Dr. Marc Roussel has been named the University of Lethbridge’s “Excellence in Teaching Award” winner.
Roussel, a professor of chemistry, is a dedicated and engaging teacher who combines extensive knowledge and understanding of his subject matter with innovative teaching methods, applications to real-world situations and the expectation of regular student participation – all because of his earnest desire to see students succeed.
He will be presented with the “Excellence in Teaching Award” at Fall Convocation Oct. 19.
Roussel has been an excellent mentor, not only for ULethbridge students, but also for new faculty members and young people participating in science fairs. He has also taken on several administrative positions, in addition to his professorial duties.
More recently, Roussel became department chair and associate dean in the School of Graduate Studies, where he supports graduate student learning through a variety of activities.
Throughout his career, Roussel has demonstrated a commitment to improving himself as a scientist and teacher and helping his colleagues and students do the same.
