Professor David McDonald is the recipient of the Frank Knox Award for Excellence in Teaching. This award is to recognize and acknowledge Queen’s University professors that demonstrate an outstanding commitment to the education of their students through their remarkable teaching. This is a student initiative wherein students at large are responsible for determining the recipients of the award each year, and DEVS is thrilled that Profesor McDonald has been selected as the 2017/2018 recipient.
The award is named in honour of Frank Knox, a professor of economics who taught at Queen’s from the 1920’s to the 1960’s. Professor Knox demonstrated tremendous dedication in his teaching of undergraduates. As a result, the Award serves as a reminder to all, teachers and students alike, of the necessity of a strong commitment to the high quality of teaching at Queen’s.
Congratulations David!
