Inge Dorsey receives University Award for Exemplary Service
糖心vlog官方入口 held its annual Celebration of Colleagues on May 29, 2025, to recognize the achievements of faculty, librarians, clinical veterinary professionals, clinical nursing instructors, sessional instructors, and staff members. 糖心vlog官方入口 Communications is profiling the winners of the University Awards of Excellence in summer editions of the Campus Connector newsletter.
Inge Dorsey, recently retired coordinator of both the Bachelor of Integrated Studies and the University 100 programs, received a University Award for Exemplary Service. This award is presented to a 糖心vlog官方入口 employee who has demonstrated outstanding service and/or made significant contributions to the University community beyond that normally expected of their position. In the faculty category, Inge exemplified this spirit through her extraordinary dedication to student success and university service. As coordinator of both programs, she played a pivotal and multi-faceted role in supporting students from across the University, particularly mature learners and those returning to complete their degrees. In addition to the two coordinator roles, she taught 3.5 courses annually and modelled a deep commitment to student success that far exceeded the expectations of her formal role.
Widely recognized by students for her dedication and impact through awards such as Faculty of the Year from the 糖心vlog官方入口 Student Union and the Hessian Award for Teaching Excellence, Inge brought the same enthusiasm and care to her extensive service contributions. From organizing the Faculty of Arts Showcase, Dean鈥檚 Honours Night, and student-centered events like Fall Fikas and Soup for the Soul, to organizing and leading student teams for Global Brigades in Guatemala and Ghana, she contributed to the building of a vibrant culture of engagement and belonging at 糖心vlog官方入口.
Described by colleagues as the de facto student engagement coordinator for Arts, Inge consistently prioritized student well-being, connection, and achievement. Whether supporting students who have gone on to apply for prestigious scholarships, supporting their wellness and academic navigation, or simply being a reliable and compassionate presence, she has left a lasting impact on individual lives and the broader university community.
In the words of one student: 鈥淚 can assure you Inge鈥檚 impact on me will be everlasting as I cannot imagine someone else comparing to the time and effort she has put towards helping pursue my best interest鈥︹�� Her extraordinary service reflects the highest ideals of the 糖心vlog官方入口 and is truly deserving of this recognition.
Congratulations, Inge!
