Vajoczki to be honoured as an ‘outstanding university teacher’

Award-winning teaching professor Susan Vajoczki has been posthumously named one of Ontario’s most outstanding university teachers by the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations.

Vajoczki, who passed away in October 2012, taught in the School of Geography and Earth Sciences, and in 2010 was named director of McMaster’s Centre for Leadership in Learning (now known as the McMaster Institute for Innovation and Excellence in Teaching and Learning).

Vajoczki will be honoured with an OCUFA Teaching Award September 28 at a ceremony in Toronto.

A three-time McMaster graduate, Vajoczki was known as an enthusiastic educator and lifelong learner. She was committed in all her endeavours to helping improve student learning at every level.

The Susan Vajoczki Legacy Fund was established in 2012 to create ongoing undergraduate scholarship to help talented students pursue research in geography and Earth sciences, pedagogical research and evidence-based teaching and learning projects.
