Brittany Bennett, Data Coordinator, Student Services 

Brittany Bennett has hit the grounding running from day one. Brittany is the first to lend a helping hand, even if it’s above and beyond her responsibilities. Brittany is compassionate and quick to offer advice and support when colleagues need it most. She is a team player and is always trying to find the most efficient way to fulfill her role. She is innovative and supportive, and advanced clinical services (ACS) are lucky to have her. Thank you, Brittany, for being an exceptional member of Team CCIU, and congratulations on being recognized as an Employee of the Month!

Jenny DeVitis, Administrative Assistant, TCHS Pickering 

Often the first person anyone comes into contact with, Jenny, is the face and the voice of TCHS Pickering. She is kind-hearted, conscientious and truly loves her job. Jenny greets each person who comes through the door or front office at TCHS with a smile on her face. She always goes beyond the scope of her job to make sure students and staff have what they need.

Vicki exemplifies the true meaning of commitment. She has been a dedicated and loyal employee of the CCIU for almost 35 years! She is always there to support anyone in the operations department and beyond. Vicki is a positive member of Team CCIU and is consistently attentive to the many requests she receives every day.

For all these reasons and more, congratulations Vicki for being recognized as a March Employee of the Month! 

On behalf of the CCIU, I would like to thank each of our Employees of the Month for the impact they continue to make at the CCIU. We are lucky to have them as members of Team CCIU and I am thrilled to recognize their contributions. Congratulations again, Brittany, Kendra, Jenny and Vicki!
