2012 TD Canada Trust Distinguished Teaching Award winner, Todd Green

Professor Sudheer Gupta and recent PhD recipient Todd Green have been announced as the winners of this year’s TD Canada Trust Distinguished Teaching Award. The prestigious award is the highest teaching honour of its kind in SFU’s Beedie School of Business.

Since 1990, Beedie School of Business students, faculty and alumni have nominated teachers from both undergraduate and postgraduate programs for the award. The nominations are then scrutinized by the Teaching Effectiveness Committee, who select the award recipients based on the nominations and testimonials from a sample of the nominee’s former students.

Up to two awards are presented each year to the teachers who exemplify qualities such as engagement, enthusiasm and support in their teaching. Since its creation, 37 different teachers have won the award, and winners are asked to assist the Teaching Effectiveness Committee in choosing the next year’s award winners.

After the previous cohort’s experience working with International China Concern, a charity which helps abandoned and disabled children in China, Green decided to shift the focus closer to home. While attending SustainableSFU’s annual Sustainability Festival, Green was inspired by the organization’s goal of working towards a sustainable campus and decided that he would ask his next group of students to develop a working marketing plan for SustainableSFU.
