Amanda Bradford-Janke<\/strong> is a dedicated steady hand and an invaluable team member and colleague who is always available to share her experience and advice. When problems have arisen, she has been available with advice on how to solve them, ensured that resources were available to address them, and made herself available personally to help. She is an extremely valued member of the Sprott School of Business, and we recognize the valuable contributions that she brings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our days come into contact with at least one if not more of the things that Allison Jaworski<\/strong> has implemented or has made sure is in place in the back end, much of the time without us knowing that it exists because of her\u2026 Allison not only serves the best interests of the Faculty of Science but also thinks big in supporting Carleton\u2019s interests as a whole. Her dedication to service excellence \u2026 and her role as a supportive and dependable colleague, serves as a model for others within the academic and administrative spheres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sandy Mazereeuw’s<\/strong> responsiveness and deep knowledge of the institution has had an immeasurable impact on my role in launching the online MBA program modality\u2026The impact this new modality had on other units on campus, such as Student Accounts was unanticipated. Sandy has been incredible to work with as we navigate and develop new approaches to ensure accuracy, as well as a positive student experience for this large population. Sandy has a unique ability to identify potential issues, flag them, and already have a potential solution in mind. I cannot say enough about Sandy\u2019s helpful, can-do attitude.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The entire team and student staff (PASS and CSAS placement students) enjoy working with her and feel comfortable approaching Amanda Seed<\/strong> for any support or questions\u2026Amanda is positive, caring and committed to helping make Carleton a better place. She is always looking for new ways to ensure student staff have the best positive experience with PASS. She is lovely to work with, and her attitude and disposition create an inviting environment for anyone accessing CSAS services.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n \n

The Honorary Service Excellence Award is a rare honor, bestowed upon only three previous recipients in its history. This prestigious award celebrates an individual who lives and breathes the Service Excellence Standards in their daily work at the university. This year, the award is being given posthumously to Danny Brown<\/strong>, who sadly passed away on January 8, 2024. Though no longer with us, Danny\u2019s legacy lives on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Director of Enterprise Applications for the ITS team, Danny demonstrated inspirational leadership and foresight in shaping Carleton\u2019s web presence over the past 15 years. He was nominated for a remarkable 12 awards during his tenure, receiving one individual recognition \u2013 a testament to his collaborative spirit as the ultimate team player. Danny\u2019s vision and dedication to excellence made an indelible impact, and for that, we honor his memory with this special award.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n \n

The CU Therapy Dog program is an evidence-based program with demonstrable positive impacts including stress reduction, a decrease in anxiety and depression, and increased happiness. I often have walked by a large crowd on campus and wondered, \u201cwhat\u2019s going on?\u201d only to realize there was a dog therapy session underway\u2026Being around the dogs is a contagious joyful experience! The CU Therapy Dog program has had a tremendously positive impact on the entire campus community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n\n\n
