We are honoured to share that Dr. Evelyn Steinhauer, Associate Dean of Indigenous Teacher Education, has been recognized with the Killam Award for Excellence in Mentoring, celebrating her exceptional commitment to mentorship across undergraduate and graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and emerging scholars.

Dr. Steinhauer’s recognition speaks to what so many within ATEP already experience daily: mentorship that is deeply relational, grounded in care, and sustained through a lifelong commitment to Indigenous teacher education. As she so powerfully describes in her own words, mentorship is not separate from teaching, leadership, or research; it is a relational responsibility rooted in nêhiyaw teachings of kinship, wâhkôhtowin. It is carried through everyday acts of presence, encouragement, guidance, and advocacy, especially in moments when students are navigating uncertainty, transition, or challenge.

Within ATEP, Dr. Steinhauer has long been a guiding presence, our North Star, shaping how we understand what it means to support learners not only academically, but as their whole selves. Her mentorship practice reflects and uplifts ATEP’s guiding values: relational accountability, respect, reciprocity, and a deep commitment to student flourishing. She models what it means to build learning environments where Indigenous students are not only supported, but truly recognized for the strength of their languages, histories, responsibilities, and ways of knowing.

Her impact extends far beyond individual relationships and the University of Alberta. Through her leadership, countless students, colleagues, and emerging teachers and educational professionals have been supported into their own roles as teachers, researchers, and community leaders. In this way, her mentorship continues to move forward through generations, woven into classrooms, communities, and futures yet to come.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Dr. Steinhauer on this well-deserved recognition and our gratitude for the steady, thoughtful, transformative, and always loving way she continues to shape ATEP and Indigenous teacher education at the University of Alberta.
