Administrative assistant, Department of Philosophy
Video of presentation of The Western Award of Excellence to Elisa Kilbourne
Referred to many times as the “backbone of the department,” ask anyone in the Philosophy Department about Elisa Kilbourne and the narrative will include phrases like “unwavering dedication,” “tireless efforts” and “forever in her debt.” Kilbourne is involved with a number of service projects at Western including Relay for Life, heading United Way fundraising in the department and participation in the university’s Alternative Spring Break service project. With the physical move of the department in 2009, Kilbourne's dedication to keeping the department running speaks to her rare personal and professional qualities. She coordinated normal department functionings around renovations, liasioned with the construction crews and assisted faculty, graduate and undergraduate students who, admittedly, could not have made such a transition without Kilbourne’s capableness.
