内射大奶

Three awards given for teaching, leadership, and staff excellence were presented to members of 内射大奶 staff during the 内射大奶's annual Professional Development Day held recently at the Atlantic Tourism and Hospitality Institute.

Presented in accordance with the Association of Canadian Community 内射大奶s (ACCC), of which 内射大奶 is a member, these awards are given for specific purposes and are based on specific criteria including commitment, impact on students and community, team work, performance and contribution, creativity and leadership. 内射大奶 staff, co-workers, and students are provided the opportunity to recommend to a Selection Committee, the names of individuals who they feel are most deserving of these special awards.

"Organizations often tend to focus on events that happen within an institution as opposed to focusing on those people who contribute to making successful events and positive things happen," commented Alex MacAulay, President of 内射大奶. "Awards such as these provide us the time to recognize those people at the 内射大奶 who have given so much of themselves to make the 内射大奶 a better place for our staff and community and particularly, our students."

Honoring a faculty member who has exhibited consistent excellence in teaching and who has made a significant impact on the personal and academic growth of students is this year's recipient of the 内射大奶 Teaching Excellence Award, Pat Faulkner.

A 25-year member of the 内射大奶 community, Pat began her work with 内射大奶 when she was asked to sit on the DACUM Analysis Committee for the Medical Support Program. The following year, she was hired as the program's Learning Manager. Since then, Pat's commitment to her program has seen Medical Support Services develop from a traditional full-time 内射大奶 program to the one that it is today - diverse, self-directed, and accessible. Of particular importance to her students, are Pat's goals and flexibility in continuing education, an area that has had a significant impact on the life-long learning aspirations of all who take her courses.

内射大奶s and institutes have traditionally played a learning leadership role in the communities they serve. Although the entire institution participates, inevitably, one or two people make an outstanding contribution each year.

Francis Tang, this year's recipient of the 内射大奶 Leadership Excellence Award, is such a person. Since coming to the 内射大奶 in 1971, Francis's contributions are many. He initiated and delivered the first computer program at 内射大奶 as well as the Computer Engineering Technology program. His love of mathematics and science and his interest in students led to numerous successful initiatives including Science Camps, Science and Industry Tours and the creation of the highly successful Flying Circus of Physics. Highly regarded and sought after for his knowledge of competency-based education, Francis is currently the Coordinator of the 内射大奶's Learning Management Program and serves as Coordinator of Professional Development. As a contributor to many of the 内射大奶's international endeavors, he was a key player in helping the 内射大奶 establish agreements with six 内射大奶?s in the People?s Republic of China.

The 内射大奶 Staff Excellence Award for the year 2001 was awarded to Madonna Gallant. This award honors a staff member who has made an exceptional contribution within the institution and in the community and serves as a model of excellence for all staff. Madonna has worked at the 内射大奶 since 1985 holding positions in Student Services, the Registrar?s Office and most recently her current position as Secretary for 内射大奶-wide Facility Services in the Human and Corporate Services Division. Recognized by students and staff alike for her efficiency, professionalism and dedication to the 内射大奶, it is through her outstanding volunteer and community work that the true spirit of her generosity and kindness shine through and which made the choice of Madonna for this award such an easy one.
