One University of Wisconsin-Stout employee was recognized for 40 years of service and four more for 35 years of employment during a program held Monday, Nov. 12, at the Memorial Student Center.
A total of 95 employees were honored for reaching milestones ranging from 10 years to 40 years. Each employee received a commemorative tackette, or pin.
UW-Stout has 1,324 employees.
The Chancellor’s Office and University Advancement hosted the reception for the honorees, their families and guests. Chancellor Bob Meyer, who in 2017 received the 30-year recognition, presented the awards.
“UW-Stout is an exceptional place to learn because of our talented, dedicated and supportive faculty and staff. These employees from all over campus make a difference every day in students’ lives, so that’s why it’s an honor to recognize them,” Meyer said.
