Kelly Curtis Memorial Teaching Award

Kelly Curtis

This award memorializes Kelly Curtis, an outstanding student from the course in its early years and one of its very successful graduates. Kelly was driving to the teaching job she loved when she was tragically killed in a car crash. The Kelly Curtis award celebrates her excellence at, and her devotion to, teaching.

The Kelly Curtis Award recognizes each year’s most promising graduate student in English 502, the department’s course on Teaching Literature and Composition. The course pairs student teachers with professional mentors in college and university classrooms at Camosun, Royal Roads and UVic. The award winner is the student with the best teaching assessments from these mentors.

For further information on this award, please contact Colleen Donnelly, the English Graduate Secretary.
