The Vanier College Animal Health department is pleased to announce the fourth recipient of the Bauer Animal Health Award is Ms. Emmanuelle Beaulieu who received the award from the Animal Health Department on February 8th, 2023.
The Bauer Animal Welfare Award is given to a student entering their 6th semester of the Vanier Animal Health program who has consistently demonstrated outstanding commitment to animal welfare and care during the past 3 years via leadership, compassion and initiative.
The initiative for this award was spearheaded by Stephanie Laett in honor of former Vanier teacher and animal health technician Linda Campbell who dedicated 35 years to Vanier Animal Health. Bauer was one of Linda Campbell’s many canine companions who helped hundreds of students acquire a variety of nursing techniques over the years. Bauer passed away suddenly and peacefully in the fall of 2016, but his legacy will live on.
Bauer represented what it meant to be patient, forgiving, caring, and compassionate, traits he shared with his owner, Linda Campbell. As the unofficial mascot of the AHT department, it felt fitting to name this scholarship after Bauer both in his memory and in recognition of Linda Campbell's lifelong dedication to animal welfare and student success.
A commemorative plaque bearing an image of Bauer as well as the names of the present and future recipients will adorn the wall of the Animal Health Department for decades to come!
Congratulations to 2023 Bauer Animal Health Award winner, Emmanuelle Beaulieu.
