Queen’s employees who have reached milestone achievements of continuous service were recognized by the university during the annual Celebration of Service on Thursday May, 4.
A total of 131 staff and faculty members were honoured for their contributions while reaching employment milestones of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 years at Queen’s during the ceremony at Ban Righ Dining Hall.
This year’s event was highlighted by Bonnie Brooks' achievement of reaching the 50-year milestone.
After arriving at Queen’s in 1967 to work as a typist in the order department at Douglas Library, Ms. Brooks became an intermediate clerk in the Interlibrary Loans Department in January 1968 and then joined the Special Collection Department in January 1969. That July she returned to the Interlibrary Loans Department as the interlibrary loans coordinator, a position she has held for 48 years.
“Forty-eight years as the interlibrary loans coordinator – I love this job, I find it rewarding,” Ms. Brooks said at the event. “I believe it to be one of the most, if not the most, interesting jobs in the library. I enjoy the interaction with the Queen’s community from professors to students to staff. It has been amazing to see the changes that have taken place in the last 50 years.”
The dinner event, attended by the recipients, their families and friends, as well as Principal Daniel Woolf, was hosted by Dan Bradshaw, Associate Vice-Principal (Human Resources).
