Inspiring accounts of his work and life can be found on:

Please explain briefly:
- your reasons for the nomination; (what is special about the nominee’s classes ?)
- your relevant interactions with the nominee; (e.g., as current/former student, supervisor, or colleague)
- the course and year on which your assessment is based. (Courses may be at any level but should have taken place on the St. George Campus.)
Below you will find a list of eligible postdoctoral fellows. Please let us know if you find any errors or omissions. If your favourite instructors do not appear on this list, they may be eligible instead for the DeLury Award (for graduate students), or the Arts & Science Outstanding Teaching Award.
We are looking forward to hearing from you! AtkinsonAward2016
