The Alumnae Association was pleased to present its 2015 Faculty-Staff Service Award to Richard Bourque, manager of printing services, and Hahrie Han, associate professor of political science.

Bourque, who has run the College’s printing services for more than two decades, was commended for his customer service and his attention to detail in working with the WCAA in preparing printed materials for reunion each year. “I can honestly say that we couldn’t pull this event off without Rick’s help,” said Liz Carey, WCAA director of alumnae marketing and communications. “He is more than our printer; he is our partner. I’ve worked for years with other printers, and no one can compare.”

Han was honored for her participation in the faculty speaker program and for lecturing at reunion. “The word has gotten around in our club network that Professor Han is an engaging, enthusiastic speaker, and thus, over the years, she has been one of the most requested speakers by our club leaders,” said Susan Lohin, WCAA director of alumnae connections, when she presented the award to Han. In the last eight years, Han has spoken to more than 15 clubs on the politics of social policy, civic engagement, political activism, health and environmental politics, and elections.
