Dean's Annual Holiday Reception for the Faculty of Arts and Social Science
December 5, 2000,

Colin Atkinson Recognized For Distinguished Achievement

English Professor Colin Atkinson was surprised at the end of presentations during the Dean of Arts and Social Science's Annual Holiday Reception as he was called to receive an award for Distinguished Achievement over a Long Career, an award that is not given out every year.

"Colin Atkinson has been a professor's professor and a student's professor," Dean McCrone said. "In his 29-year career at Windsor, he provided exemplary service to his program, faculty and university. A veritable Mr. Chips, Colin has been the favorite professor of generations of students, the one whose classes they have enjoyed the most, who has been available day and night, weekdays and weekends, during the academic year and summer, to counsel and advise them. He is the one they remain in touch with and return to visit years after graduating."

Dean McCrone recalled Dr. Atkinson's research being called "breath-takingly original.

Other awards presented:

The Distinguished Service Award to a Faculty Member to Dr. Alan Sears in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology;

the Meritorious Service Award for a Part-time Faculty or Staff to Brian Brown, sessional lecturer in Visual Arts;

and the Distinguished Teaching Award to Dr. Jacqueline Lewis in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology.
