Professors Pearce and Seijts received
the Ivey Teaching Innovation Award 2004-05
Professor Michael Pearce and Professor
Gerard Seijts are the recipients of the Ivey Teaching Innovation
Award for 2004-05.
The Ivey Teaching Innovation Award was established in 2001 with
the generous financial support of Rosamond Ivey (HBA 82) and Scott
Cooper (HBA 82). This award recognizes not only teaching excellence
but also innovative curriculum and program contributions. One
faculty member teaching in each of the HBA, MBA and EMBA programs
is annually honoured pending qualification against the award criteria
listed as follows: curriculum innovation; significance to students;
impact on the program; success, as judged by classroom performance,
student comments and colleague feedback; and adoption at other
Business Schools, where appropriate. Past Ivey Teaching Innovation
Award winners include Joerg Dietz, Tima Bansal, Michael Pearce,
David Loree, Robert Fisher, Niraj Dawar and Fernando Olivera.
The Ivey Teaching Awards Committee (ITAC), consisting of Jim Erskine,
Mary Heiz and Rick Robertson, was established last year to rigorously
identify and assess Ivey faculty who should be nominated for internal
and external awards. ITAC solicited input for the Ivey Teaching
Innovation Awards from the program directors and the broad Ivey
community and ultimately recommended that Professors Pearce and
Seijts be chosen as the Innovation Award winners for their outstanding
contributions to the EMBA and MBA Programs respectively.
Professor Pearce continues to apply his talents in both curriculum
and program innovation in the EMBA program. Professor Pearce has
an outstanding record in designing and teaching the Strategic
Marketing Planning course. His stewardship of the EMBA program
continues to keep this program at the top of all EMBA programs
in Canada and among the very best in the world.
Professor Seijts not only has an outstanding record in teaching
a course called “Leading Change” in the MBA program
but he also seeks out and delivers innovation to the MBA program
and to the Ivey community. His wide array of guests and colleagues
invited to his “Leading Change” classes are becoming
welcome fixtures at Ivey. Through his efforts, the entire Ivey
community has benefited from the guest appearances of Romeo Dallaire
and Jeffery Wigand; two prominent people significantly challenged
by change.
The Ivey Teaching Innovation Award carries a monetary recognition
of $10,000 per award.
