The Residential College is honoured to announce that Katie Gass, Marketing and Communications Specialist in the RC, has received the Kay Beattie Outstanding Individual Staff Award in the Social Sciences. 

This award “recognizes exceptional staff contributions to the success of the college”, honoring staff members who have been integral to the growth of individual colleges in the LSA.

After graduating from the RC in 2013, Katie returned to East Quad in 2022 as a staff member, and has since been an incredible mentor to RC students and staff, often connecting with RC faculty and maintaining alumni relationships, and organising alumni and career talks. 

Katie is well-informed on all events happening in the RC, and often goes out of her way to speak with the distinguished RC faculty and staff members. Since joining the Residential College’s staff team, Katie has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to the RC community, while delivering a high impact towards the digital growth and presence of the college.

A well deserved award, and congratulations to Katie!
