Our professors: a source of pride
| Dear colleagues,
Barely three months ago, you donned your academic hoods and gowns to celebrate, alongside your students, Convocation 2018. Recruitment and Communications Services used this opportunity to survey several students to find out what they had taken away from the years they spent at Saint Paul University. At SPU, we firmly believe in the transformative power of encounter. Sometimes, all it takes is a professor who is especially empathetic or passionate to transform a student’s attitude, path or perspective. You are all part of this group of guides who have lighted the way through your teaching ‒ and your personality ‒ of the students within these walls. This October 5, on World Teachers’ Day, we want to highlight the crucial role you play in our university and in the lives of so many students. You can be proud of this. Keep up the excellent work. Keep being the face of change, one course at a time. |

“One of my professors was very engaging. She guided me in my progress and helped me to develop my writing skills for university.

“I particularly liked one of my professors. She has vast knowledge of her field and a rich experience, and she knows how to communicate her knowledge so well. I would have liked to take her other courses!” Jean-Jacques Rosemond

“I took three courses with the same professor: she is incredibly dynamic, and her courses are really interesting. Thanks to her generosity, I had an unforgettable experience and was able to develop my research and speech-writing skills. I took seven courses with another professor! I am so grateful to him. He is an excellent teacher and is amazingly available. He helped me so much!” MH Casimiro |
