A full listing of Algonquin employees who have been nominated by their colleagues since "Kudos Corner" began.
2010 Updates to Come!
Joanne Kalman, Finance and Administrative Services: Joanne is a life-line to those in the College needing support with PeopleSoft. A senior financial analyst, whose work days extend long beyond those of most of us, Joanne always has the time to call back, walk folks through screens and generally field any inquiries regarding PeopleSoft.
Joanne is a real gem, always pleasant, client-centred and professional.
Thanks Joanne, for all you do!!

Judy Sayeau, now with Finance and Administrative Services: Judy was the support staff member in Financial, Office and Legal Studies. But she is did so much more than that. Judy was known and liked by students in the area, always there to guide and support them. Judy is a repository of information about the Colege which she willingly, pleasantly shared with anyone who needed assistance. She is a support staff mentor, providing a welcome and coaching to new support staff.
Always pleasant and willing to help, Judy is wearing a smile whenever I see her.

Mimma Santoro, Physical Resources: Mimma is a member of the client support team for Physical Resources. Among her many roles, Mimma provides administrative support to the Sustainable Algonquin Committee, coordinating the group's notes, meeting dates, events and multiple activities. She is the glue that holds this group together.
Thank you Mimma!
Sam White, AV Support: In the SME Management program, we have had many orientations and events held in Salon A or in the Staff Lounge. Sam has always helped to make them a success by setting up the equipment and being available. As well, most of these events have required him to be there as early as 7 am. I found that he is reliable and I know everything will be set up properly.
In e-classroom support, he has helped me out several times over the years when "things aren't working" before a class. Once a call is made, he is there quickly and always solves the problem.
Kudos to Sam!

Christine Chatelaine, CSR, College Switchboard: In a few words... always smiling and upbeat, generous and giving to all including the needy, acknowledging everyone’s birthdays, showing care and concern for setbacks and illnesses, going the extra mile to help callers and friends. She's a true asset to the College. Oh, and she organizes a pretty mean pot luck too! A real team builder.

Fred Maizan, Physical Resources: I have observed Fred and found despite the requests and complaints he hears ( and I know because I have given him both) he always remains professional and helpful beyond belief. I don’t know what I would have done without him in organizing the Summer Academy of the Arts. He was so incredibly helpful and made my life so much easier due to his assistance. He also made the College look very good by the impression he made on the students in the Summer Academy.
