Staff PD awards given

Two recipients have been announced for
professional development awards funded by an
anonymous gift to the College. The gift of $250 was
specified to be awarded to a support staff employee
who, having made an outstanding contribution to the
College, wished to engage in a professional
development activity, and the management
adjudication committee split the award between two
worthy recipients.

Marjorie Croft, from Business Management, will be
attending a one day “Executive Skills for Women”
seminar. And Lynne Kroetlinger (Natural Sciences)
will be taking an evening English course this spring
as a prerequisite to study in U.Vic’s “Diploma in
Public Sector Management” prograrn.
Congratulations, both.
