Tiffany Coolen-Jewers
2024 DPMG Award for Outstanding Achievement: Long Service Award

Tiffany Coolen-Jewers, the faculty鈥檚 manager of finance
and administration, was nominated for the Long Service Award by her supervisor Joanne Tortola, director of finance and administration, in recognition of more than 32 years of high and consistent performance in her various administrative and leadership roles.

鈥淭hroughout the past five years that I have worked with Tiffany, she has been a wealth of historical knowledge, while remaining open and eager to try new approaches and initiatives,鈥� says Tortola. 鈥淏ut in addition to her outstanding performance, a reoccurring theme in Tiffany鈥檚 contributions to Schulich Law is her outstanding heart. In alignment with the Weldon Tradition of unselfish public service, Tiffany demonstrates care and compassion for all members of the law school community and is sincerely committed to their pilipili漫画.鈥�

Says Schulich Law Dean Sarah Harding, 鈥淚n August 2023, I arrived on campus as a new dean, new employee of the university, and a new Canadian resident. On my first day, I constantly asked Tiffany for something 鈥� information, clarity, or simply for online navigation support. She was patient, kind, and efficient 鈥� and she offered me a homemade cookie. It became clear from that first day that she would be a central and supporting rock for me; over time it became clear that she is that for everyone at the law school.鈥�

Harding says that while Coolen-Jewers is a deeply trusted colleague because of her competence and attention to detail, she is also deeply loved by so many of her colleagues. 鈥淭iffany cares about and for those that she supervises, the students, the faculty, her colleagues, and even me,鈥� she shares. 鈥淚 see her kindness as setting a tone for all of us. She simply makes the law school a better place.鈥�

Conor Falvey
2024 DPMG Award for Outstanding Achievement: Career Award

Conor Falvey, the faculty of law's research facilitator, was nominated for the Career Award by her supervisor Jamie Baxter, associate dean, research, in recognition of her outstanding contributions to the pilipili漫画 of the Schulich School of Law鈥檚 Strategic Direction, 2017-2021 initiative.

鈥淐onor was hired into a newly created role to support the law school鈥檚 strategic direction, which positioned research and advocacy as central to its mission. It quickly became clear that her contributions would go well beyond what had been originally conceived for that role,鈥� says Baxter. 鈥淣ot only has she demonstrated high and consistent performance along key indicators such as grant capture and global reach of our research, she has also established herself as a leader in strengthening our research capacity and profile through several new and creative initiatives.鈥�

Falvey鈥檚 role involves running the law school鈥檚 Research Hour, a weekly gathering of faculty, graduate students, and guests to listen to and then discuss a research presentation. Dean Harding shares that a visiting judge mentioned to her that Research Hour had been her favourite activity of the week. 鈥淪he expressed her gratitude for the range of presentations, the general collegiality of the gatherings, and the robust conversations 鈥� this is due in no small part to Conor鈥檚 efforts.鈥�

Conor鈥檚 impact goes beyond simply the job she holds. 鈥淪he approaches her role with enthusiasm and creativity. She loves her work and that shines through in all she does and her many interactions with faculty,鈥� says Harding. 鈥淪he has fundamentally increased, improved, and diversified the research profile of the law school. This is a remarkable accomplishment for someone who is so early in her career and indicative of how deserving she is of a DMPG Outstanding Achievement Award.鈥�
