The Students’ Teacher Recognition Reception (STRR) is an opportunity to celebrate teaching excellence.

Recognizing that academic growth and development occurs over many years, each faculty nominates an outstanding graduating student, who then selects two teachers who have made important contributions to their education – one from Kindergarten to Grade 12 years and one from their years at the University of Manitoba.

Each year, the University of Manitoba honours both support and academic staff who have been active in community engagement activities, particularly during the previous year, through presentation of sterling silver pins bearing the outreach logo. An annual reception is held in late fall to recognize the winners.

Nomination process

Suggestions for nominations are to be sent to the appropriate dean or director, or the appropriate Vice-President (Administration, External or Research) for consideration.

Community engagement is defined as activities above and beyond what an individual does as an employee of the university. The committee identifies the general purpose of community engagement as enlarging and enriching the contacts between the university and all segments of the community by such means as:

• increasing access to the existing programs of the University
• extending the nature and range of the programs and services it offers
• sharing more effectively with the community the resources of the University
• drawing on the talent, experience and resources within the community
