Angielski to Receive 1999 President's Service
Award

Elaine Angielski, Administrative Officer for the Western College of
Veterinary Medicine, has been named the 1999 recipient of the
prestigious President's Service Award.

The award, established to recognize exceptional contributions by
non-academic staff, honours individuals who have enhanced the
work environment by providing extraordinary service to the
University community.

Elaine Angielski has served the W.C.V.M. and the University for 35
years and has filled the role of Dean's Secretary for every dean in the
College's history. As well, Elaine continues to serve as Administrative
Officer for Admissions, Faculty and General Administration.

In addition to her administrative excellence, Elaine has gained fame
for her legendary commitment to the students of the W.C.V.M. She
often telephones potential veterinary students on weekends, when
they were more likely to be home, in an attempt to arrange
admission interviews. Elaine also devotes endless hours to counseling
applicants in their efforts to gain admission. As a result, Elaine was
chosen Honourary President of the Western College of Veterinary
Medicine Students Association, and was the first recipient of the
W.C.V.M. Distinguished Employee Award in 1997.

In the words of one co-worker, "Elaine's honesty and integrity have
inspired the respect of all who know her."

Adds a W.C.V.M. professor, "(Elaine) has been the co-pilot of the
Western College of Veterinary Medicine since its inception. The
College as it is today is, in significant measures, the work of her
hands."

Elaine will be honoured with the President's Service Award during
Spring Convocation ceremonies which commence May 25.
