The Award honours a faculty member who, in the opinion of their students, alumni and/or colleagues, has displayed the qualities of an outstanding teacher. Specific criteria for the Award include:

- specification of performance standards and stimulation of students to reach those standards;
- ability to communicate effectively;
- accessibility to students outside class;
- development of rapport with students;
- utilization of evaluation methods which assess the higher levels of learning.
Dr. Harrison’s nominators praised her work in dental education both locally and nationally.

As Division Chair of Pediatric Dentistry, Dr. Harrison also developed a research program in health promotion and access to care. Dr. Harrison’s students consider her an exceptional educator, an individual who “models the skills, knowledge and attitudes to which they aspire”.
