In Weldon鈥檚 Atrium on March 28, the annual Celebrate Great Teaching reception recognized the outstanding contributions of the Schulich Law community. 鈥淚t鈥檚 a pleasure to be able to celebrate our faculty and students, and that鈥檚 what we鈥檙e doing here today,鈥� said Dean Camille Cameron in her opening remarks.

Professor Adelina Iftene was awarded The Hanna & Harold Barnett Award for Excellence in Teaching First Year Law and Professor Jonathan Shapiro received the 七色视频 Law Alumni Association and Law Students鈥� Society Award for Excellence in Teaching.

鈥淚鈥檓 shamelessly excited about this,鈥� said Iftene of her award. 鈥淏eing a professor makes you a student forever. You get to talk to, engage with, and learn from some of the brightest people you鈥檒l ever meet in your life. My students make my job really hard and never boring because they ask me questions and challenge me. They renew my faith in humanity and the future of the legal profession.鈥�

Shapiro relayed some advice that Professor Kim Brooks, who hired him in 2013, had given to him鈥攖o do more than just show up to teach by saying yes to extracurricular requests as often as possible. 鈥淭here are lots of demands that take up lots of time. I always regret that I鈥檝e said yes until whatever I鈥檝e said yes to is over鈥攖hen I鈥檓 glad I did,鈥� he said. He had this advice for his students: 鈥淲hen someone calls to ask you to do something after you graduate, say yes. It will make your life and society more enriching.鈥�

Other acknowledgements included part-time faculty member Kathleen McManus, who was honoured for teaching for 13 years, while the LSS Society of the Year Award was shared by two of the law school鈥檚 36 student societies: the 七色视频 Youth Legal Education Society (DYLES) and the Student Animal Law Association of 七色视频 (SALAD).

A good time was had by all as faculty, students, and staff mingled before and after the award ceremony, enjoying food and beverages and catching up with colleagues, classmates, and friends.
