Brainerd campus of CLC bestows honors
With less than one month before 2005 commencement ceremonies at Central Lakes College, the annual Awards Day for faculty, students and staff marks the home stretch of another academic year.
The Brainerd campus bestowed recognition in a short program April 14. The Staples campus does likewise Thursday. Graduation days are May 11 for Staples and May 12 for Brainerd.
The honors at Brainerd:
Outstanding Student -- Douglas "Buck" Ream, Westbank Journal editor the past two years and president of the CLC honor society, Phi Theta Kappa. He is a non-traditional age student who has been a fixture in student rights and communication issues.
Faculty of the Year -- As selected by the Student Senate, Jeff Wig of the accounting faculty was accorded the honor for involvement in college and community activities beyond the classroom that are always centered toward helping others meet their goals. Wig and his family are hosting Luisa Lucesoli, the CLC foreign exchange instructor from Argentina. He is a member of the Mid-Minnesota Federal Credit Union board of directors and works with entrepreneurs through the Business and Industry Center at CLC.
Staff of the Year -- Wendy Adamson of the academic affairs office, who has served the college community for 15 years as an assistant and more recently with specific responsibilities in scheduling and enrollment data. She is a graduate of the Minnesota School of Business and studied at Brainerd Community College. Nominators recognized her support of college athletics, particularly volleyball and basketball. Honorable mentions went to school nurse Glen Olsen and information specialist Steve Waller.
Student Employee of the Year -- Phil Olsen of Brainerd, a sophomore who has shown exceptional proficiency, positive attitude and commitment to service in the business office.
Club of the Year -- Upsilon Omega, the CLC chapter of the international two-year college honor society, Phi Theta Kappa.

The local PTK has won more awards in the past year than in all previous years of its existence in the area.
Adviser of the Year -- Shared by Terry Fairbanks and Dave Stumpf, instructors in the criminal justice program and co-advisers of the college Law Enforcement Club.
