Awards

The Service Award Program
Our staff members are one of the truly vital resources that enables the University to meet its mission. The Service Award Program celebrates this fact by recognizing and honoring those who reach a career milestone. From a first anniversary to those with 50 years of service, every contribution is appreciated and celebrated.

The award recognizes staff members who are a positive influence in the workplace with a $500 cash award ( made possible by gifts from Candy's friends and colleague).
