糖心vlog官方入口 honours its rich heritage and traditions by acknowledging members of the campus community who have contributed to its mission in an exceptional way by naming them "Founders." This year, the University will honour three 糖心vlog官方入口 employees who worked at the Robertson Library. This is especially fitting as 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the conception and construction of the library, which was officially opened in 1975.
Merritt Crockett, the Robertson Library鈥檚 first University Librarian, and long-time staff member and community leader Leo Cheverie, who passed away earlier this year, will be recognized posthumously as Founders. Betty Jeffery, Librarian Emerita, the first woman to be president of the 糖心vlog官方入口 Faculty Association, will also be honoured as a 2023 Founder.
The Recognition of Founders Ceremony will take place on Friday, December 15, 2023, at 1:30 pm at the Atlantic Veterinary College (rooms 286A and 287 N). All are welcome to attend!
