Andrew Martin    Faculty of Law

When we first started working remotely at the beginning of the pandemic, Andrew Martin, a faculty member in the Law School, reached out to me and ever since then we have been in contact, offering support to each other. I truly appreciate Andrew's kind gesture and it has helped so much with the isolation of living and working alone!

A HUGE acknowledgement to the Faculty of Science's communications team, who worked diligently this past year to make the lives of students and our community rich and engaging.

Teresa Walsh     Rowe School of Business, Faculty of Management

Teresa is one of the best kept secrets at Dal. She's been at Dal for more than 30 years, yet she remains very humble about her work. Always professional and kind, efficient and caring, she's our "go to" staff for many requests, often made last minute. Most importantly to me, she welcomes EVERYONE the same. Consistent throughout all these years, she's certainly one of the individuals that exemplify to me the best that Dal has to offer. Teresa, I am so grateful to have you as a colleague. Thank you for being the wonderful human being you are!

The willingness and efficiency in which Michelle, Rebecca and Lisa have taken on new tasks while working remotely has been greatly appreciated.

Lisa stepped in to assist my team during the the pandemic as well on a part-time basis. Thank you all for your hard work.
