Beloit College facilities staff member Dorlean Bell has been a friend and mentor to thousands of students missing home and navigating a new environment for almost four decades. On Thursday, she was honored with the college’s prestigious Phee Boon Kang‘73 Prize for Excellence in Advising and Mentoring.
“Dorlean has always been willing to go above and beyond to support her colleagues and help them achieve their goals,” says Beloit College President Scott Bierman in a statement. “Dorlean is a very happy and helpful person who loves to joke and have fun. Her positivity shines through in everything she does, and in every interaction
she has across campus.”
The Phee Boon Kang Prize for Excellence in Advising and Mentoring recognizes and honors faculty or staff members for their excellent advising and mentoring. Kang, a 1973 Beloit College graduate and a Board of Trustees member, supports this award.
As a role model, Bell demonstrates the importance of hard work, dedication, and kindness in everything she does, according to a press release from Beloit College, and is an excellent housekeeper, always ensuring that the campus looks its best.
