At an afternoon of celebration and ceremony, more than 200 invitees and their guests packed Mac Hall A/B on May 21 to pay tribute to the many ��ݮ����Ƶ���� faculty, staff, graduate students, and postdoctoral scholars who make the ��ݮ����Ƶ���� a great place to learn and work.

With 26 individuals receiving 25-year service awards, 127 individuals receiving 15-year service awards, 27 individuals and teams receiving U Make a Difference Awards, the afternoon honoured those who use their talent and efforts to inspire colleagues through innovation, collaboration and positivity.

While addressing the crowd to open the ceremony, President Ed McCauley emphasized the importance of recognition at the university — and its impact on our community as a whole.

“The Recognition Awards recipients and nominees have each used their talents to promote the extraordinary in our campus culture, programs and research,” Dr. McCauley says. “Every member of our university family has something important to contribute, so it’s essential that we celebrate these achievements and support professional fulfillment through development, innovation and entrepreneurial thinking.”
