2020 Faculty and Staff Excellence Award Winners

It never ceases to amaze me every year when the winners are announced for our staff and faculty excellence awards. We always receive many nominations for the various awards, with all of them bringing something different to UFV in many different ways. But one thing that is consistent with them all is the dedication and commitment they bring to work with them every day to ensure that our students have the best learning experience possible. I am always reminded that every single employee, regardless of their position at UFV, plays a monumental role in the success of our university.

I encourage you to visit https://blogs.ufv.ca/blog/2020/05/16136/ to read the full stories on all of our award winners and learn about the amazing work they are doing and the top-notch service they are providing to the entire UFV community and beyond. I have worked here for over 31 years and there is no where I’d rather be — very largely because of colleagues like these!
