Celebrating Milestones

We recognize our regular part- and full-time staff members after every five years of service to the University. The newest addition to our program is a commemorative gift for part-time and full-time staff members who reach 5 years of regular service in recognition of their dedicated service to the University.

Beginning at 10 years of service, and every five years after that, regular part-time and regular full-time, staff members are honored at the Staff Recognition Reception. Those celebrating 25 or more years of service are also honored at the Recognition Dinner. These events are held in February/March and honor employees who reached a service anniversary in the previous calendar year. Invitations for these events are mailed to each honoreeÌÇÐÄ´«Ã½™s home address. As part of this celebration, all staff members observing a milestone anniversary are invited to choose a commemorative gift.
