We celebrate the talent and dedication of all regular employees who complete intervals of five calendar years of service, calculated on consolidated or continuous regular employment with a service award. During the Celebration of Service each fall, employees may pick up their award.
Your commitment to supporting our students and advancing the university's mission do not go unnoticed. You are the driving force behind our success.
— Chancellor Rodney D. Bennett
