Ela Chala recognized for attitude, work ethic

Custodian Ela Chala is among the latest Western Washington University employees to be honored in the Western Way recognition program.

The program, begun in January, aims to recognize Western employees for their hard work on campus and to give their co-workers an opportunity to praise their efforts.

The submitter's comments about Chala:

You can always tell after Ela has been in our area, things are as clean and inviting as is possible. She is highly productive, truly getting the most out of every minute of every day. While she has a great work ethic, she also has an engaging heart as she always takes a moment to exchange greetings and wishes others the best. She is truly a person who makes a difference in her work. Thank you Ela!

-Steve Swan, Vice President, University Relations and Community Development

 

Any time throughout the year, folks in the WWU community can visit the Western Way website to recognize a Western employee who demonstrates excellence in serving students, visitors or colleagues, based on the characteristics that make them uniquely Western: inviting, engaging, distinctive, collaborative and adventurous.

Western Way Honorees are recognized online on the Western Way Wall of Acknowledgment, in the Western Today newsletter and in a slideshow at the Employee Recognition Ceremony in April.

To view more information on the nominees to date, visit the Western Way website at www.wwu.edu/westernway/.
