Honor stellar colleagues with Western Way award

Western Today staff

Do you work with an outstanding colleague at Western Washington University? Nominate him or her for special honors in the聽, which aims to recognize Western employees for their hard work on campus and to give their co-workers an opportunity to praise their efforts.

Recent nominee Karl Klokkevold, a custodian working in Student Activities in the Viking Union, was praised for his attitude by nominator Doug Adelstein:

"Karl Klokkevold is a steady, kind and positive presence in and around the VU. According to Karl, each day is the best day of his life. In a 20 second interaction with Karl in passing, I feel better about myself and about Western. As he works each day to keep the VU safe, clean and inviting, Karl's attitude makes Western a better place!"

Any time throughout the year, folks in the 草榴社区 community can to recognize a Western employee who demonstrates excellence in serving students, visitors or colleagues, based on the characteristics that make them uniquely Western: inviting, engaging, distinctive, collaborative and adventurous.

Western Way honorees are recognized online on the Western Way Wall of Acknowledgment, in the Western Today newsletter and in a slideshow at the Employee Recognition Ceremony in April.
