WWU video wins Public Service Recognition Week honors

A video submitted by Western Washington University to the state's Public Service Recognition Week video and essay contest was named one of the best 10 from nearly 130 entries.

The week, sponsored by the Office of Financial Management and Office of Secretary of State, celebrates the work of public employees statewide.

Western's entry is above. This video showcases all of the winning entries; in addition to being placed on the Public Service Recognition Week website, it will be featured at the Why Washington? Employee Value Proposition booth at the recognition week event in Olympia on May 4.

Those at Western who participated in the video are invited to meet Go. Jay Inslee at the Executive Residence. Sarah Crawford and Dennis Dashiell from Human Resources coordinated the video. Appearing in the video are Maria Paredes Mendez, Enrique Castro, June Fraser Thistle, Kate Stevenson, Ted Pratt and Max Bronsema. The video was produced by ATUS Media Services in the university's new Digital Media Center in Haggard Hall.
