Celebrating 2020 Staff Service Award Honorees - Division Listing

Each year, the University honors staff, managers and auxiliary employees on their 5, 10, 15, and other five year service increments.  Although we are not able to come together this year as we traditionally do, we wanted to provide a site dedicated to celebrating the Matadors who mark a milestone in their service to support the academic endeavors of our students..

Together, the approximately 370 employees we are celebrating this year, have collectively provided more than 4,750 years of service to the University! The listing below features honorees in alpha order by division. /p>

Congratulations & Thank You to each of the honorees!
