Every summer, staff gather for a picnic to celebrate the end of the academic year and to honor the achievements of their colleagues. Service awards are given out to recognize individuals who have five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of employment with the College. We'll be posting a full listing of staff members recognized for their years of service following the picnic and profiling more long-serving staff in the future.
