Mark Colvin wrote in his kudoboard nomination: Humongous and tremendous shout out to all of our Housing Team for moving in 5,100 students over the Labour Day weekend. Specifically, I wanted to thank Abby Weagant for stepping up and organizing the whole weekend and working tirelessly. With our facilities manager being off suddenly due to a long-term leave, Abby stepped up, took charge of the entire weekend and I don’t think slept over the full 3 days. SO KUDOS to Abby for stepping up and being AMAZING!

Congrats to our August “G” Thanks! Winner Mylene Corzo Lopez!

The COVID-19 pandemic has taught us a great deal about how remote work arrangements can create a successful and supportive work environment at the University of Guelph.

Remote work options in U of G’s current Flexible Work Arrangements (Non-Academic Staff) policy were implemented in 2021 as a temporary measure to address COVID-related lockdowns and the gradual return of employees to campus.
