Three Northern Essex Community College employees Stacy Ayotte of Exeter, NH, Duane Quinion of Westport Island, ME, and Cheryl Wilson of Chelmsford recently received the NECC Employee Recognition Award for the first quarter of 2015.<\/p>\n

The Employee Recognition Award recognizes the many and varied contributions of the college\u2019s nearly 700 employees.

Ayotte, an assistant professor in the Health Professions Department for the last three years, is the program coordinator for the Medical Laboratory Technology Program and \u00a0also chair of the Laboratory Science Department.<\/p>\n

Colleague Brenda Salines nominated Ayotte noting, \u201cStacy is a joy to work with everyday\u2026 She is responsible for our newly acquired accreditation with National Accrediting Agency for Medical Lab Techs\u2026She worked tirelessly for 3 years to make this happen and it may never have been accomplished without her tenacity.\u201d<\/p>\n

She holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Medical Technology from Anna Maria College and a Master of Education in Elementary Education from Lesley College.<\/p>\n

Quinion has taught at NECC for the last five years in the Respiratory Care Program. He became an associate professor last year.<\/p>\n

He was nominated by fellow respiratory care professor Christopher Rowse, who lauded Quinion saying \u201cI have observed Duane directly in his teaching abilities and interaction with his students\u2026He is a pleasure to observe in his teaching because of his genuine nature with his students and his easy going humor. He is able to put students at ease and has the ability to bring out the best in his students. He possesses a genuine empathy for students and his fellow colleagues. He is both a thoughtful and methodical teacher making sure he covers all important topics.\u201d<\/p>\n

He holds a Bachelor of Arts in History from Bethel University and a Master of Theological Studies from Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary. He earned a certificate in respiratory care from NECC in 1980.<\/p>\n

A disability services specialist, Wilson has worked in NECC\u2019s Learning Accommodation Program for nine years.<\/p>\n

Wilson was nominated by several colleagues in the Learning Accommodations program. Deborah Regan wrote \u201cCheryl Wilson works primarily with students with psychiatric disabilities, who may experience crises.\u00a0 As a result, she is often faced with students needing to be seen on short notice or no notice. She is very empathetic and goes above and beyond for these students, accompanying them to such offices as Financial Aid, the CPAC or the Bursar, to help resolve their problems.\u201d<\/p>\n

Fellow worker Cara Forcino wrote, \u201cCheryl is very dedicated to Northern Essex Community College students \u2026 She is there in times of crisis and in times of celebration. I have seen her students grow from fearing school to graduating with pride.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Susan Cunningham, associate director of the Learning Accommodations Center also supported the nomination saying, \u201cShe has a friendly, outgoing style and is well liked by students, staff and faculty. Her experience and knowledge in the field of disability services and in particular working with students with psychiatric disabilities are a great asset to our team\u2026She puts a lot of effort into making sure that students get quality services.\u201d<\/p>\n

Wilson received praise for her patience and thoughtfulness from Deb McKinney, manager of Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services. \u201cShe seems always willing to learn something new and share with us…She is a team player.\u201d<\/p>\n

Colleague Cathy A. Morrow wrote, \u201cOne thing that I think about when I think of Cheryl is the touch of humor she brings to the office, sometimes laughter is the best medicine.\u201d<\/p>\n

Susan Martin, director of Learning Accommodations praised Wilson\u2019s curiosity and for often challenging the “status quo” when it comes to office procedures and policy. \u201cShe is honest and sincere with students, fellow staff, and faculty members. She has a witty personality and can lighten the moment when needed!\u201d<\/p>\n
