Hospitality Services Staff of the Leonardo da Vinci Cafeteria selected as winners of the Engineering Award of Recognition by a Non-Engineering Employee


Gillian Smith, Sally Gilbrook, Cam Le, and Ana Paz accept their award at the annual Western Engineering Faculty & Staff Awards Dinner on Tuesday, June 7 at West Haven Golf & Country Club.

The Hospitality Services Staff of the Leonardo da Vinci Cafeteria, including Gillian Smith, Sally Gilbrook, Cam Le, Ana Paz, have been selected as the winner of the Engineering Award of Recognition by a Non-Engineering Employee. This annual award recognizes exceptional contributions to the Faculty of Engineering by individuals or teams from outside the Faculty within a particular calendar year.

This team contributes to providing the best student experience and makes Western a great place to work, learn and live. They regularly organize events such as holiday draws and Pumpkin Carving Contests to bring people together in Western Engineering.

Every time anyone visits the Leonardo da Vinci Cafeteria they make us forget we are at work for a few moments and remind us that we are not just a student or employee with an ID number, but we are people. All too often people routinely come to work, do their job, go home, and forget to acknowledge those around them or even say hello. We want to change that in Engineering. This team is leading the way. What is particularly amazing to us is that they do this naturally; we suspect they are not aware of the impact they have on this Faculty’s community. This award nomination lets us share our thanks with them.
