New Employee Award Recognizes Inclusion and Diversity Champions
Posted on Thursday, February 25th, 2021
Nominations are now being accepted for this year’s Employee Awards, including a new award recognizing an employee who has made Algonquin College “a more equitable, diverse, inclusive, and respectful institution.”
The Inclusion & Diversity Champion Award is a result of the work of the Inclusion and Diversity Circle. “We realized we have amazing employees who embody these values and we wanted to highlight and recognize them,” said Wadhah Almonaifi, program support officer at AC Online, an Inclusion and Diversity Circle member and member of the Employee Awards Working Group. “The College has many employees that set an example and strive towards inclusion.”
“This person is intentionally creating a sense of belonging and collectively promoting an environment where people can be their authentic self,” said Almonaifi. “The award demonstrates what this looks like in the College community and inspires people to do more. We want to highlight a person who champions inclusion and diversity.”
This award will be presented annually to an Algonquin College employee in recognition of excellence and action in demonstrating the value of equity and diversity in our College community.
