John Peace Part-Time Faculty Teaching Award
2023-2024 Winner

Hjalmar Turesson
Deloitte Data Scientist
Adjunct Professor, Master of Business Analytics and
Master of Management in Artificial Intelligence
Schulich is proud to announce that Hjalmar Turreson, Adjunct Professor, Deloitte Data Scientist and Associate Director of the Master of Management in Artificial Intelligence (MMAI) Program, has been named the recipient of the 2024 John Peace Part-Time Award.
Julian Scott Yeomans, Professor of Operations Management and Information Systems and Director of Schulich’s MMAI Program, wrote a letter nominating Hjalmar for the award. In his letter, Professor Yeomans described Hjalmar as a “highly valued colleague who quietly and competently gives his very best to the MMAI and to his students every day.”
Professor Yeomans also noted the consistently strong teaching ratings Hjalmar has received during the time he has been an instructor at Schulich, and the state-of-the-art knowledge that he brings to the classroom – an incredible achievement given the rapid advances in AI over the past several years. He particularly lauded Hjalmar’s dedication to assisting students with their 8-month industry consulting projects – a mandatory component of the program in which students apply AI skills learned in the classroom to assist with real-world business needs – and pointed out that many of the students end up being hired by their host companies following graduation. Said Professor Yeomans: “This success would simply be impossible without Hjalmar.”
Congratulations to Hjalmar Turreson for winning this year’s John Peace award – a well deserved accomplishment for his outstanding teaching and numerous contributions to our School over many years.

Teaching Awards FAQ
Recent change to the administration of the TEA Rating process:
The ONCE course evaluations and TEA rating survey have now been combined into one convenient questionnaire requiring only one login for students. Students no longer need to access two separate portals in order to submit their ONCE course evaluations or rate their instructors for a Teaching Excellence Award. Change is effective Fall 2021.
