RA Tye Landels Wins Prestigious 3M Award

The MoEML project leaders are delighted to announce that RA and encoder Tye Landels, a third-year student in the UVic English Honours program and current President of the English Students Association, has won one of ten 2014 3M National Student Fellowships. These prestigious, highly competitive awards honour undergraduate students in Canada who have demonstrated qualities of outstanding leadership and who embrace a vision where the quality of their educational experience can be enhanced in academia and beyond. It’s a great honour for UVic and the English Department to have one of our own students win this award. Tye will receive his award in June at the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education conference in Kingston.

Tye was nominated by Janelle Jenstad (MoEML Director). For the application, Tye wrote short essays on Leadership, Challenges in Post-Secondary Education, and Transformational Educational Experiences. His application was warmly supported by Lisa Surridge (Professor of English), Martin Holmes (Programmer in HCMC), Evan Reed-Armstrong (a recent graduate from the English Honours program), and Jan Heinrichs (recently retired Music Director at Stelly’s Secondary School in Saanichton, BC). Tye’s application was one of four selected by the VPAC to go forward toF the Canada-wide competition.
The STLHE / SAPES website summarizes Tye’s application thus:
Tye defines leadership as a community action, arising out of a community setting with communitarian aims. He regards himself as both a leader and a citizen in a variety of diverse communities. As president of the University of Victoria’s English Students’ Association, Tye has led numerous initiatives to foster interconnectedness, fairness, and opportunity among his department’s diverse undergraduate student body. As an encoder and research assistant for Dr. Janelle Jenstad’s Map of Early Modern London (MoEML), a renowned digital encyclopedia, Tye has led a groundbreaking initiative to disseminate the project’s technical instructions, methods, and workflow practices to digital humanists worldwide. Moreover, as a student with physical disabilities, Tye challenges ableist stereotypes and asserts the value of accessibility and inclusion in the undergraduate classroom. Tye’s firm belief in the values of equality, self-actualization, democracy, and accessibility unites and guides his many efforts as a community leader. He identifies and intervenes when he sees these values threatened, unrealized, or underdeveloped in his communities. In this vein, Tye advocates for reforming the institutions and ideologies that isolate and oppress many undergraduate students on Canadian campuses. He believes that undergraduates can rejuvenate institutions of higher learning and transform their local and global communities.
Congratulations, Tye!
