Professor Frankie Stewart receives Ryerson Service Award

Professor Frankie Stewart of the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering has received this year's Faculty Service Award. This award recognizes Ryerson faculty members for their exceptional or distinguished service to a department, school, faculty, and/or the university.

Professor Stewart joined Ryerson in 1991 and has been providing exceptional service ever since. Her organization of the Ryerson Iron Ring ceremonies has been named the "best practice" in the Greater Toronto Area, and many schools have adopted her organization processes in the delivery of their ceremonies. In January 2010, Professor Stewart was awarded a second NSERC PromoScience grant to provide continued support for engineering outreach activities such as the Research Opportunity Program in Engineering and Science (ROPES) which she initiated in 2008.

In August 2010, Professor Stewart was named the Engineering Teaching Chair for the faculty and was also appointed Program Director of the First-Year and Common Engineering Office, which is departmental home to over 1,000 first-year engineering students.
