Each year, Macdonald Campus formally honours a member of the Administrative and Support staff who demonstrates outstanding performance and contribution in support of the promotion and development of the Macdonald Campus and Community both in the execution of their duties and in the effort and commitment towards service. This award recipient will truly have made a difference to Macdonald Campus life.
This award is open to all members of the Administrative and Support Staff who have been on staff on the Macdonald Campus for a minimum of three years and who work on the Macdonald Campus at the time of nomination. Permanent part-time, permanent sessional and term appointment staff may be considered for the award; the length of service for these staff must be equivalent to three years full-time on the Campus.
Le campus Macdonald honore officiellement chaque année un membre du personnel administratif et de soutien qui a obtenu un rendement exceptionnel et qui a contribué à la promotion et au développement du campus Macdonald et de la communauté dans l’exécution de ses responsabilités et dans ses efforts et sa collaboration aux services. Le lauréat de ce prix devra avoir eu un réel impact sur la vie du campus Macdonald.
Ce prix peut être décerné à tout membre du personnel administratif et de soutien à l’emploi du campus Macdonald depuis au moins trois ans et qui y travaille au moment de sa mise en candidature. La candidature des employés occupant un poste permanent à temps partiel ou un poste permanent saisonnier et du personnel nommé pour une période déterminée sera également étudiée; ces candidats doivent toutefois avoir cumulé des états de services équivalant à trois ans à temps plein au campus Macdonald.
2024 Recipient: Francine Lacelle, Administrative Supervisor, Farm Management and Technology Program
Francine Lacelle has been a dedicated member of the Farm Management and Technology (FMT) Program administration since 1991, when she began her career at Macdonald Campus. Her position may have changed over the past three decades, but Francine has consistently remained an invaluable contributor to the smooth operation of both the daily business and special events at the department. Her unwavering can-do attitude, professionalism, and cheerful demeanor make her not only a very productive worker but also a great team player and cherished colleague.
Without dedicated staff like Francine, Macdonald Campus and McGill University would not be the world-class institution it is. Francine Lacelle embodies the true collaborative spirit of Macdonald Campus, and the close-knit nature of the Macdonald Campus Farm and FMT program relationship, for these reasons, we formally recognize her contributions to our community.
