Dr. Hugh MacIsaac BSH ’83
is a true
mentor, bringing out the best in his students.
In recognition, Dr. MacIsaac received
the
Excellence in Mentoring Award
at the Alumni
Association’s Annual
General Meeting in
November. The award
is presented to a
faculty member who
has demonstrated
excellence by offering
personal, academic or
professional guidance
to students, and is
making a significant
contribution to
their all-around
development up
to and following
graduation.
Professor and Invasive Species Research
Chair in the department of Biological
Sciences, his mentoring reaches into the
lives of students through his expertise in
the Great Lakes aquatic ecosystems, exotic
species, invading species, spiny water flea,
and zebra mussels.
He teaches undergraduate and graduate
students at the Great Lakes Institute for
Environmental Research, and is a leading
researcher in the field of aquatic invasive
species.
In support of his
nomination, a former
student wrote:
“One of the strongest
forms of support provided
by Dr. MacIsaac was his
facilitation of student
collaborations with
internationally renowned
scientists. During my
graduate program,
he encouraged me to
participate in several of
these with researchers
from Russia, Poland, the
U.S. and Canada. He
continues his mentorship with me today
through a variety of fronts, including joint
authorship on publications and ongoing
research. Because of his mentorship, I am
much more prepared as an independent
researcher, making significant contributions
to my field.”
The Lancer Men’s Hockey
team honoured its alumni on Saturday, January 17. Events
included a family skate, an alumni game, and VIP box seats with food and drinks to watch
the 08-09 team defeat the Toronto Varsity Blues. A pre-game tribute to the 1997-98 Queen’s
Cup Championship team marked the 10th anniversary of the title.
