Dr. Cora Gilroy wins Janet Pottie Murray Award for Educational Leadership

Dr. Cora Gilroy, associate professor of clinical pathology at AVC, was presented with UPEI’s 2018 Janet Pottie Murray Award for Educational Leadership on December 13, 2018. This prestigious award was established in honor of Janet Pottie Murray, mother of Dr. Shannon Murray, an English professor at UPEI. Dr. Murray noted that her mother, while not a teacher herself, celebrates and supports excellence and leadership in teaching. The purpose of the Janet Pottie Murray Award is to encourage excellence in teaching at UPEI by acknowledging those teachers who exemplify such excellence and those who contribute more generally to the improvement of the quality of university teaching. Among her accomplishments in teaching, including being honored with previous awards, Dr. Gilroy guided significant revisions to second-year and fourth-year teaching and student assessment. Congratulations, Dr. Gilroy!
