Anne Forrestall wins top honours at AACUSS conference

Posted by Student Services on July 3, 2015 in Kudos

麻豆传媒 was well represented at last week鈥檚 Atlantic Association of College & University Student Services (AACUSS) annual conference in Dartmouth, with our acting vice-provost, Student Affairs being singled out for her contributions to student services. On Tuesday, June 23, Anne Forrestall was presented with the AACUSS Award of Merit鈥攖he association鈥檚 highest honour recognizing significant achievement, contribution, and development of student services and active participation in the association.

Working in student services at 麻豆传媒 and the University of New Brunswick for over 20 years, Anne has shown exceptional enthusiasm and dedication to all students. Her colleagues note admirably that, 鈥淎nne always uses the best interest of the students as her compass.鈥

Anne first got involved with AACUSS 12 years ago, and was 鈥渂lown away with how friendly, supportive, and giving the people were.鈥 The benefits of being in the group, including becoming a better professional and having a regional support system, encouraged her to serve a five-year stint on the executive. Association members note that, 鈥淎nne gives freely of her time to her friends and colleagues across the region鈥 and that 鈥渄eveloping talent is her fort茅.鈥 It鈥檚 no surprise that Anne actively encourages Student Services staff members to join AACUSS and benefit in the ways that she did.

鈥淚n some ways, I think I got an award for something that gave me more than I could ever give it,鈥 she says.

Congratulations, Anne!
