In our latest installment of “Faculty of Arts Staff Spotlights”, where we feature the outstanding members of our Faculty’s administrative and support staff who are responsible for the magic going on behind the scenes, we are introducing our readers to Nicole Guedon, program administrator in the Dean's Office.
Nicole is a program administrator for graduate funding for all of the Arts' units and works primarily with Associate Dean (Research), Jason Opal.
This year, Nicole marks 20 years of service at McGill! We asked Nicole to tell us a bit about herself and what she likes to get up to during her free time.
1. What’s the most unique part of your job and why?
I appreciate how there really never is a dull moment. I love learning new things and my job changes day to day, so there are always opportunities to grow.
2. Think about how you’ve impacted your team’s success over the years. What lessons stand out to you?
The strong sense of camaraderie that I’ve experienced here, and how we continue to come together to reach our goals really underscores the importance of team work and cohesion. Team work really does makes the dream work, and that’s what’s on display here.
3. What are some hobbies or pastimes you enjoy during your free time?
I love spending time with my family and friends, especially travelling and eating together. When I’m by myself I really enjoy cooking, trying new recipes, reading a good book, and keeping up with current events.
