Valued Members & Staff

Lois continues to be great leader in the Department of Athletics through her various officiating and score keeping roles. The greatest impact she has on our Department is the energy and enthusiasm she brings to the Staff Recess League who play throwback school yard games at lunchtime. Lois is helping to contribute to the University’s commitment to Wellness at Work by facilitating a different recreational activity each week for staff. She emphasizes inclusivity by creating a positive culture within this program and all the participants love seeing her weekly!

“To me, UofG Athletics completely embodies the positive work culture that many companies strive for. I have never felt more cared for, supported and respected while working in Intramurals. This experience has allowed me to grow both professionally and personally.”-Loislane

Mohamed makes regular visits to the fitness centre and can always be found with a friendly smile on his face. He is very polite to staff and he emits a warm presence in the FC. He has been a member for over 2 years.

Mohamed notes “I joined because I really liked the facility and the layout. I like this gym because you have everything you could need to workout with. The staff are friendly and always willing to help.”

“Working in Athletics has been so rewarding. From being a part time student employee to becoming a full time staff member, I’ve loved my whole journey here at the University of Guelph. I can’t wait to see what the future of Gryphon Athletics looks like. “

Kevin is a 4th year student in environmental governance with a minor in political science. He was born and raised in Berlin, Germany and discovered his passion for fitness at age 18. “I always wanted to come live and study in Canada. From my many visits I simply fell in love with the stereotypical kindness and easy-going attitude of Canadians. The decision to work as a weight trainer supervisor was mostly based on me seeing it as an opportunity to work in a field of passion. Since then I have started the process of becoming a personal trainer as well. Working at the fitness centre has allowed me to deepen my passion for fitness and rewarded me with meeting so many nice members. It has been a truly a great environment to work in with some great co-workers I have had the pleasure of meeting along the way.”
