2023 recipient

Terri Peters

Faculty of Engineering and Architectural Science

Dr Peters deserves recognition through the AVP-International’s Global Learning Award for her meaningful contribution to student experience at TMU. Through her efforts she introduced new ways for students to engage in critical questions about how architectural programs are meeting our needs and expectations for sustainable design and responses to climate change. Through a multi-modal process with various partnerships, Terri engaged Canadian and international students to implement a student survey in Canadian architecture schools, leading a design competition that generated 74 countries from 22 countries (international jury) as well as producing three peer reviewed publications and two online resources.
