Western Awards for Excellence in Teaching honour Mark Ramsay and Tracy Wong
Congratulations to faculty members Mark Ramsay and Tracy Wong, the 2024-25 recipients of Western’s Vice-Provost (Academic Programs) Award for Excellence in Collaborative Teaching.
Their partnership has enriched student learning through thoughtful redesign of both the master of music in choral conducting and the doctor of musical arts in choral conducting, with an aim to “disrupt the established belief that the act of conducting is a soloistic venture.”
Besides organizing residencies with renowned artists and facilitating community engagement initiatives, their collaboration extended to research and creative pursuits, including commissioned works and contributions to the Canadian Music Educator journal.
This award was created to recognize instructors whose exemplary collaborations in university teaching enhance student learning.
