Pat on the Back Contest Recognizes
College Employees

Last month, as part of our 20th
Anniversary celebration, the Public
Information Office ran the Pat on
the Back contest in which Douglas
College faculty and staff members
were nominated for contributing
above and beyond the call of duty.
The winner, Sheri Walker, won a
three-day trip to Las Vegas. Below
are the other submissions, all worth
our recognition.

Chris Johnson - Who is at the
College morning, noon, or
night, weekdays and weekends?
Who volunteers his time to be a
Master of Ceremonies at various
events like the Alumni dinner
or serve as a director on the
Douglas College Foundation
Board? Who tries to ensure that
kids in the community have
good coaches and fun in their
sporting careers? Who brings
dedication and a smile to his
students? Who tells the worst
jokes besides Hank Naylor?
Chris Johnson! P.S. Please let
this man go to Las Vegas so he can
pick-up some better jokes.

Jean MacDonald - She remains
cool and calm at her job even
when the area gets busy. She
presents a pleasant and
informative manner when
dealing with the constant flow
of people asking her where,
why and how. She is deserving
of recognition.

Jack Kelly - ‘Cause he still
opens doors for ladies. ‘Cause
he is from the cretaceous era.
‘Cause he said if I didn’t pat
him on the back he would blast
me with his 457 magnum.

 

Tricia Bird - She works in the
Registrar's office at the front
counter. She is extremely
conscientious to assist with
enquiries and often goes out of
her way to find information for
students. Her job can be very
demanding and stressful at
times, but she maintains her
helpful attitude throughout.

Marilyn Attwood - Despite the
constant pressure of looming
deadlines in the Public
Information Office she keeps
her great sense of humour.
Marilyn also deserves a pat on
the back for being eager to learn
and for developing excellent
desktop design skills that
benefit the entire College.

Heather Campbell - Heather is
a great photographer. What's
more, she is always
accommodating. Heather
makes that extra effort to be on
location to take photos, then
works hard in the dark room to
meet short deadlines. Somehow
she manages to keep smiling
through the whole ordeal.

Renata Hucul - Renata is
consistently pleasant and
always willing to help in
anyway possible if other
departments require help.

Rob Linschoeten - Rob has
done a great job of opening up
1.M.S. and making it accessible
to the entire college community.
He is always available and open
to ways of making the work at
the College flow smoothly. He
definitely deserves a pat on the
back.

 

Jean Easton - Mainly because
she thought of others. She
always had time to listen -
whether the speaker was glad,
sad, or mad. She cared. She
thought of others when she
went out on a limb and ordered
clothing, cards and gift items for
the store that is supposed to
carry “books and stationery”.
It’s not only nice, it’s important
to have (have had) people like
Jean to help the positive image
of the College. She also gave a
lot of her time to be the
B.C.G.E.U. chairperson and was
diligent and honest in her
dealings with management and
staff. A perfect employee and
wonderful person.

June Anderson - Because she is
here every morning before 8:30
am, and sometime here ’til after
4:30 pm. If you’re feeling down
she brings you up with her high
spirits. She always wears a
smile even if she is grumpy.
She has the patience to deal
with some of the most difficult
people I’ve ever met.

Arnie Driver - Arnie, and his
fellow workers in the print
shop, have done a monumental
job over the past eight years -
extraordinary productivity,
service mindedness, and high
quality /accuracy of output.
They deal perpetually in rushes
and emergency situations with
aplomb and good nature.
