and creative activity.”
Paul Paré Excellence Awards recognize recent outstanding contributions to research, scholarship or creative activities by full-time, tenured faculty members.
Earlier this month, Mount Allison awarded the Paul Paré Medal to Dr. Lauren Beck, professor in Hispanic studies and visual and material culture studies.
Beck is the Canada Research Chair in Intercultural Encounter and has taught at Mount Allison since 2008 in the Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures.
She was instrumental in the establishment of the University’s Visual and Material Culture Studies program.
The Paul Paré Medal is the pre-eminent faculty award at Mount Allison, given annually to a professor who has best demonstrated outstanding teaching, outstanding research, scholarship, and/or creative activities, and an exemplary record of service.
