They are standout leaders who foster an inclusive environment, strive to excel while also pushing others to continuously improve.

Charlie Smith has continued to set the bar for our Office Administration Team. His flexibility in leading our team through Covid-19 while also continuing to possess a “can-do” attitude and willingness to pivot when new challenges present themselves has been critical in our department’s success.

Not only has Charlie excelled in his role as Senior Office Associate, but he has been instrumental in supporting all of DRS as our Student Fee Committee Representative. In this role, Charlie has helped to secure additional funding while also serving as a very strong advocate that has left a very positive impression with his colleagues and advisors of SFC. His service on SFC, the Board of Recreational Sports and in his role as a Senior Office Associate will leave a leave a lasting impact on Recreational Sports and he will not be soon forgotten. Thank you, Charlie for being a DRS Champion on so many levels.
