President’s Distinguished Service Award

 

(I-r) President's Distinguished Service Award recipients Bonnie Bauder, Language,
Literature and Performing Arts; and Terry Leonard, Facilities Services.

Bonnie Bauder, Performing Arts Assistant, Faculty of Language, Literature
and Performing Arts, was recognized for her diligence internally and
externally during her time as Assistant Editor of Event magazine. Bauder
was commended for being a model of professionalism for other employees
and students, and understanding that the essence of Douglas College is our
students.

Terry Leonard, Director, Facilities Services, was recognized for his leadership
from inception to completion of the David Lam Campus Phase II Expansion.
His dedication, work ethic, high standards and resourcefulness as Project
Manager allowed the project to be completed on time and on budget. From
hard hat and steel-toed boots on site, to business suit at meetings with
Ministry and City officials, and finally to kilt and bagpipes at the Official
opening of the expansion, Terry has been an ambassador for the College.

The David Lam Health Sciences Move Team

The David Lam Health Sciences Move Team delivered a smooth transition in
moving nearly 130 employees during the 2007 Christmas break and preparing
for all classes to start at the new David Lam Health Sciences Building in
January, 2008. A huge amount of equipment from four labs had to be
disassembled and moved and thousands of students were affected — this crack
team of Facilities Department and Health Sciences employees ensured there
was no disruption in instruction.

Retirement party central

Employees had their daytimers filled with retirement celebrations last month.

In one day, employees party-hopped between celebrations for outgoing
Performing Arts Assistant Bonnie Bauder, Child, Family and Community
Studies Adminstrative Officer Kathleen Walden and Building Services Worker
Neil Douglas.

Left: Farewell No. 1 Building Services Workers bade farewell to their brethren Neil Douglas
in a fitting tribute. His colleagues were inspired by the Vancouver Canucks, who retired Trevor
Linden’s number and hung it from the rafters at General Motors Place.
