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.<\/p>\n
