2004-2005 Annual Service Awards Ceremony

The 38th Annual Service Awards ceremony will be held on Monday, October 31, 2005, in the Price Center Ballroom. This year, we celebrate 608 staff members who have achieved 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service during the period from September 1, 2004 to August 31, 2005.

The ceremony begins at 2:30 p.m. and will include presentations of awards and certificates of appreciation to 146 employees with 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service. Employees with 10, 15 and 20 years of service will be recognized from the platform and receive certificates of appreciation.

Vice chancellors, department heads and supervisors will be provided a list of this year's awardees. This is a wonderful opportunity to honor the contributions of these staff members, and supervisors should encourage awardees to attend the ceremony.

The University has been immeasurably enriched over the years by the commitment of these dedicated staff members. I thank each of them for their service and look forward to acknowledging their contributions at the ceremony.
