"2007" Recipient Support Staff Award for Excellence

Denise Raymond

Denise Raymond,

Denise Raymond has been working for the Faculty of Education for
16 years. Her first position was academic administrator for the Teacher Education and Formation à l’enseignement programs; in no time, her professionalism, organizational skills and sense of commitment established her reputation as a key resource person.

In year 2000, Denise Raymond moved into the position of academic services office for undergraduate and professional-development programs—again, her reliable, conscientious approach has proven invaluable to successive program heads and directors, who have all found comfort and guidance thanks to her wise counsels. Joanne Chartrand, of the Academic Secretariat, maintains, in fact, that Denise “is a walking encyclopedia of Faculty knowledge and history.”
Claire Maltais adds that “with Denise, nothing’s impossible.” Not surprising, then, that folks call on her so often. Through her sense of responsibility and her organizational savvy, Denise Raymond creates a work setting where both order and respect are front and centre, making goals and targets all the easier to achieve. On top of it all, she excels at client service.
When Raymond Proulx took up the position of program coordinator for the technology studies certificate in teacher education, Denise Raymond gave countless hours to help things get off the ground. Mr. Proulx looks back on the efforts in great admiration: «I can’t begin to describe how helpful her advice and how unwavering her support were.» Denise Raymond has in fact been helping the initiative keep on track now for five years.
For her outstanding display of professionalism and the remarkable quality of her work, the Faculty of Education is honoured to present the 2007 Support Staff Award of Excellence to Denise Raymond.
