What is the date for the 20-Year Club Service Award Program?

The 20-Year Service Award Program will be held on Tuesday, May 24.

The awards program is an annual event established in 1966 to honor classified and unclassified employees who have dedicated 20 years of continuous service to �鶹��ý.

Each year, friends, family and co-workers join in honoring inductees at an awards dinner. Upon reaching their 20-year milestone, employees may select either a chair for home or office, or a bench or a tree to be placed on campus in their honor.

During the awards program, employees celebrating other service milestones (i.e. 5, 10, 15, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years of service) also are recognized. See photos of last year's award presentation here.
