Eight deserving individuals will receive Staff Recognition Awards at the Principal’s Holiday Reception on Dec. 8.

The awards recognize staff members who consistently provide outstanding contributions to the learning and working environment at Queen’s at a level significantly beyond what is usually expected.

The 2015 Staff Recognition Award recipients include Kathy Baer, Gender Studies, Kimberley Bell, University Library Services, Andy Hooper, Information Technology Services, Agathe Nicholson, French Studies, Carol Noel, Biology, Tice Post, Biology, Kathy Reed, University Research Services, and Francoise Sauriol, Chemistry.

The presentation of the Staff Recognition Awards comes on the same day the university celebrates the contributions of all employees. Staff Appreciation Day will feature a number of events and activities including tours of the Isabel Bader Centre for the Performing Arts, Summerhill and Benidickson House, the Agnes Etherington Art Centre, the Miller Museum of Geology, the Queen’s Observatory and the Phytotron, which consists of six climate-controlled greenhouse compartments inside the Biosciences Complex.

There will also be free fitness classes at the ARC, including yoga, Pilates and an indoor cycle class. Lisa Sansom from the Organizational Development and Learning unit within Human Resources will host a positive psychology workshop at the digital interactive classroom in Ellis Hall. Queen’s employees can start their day with a free medium hot beverage at all Sodexo outlets.
