Faculty members from Brandon University’s music and psychology departments will receive teaching honours at this week’s convocation.
The university announced Wednesday that Megumi Masaki of the school of music will receive the Senate Award for Excellence in Research, and Nicholas Watier of the department of psychology will receive the Senate Award for Excellence in Teaching at the event being held today and Friday.
Masaki has been teaching at the university since 2006, obtaining tenure in 2011 and becoming a full professor in 2014. She is a member of the Order of Canada.
The pianist explores building communities, acting on the Truth and Reconciliation’s calls to action and how to communicate human rights and environmental issues through music and multimedia performances.
Watier is an experimental psychologist who studies quantitative methods and visual perception. He has taught statistics, perception and the history of psychology since 2014.
Award winners are selected annually by the university senate and receive a certificate as well as a plaque commemorating their achievement. Winners also receive $5,000 to put toward research or professional development, though they can also request additional research time.
Each award has two tiers, with the tier awarded based on the recipient’s career progress.
Both awards this year are in tier one.
Convocation celebrations kick off today at 10 a.m. with science and music students the first to graduate. At 2 p.m., education students will receive their degrees.
On Friday, health studies students graduate at 10 a.m. with arts students having their ceremony at 2 p.m. All celebrations will take place at the university’s Healthy Living Centre.
