Friends and colleagues gathered at UBC's Green College on April 17, 1998 to celebrate the awarding of the 1998 Academic of the
Year Award to University of Victoria child and youth care professor Dr. Sibylle Artz. This is the fourth year the Confederation of University Faculty Associations of British Columbia (CUFA/BC) has given the award to recognize excellence in the generation, transmission, or implementation of ideas -- the stock in trade of the university.
The Academic of the Year Award was established in 1995 as a means to highlight the accomplishments of the academic staff of B.C. public universities. Dr. Artz is the fourth recipient of the award, following UBC zoologist Dr. Peter Hochachka in 1995, SFU mathematicians Dr. Jonathan Borwein and Dr. Peter Borwein in 1996, and UNBC forestry professor Dr. Wini Kessler in 1997. The award has been supported since its inception by generous donations from Sun Microsystems of Canada and Prentice Hall Canada.
Dr. Artz received a cheque for $3,000 and a framed print.
