The “McGee Award” Challenge
Marian McGee Dr.P.H. is a member of the Ottawa Valley Woodturners. Professionally, she is Professor Emeritus of the faculty of the University of Ottawa's School of Nursing.
Several years ago she was invited by the School to produce an award for excellence in advanced Theory of Nursing Science. The Award is given each year to a doctoral student selected by the awards committee of the School of Nursing.
It is becoming clear a plan must be developed to continue this tradition, since Marian has been officially retired from the Faculty for several years. The School of Nursing is eager to maintain and continue the legacy of the McGee Award.
In order to assist and support Marian, the Ottawa Valley Woodturners is creating an annual challenge open to the membership (both professional and amateur, old and new). The challenge is to create a turned object (preferably wood) that becomes the award that the selected doctoral student keeps.
The design is open, the size must be at least 2 inches x 6 inches or as large as the artist wishes.
The Challenge will take place at the annual Ottawa Valley Woodturners meeting in May of each year. A small committee will judge the submitted entries and the successful creation will be made available for the subsequent Awards Ceremony at the School of Nursing.
A picture of turner and the winning piece will be displayed on the Ottawa Valley Woodturners web site and the winner will have bragging rights for a year.
