3M National Student Fellowship

Do you know undergraduate and diploma students who demonstrate qualities of outstanding leadership in their lives and at their post-secondary institution? If so, please consider nominating one or more students for the 3M National Student Fellowship.

Each year, 3M and the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education (STLHE) honour up to ten full-time diploma and undergraduate students. These students embrace a vision of education that enhances their academic experience and beyond.

The award is open to undergraduate and diploma students who are enrolled full-time in a post-secondary Canadian institution, have completed at least one full semester of study at the time of nomination, and have not previously received a 3M student fellowship.

Vianne Timmons University of Regina

University of Regina president Vianne Timmons is one of 12 recipients of a 2019 Indspire Award. The awards, formally known as the National Aboriginal Achievement Awards, celebrate and encourage excellence throughout Canada’s Indigenous communities. Dr. Timmons grew up in Labrador and is of Mi’kmaq heritage. After she earned her education degree in 1980, her first job was in Granisle, B.C., teaching children on the Babine First Nations Reserve. Under Dr. Timmons’ leadership, U of Regina adopted its 2015-2020 strategic plan – entitled peyak aski kikawinaw, Cree for “We are one with Mother Earth” – with a focus on Indigenization. The Indspire Awards ceremony takes place in Calgary on Feb. 22, 2019.
