Outstanding teachers and researchers for 2000

Vice-president (academic) Dr. Evan Simpson (first from left) and President Meisen (centre) congratulated this year’s outstanding teachers and researchers; Dr. Trevor Bell, Geography; Dr. Jean Finney-Crawley, Biology; Dr. Rick Johnstone, Sociologuy; Dr. Danny Summers, Math; and Dr. Maynard Clouter, Physics.

The university recently honoured its outstanding teachers and researchers. The President’s Awards for Outstanding Research recognize researchers who have made outstanding contributions to their scholarly disciplines. Each award includes a $5,000 research grant.

Dr. Trevor Bell, winner of the 2000 president’s award for outstanding research, has done significant research into the integration of ancient landscapes and human settlements in Newfoundland. His research has led to the discovery of a 10,000 year old Maritime Archaic Indian habitation site in Port au Choix.

Dr. Jean Finney-Crawley, winner of the distinguished teaching award, is one of the Biology Department’s most popular teachers. She has been very involved in the development of the biology program, written new courses for the senior level and is currently undergraduate officer responsible for continued development of the biology undergraduate program.

Dr. Rick Johnstone, another winner of the distinguished teaching award this year, has an international reputation for his research on apartheid in South Africa, and currently writes on other human rights issues. He believes the classroom is the heart of the university –– especially the seminar class.

Named university research professor, Dr. Maynard Clouter’s findings have played an important, if unexpected role in a number of areas, not the least of which has been NASA’s research into the climate and surface conditions of the outer planets.

Also named university research professor, Dr. Danny Summers’ research interests are in plasma dynamics and theoretical space physics. He has published about 100 research papers and is a member of the American Geophysical Union and a Fellow of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications in the United Kingdom.
