Announcing the award at Convocation, Vince Durnan described "Dr. Fitz," as he is known to students, thus:
"We celebrate someone with deep subject knowledge, with a transitive property capacity to share that love of subject with students regardless of prior interest, someone who is really good, and I quote from student comments “at explaining stuff.” We celebrate an old-school personality with new concept interests and curiosity that ends up being avant-garde, a pioneer with a pick and shovel work ethic."
