On March 30 Prof. Richard Ascough attended the Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance banquet in Toronto where he was one of 8 recipients of the 2016-17 OUSA Award for Excellence in Teaching.
This province-wide award "recognizes educators who excel at unlocking the potential of Ontario’s young people.” Richard was selected as the Queen’s recipient by the Queen’s Alma Mater Society for, among other things, his ability "to create an engaging classroom environment where students are able to learn from him, and from each other."
