2006-07 UCSD Annual Service Awards Program

Each year, UCSD celebrates the dedication of staff employees and their years of service with the UCSD Annual Service Awards. Employees are eligible for recognition when they have achieved 10 or more years of service, at five-year intervals (10, 15, 20, etc.).

The 2006-07 ceremony will be held on Thursday, October 4, 2007, in the Price Center Ballroom. Invitations to the awards ceremony will be mailed to eligible employees in September 2007.

ELIGIBILITY

Employees are eligible for recognition this year if their service achievement occurs between September 1, 2006, and August 31, 2007 (with an effective date of September 1, 2007). Departments are responsible for determining whether employees are eligible and may use the Service Credit Calculation form provided for service pins for this purpose.
