Lethbridge College President and CEO Dr. Paula Burns takes a minute to check email in her office after stopping by with her new addition, Belle, one day this spring. Dr. Burns used the visit to introduce Belle to members of her team and show her a bit of campus (the pup seemed especially enthralled with the dried leaves blowing on the sidewalk in front of Centre Core). Belle, who weighed in at a pound-and-a-half when she came home with Dr. Burns, is a Yorkie. “Getting a puppy has been lots of fun – and yes, a bit of work, too – and I am enjoying getting to know her personality,” says Dr. Burns. “She’s full of life and energy and very loving.” Throughout the winter semester, employees could catch a glimpse of Belle online, especially during the virtual “Coffee with Paula” meetings held to help keep the college community connected while working remotely.
