Alison is a Full Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biomolecular Sciences and the Associate vice-provost, Academic Affairs, at the University of Ottawa. She is a 3M National Teaching Fellow, Canada’s highest recognition for excellence in education at the post-secondary level, and a member of the Global Young Academy. She recently received the Chemical Institute of Canada’s Award for Chemistry Education and is co-recipient of uOttawa’s Transition to Online Learning Leadership Award.

Her education work includes developing online learning tools as Open Education Resources to support student learning, including OrgChem101, a Growth & Goals Module (course-integrated FR, EN; course-independent FR, EN), and Preparing for a more inclusive course, and eBooks on remote teaching for educators (FR, EN) and TAs (FR, EN). Her research group studies student learning in organic chemistry and the impacts of the Growth & Goals module on students’ learning abilities in postsecondary contexts across disciplines and levels. She is currently collaborating with colleagues and graduate students across institutions to improve learning for graduate and postdoctoral settings; in that project we are first creating a open course to equip and empower graduate students with key professional skills related to: learning (including mentorship), mentorship, academic resilience, project management, and navigating difficult conversations. Our work is accomplished with generous support from a number of sources, including: SSHRC, NSERC, eCampusOntario, and uOttawa.

As Associate vice-provost, academic affairs, Alison chaired the university’s Strategic committee for teaching and learning supports and academic integrity committee. Both committees include representatives from multiple sectors of the institution (including students, of course!) and they play critical roles in supporting students, staff, and professors in rapidly changing times. Alison was a member of the Council of Undergraduate Studies, Senate Committee on Teaching and Learning Evaluation, and Working Group on Teaching Evaluation (composed of APUO and University members). She also takes part in various award selection committees. Alison is grateful in this position to have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide range of university committee members and threads EDI principles through all her work. In this role, she led the team that created a New Professors’ Guide (également disponible en français), guided a modernization of the institution’s Regulation on academic integrity and misconduct, helped improved our organizational processes for the academic module for ~10,000 new undergraduate students, incuding a 10-fold increase in student success rates in one year, and led the design of our academic integrity web pages and resources for students and professors, including for research. She was part of a working group for the University and APUO on teaching evaluation, a valuable opportunity to more equitably evaluate and support improved teaching (and learning!). A favourite part of the role, she created a Spotlight series on Teaching and Learning to showcase the incredible educators and their innovations, focussing on mental health and well-being, inclusive education, and strategic teaching decisions.

At the provincial level, Alison has been a Director on eCampusOntario’s Board; in that role she was involved in the early days of the organization and helped define the organization’s strategic and leadership directions. At the National level, she is the Canadian Society for Chemistry’s past Director of Accreditation; in that role, she led the modernization of the CSC’s accrediation guidelines, in which she used a transparent, participatory, and collaborative approach that resulted in new requirements including ones related to EDI and articulating student learning outcomes. As a Director on the CSC’s Board, she contributed to decisions related to EDI, the society’s structure, fiduciary oversight, and other strategic decisions, during a time of rapid change in the society. She is the inaugural Associate Editor for chemistry education research with the Canadian Journal of Chemistry, where she worked with the Journal to define the guidelines for CER manuscripts. She is also deputy chair of the Society for Teaching and Learning in Higher Education’s Committee on Academic Integrity and Contract Cheating.

Alison thinks about students' learning... a lot! She teaches courses in organic chemistry, biopharmaceutical sciences, and chemistry education; she also gives workshops in writing, building learning skills, and navigating difficult conversations. Alison uses learner-focused, evidence-informed course design; students often participate in co-designing course elements. She works hard to build equitable and inclusive learning spaces, collaborating and consulting with students to do so. Through all her work, she is committed to supporting students’ success toward their chosen careers and goals.

When not doing any of that, she likes to play ultimate, kayak, canoe, camp, bike, ski, coach a little soccer, ultimate, and hockey, and loves having a great time with her family.

Ph.D. Student

My research is focused on student reasoning in chemistry and the experiences of chemists from diverse language backgrounds. I am a member of the Chemical Institute of Canada’s Working for Inclusivity, Diversity, and Equity (WIDE) committee and was recently selected as a 2021 Vanier Scholar and 2022 CAS Future Leader. I'm a proud Chinese Canadian and British Columbian. I love running, basketball, and listening to and writing music.

Lauren McDermaid

Undergraduate Student

I am working with the Flynn Research Group in web design and development. I've completed my B.Sc. Major in Biochemistry at UOttawa where I am currently entering the final year of my dual degree, B.A.Sc. in Civil Engineering & B.Sc. in Computing Technology. Under the supervision of Dr. Stephanie Guilherme, I am working on my thesis studying Remote Northern Communities Drinking Water and Water Storage Cleaning Solutions. I am the 2022-2023 Engineering Student Representative for the UOttawa Senate, where I advocate for mental health and accessibility as foundations of education. My interests and hobbies include a variety of sports, camping, yoga, dog training, traveling, and the arts (drawing/sketching, painting, dancing, music, and writing).

Makayla Dagenais

Undergraduate student

I'm Makayla Dagenais, currently in my second year pursuing an Honours BSc in Psychology with a minor in Business at the University of Ottawa. My academic journey is driven by a passion for understanding the human mind and sciences, which directs my aspirations towards a future pursuit of medical school. My curiosity extends to the world of neuroscience, and I am currently engaged in shadowing a Ph.D. student involved in fMRI research. Beyond the academic realm, I am deeply committed to making a positive impact. I am actively involved in volunteering for UNICEF, contributing my time and efforts to support children's rights and well-being globally. As part of my commitment to financial literacy, I serve as an executive for Pennydrops Financial, where we strive to empower others through sound financial education. Excitingly, I am now a part of the Flynn Research Team, where I am eager to contribute and learn in the dynamic field of research. In my free time, you'll find me on the soccer field, enjoying the camaraderie of Footysevens soccer and when the snow falls, I relish the chance to hit the slopes and indulge in my passion for snowboarding.
