2005-2006 Annual Service Awards Ceremony

The 39th Annual Service Awards Ceremony will be held on Thursday, October 12, 2006, in the Price Center Ballroom. This year, we celebrate 500 staff members who have achieved 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service during the period from September 1, 2005 to August 31, 2006.

The ceremony begins at 2:30 p.m. and will include presentations of awards and certificates of appreciation to 103 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.

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 all of them for their service and look forward to acknowledging their contributions at the ceremony.
