2008 CHANCELLOR'S AWARD WINNER ANDRE TREMBLAY
Andre Tremblay, Centre Coordinator in the Centre de recherches en éducation franco-ontarienne (CREFO), has been named winner of a 2008 Chancellor's Award. Part of the Awards of Excellence program, the Chancellor's Award recognizes and honours outstanding contributions to the U of T experience by a staff member.

Respected by faculty, staff and students for his enthusiasm, ever positive support, and professional dedication, it is Andre Tremblay’s high caliber of work and initiative that have set him apart.  Since joining the Department of Curriculum, Teaching and Learning in 2000 he has assumed a leadership role in areas of graduate studies, student governance, research goals, and community building events.

André has been instrumental in facilitating many of the graduate studies goals within the Department Academic Plan, most notably the merger of six semi-autonomous mini programs into the new Curriculum Studies and Teacher Development Program.  His innovation is reflected in the regular "Doc Talk" and "MA" sessions that are informal support forums for graduate students within the program. 

André’s dedication to the OISE community extends far beyond that of his own department. He was instrumental in OISE/UT centennial celebration in 2006-07, giving generously of his own time and talents to numerous activities and events including the production of a promotional piece "Inspiring Education," a documentary on the history of education at the University of Toronto and offering assistance in English-French translation to a number of programs and departments.

Since the nomination, André has moved to a promotional position as Centre Coordinator in the Centre de recherches en éducation franco-ontarienne (CREFO). The 2008 Awards of Excellence Ceremony takes place in the Great Hall of Hart House on Wednesday, April 16 at 5:30 p.m.
