As the University celebrates its 50th<\/sup> year, we are reflecting on the people who\u00a0have made this institution what it is today. An important part of this reflection is recognizing those who have served the U of L for a large part of their lives. This week the campus community will come together to celebrate these wonderful people at the Long Service Awards & Retiree Recognition Ceremony. Inspiring Lights, Susan Roth and Suzanne McIntosh, Wellness & Recognition, are just two of the people behind the scenes of this annual event who have seen many faces come and go during their time at the U of L.<\/p>\n

SM: \u201cThis year we have 141 employees and 58 retirees being recognized for their service and dedication to the U of L. That\u2019s a lot of hard working people with a long history at the University. In the case of our retirees, that\u2019s years of stories and knowledge we\u2019re bidding farewell to so it\u2019s special we get the opportunity to say thank you.<\/p>\n

SR: \u201cWhen we talk to those long-time employees about why they have stayed at the University for so long, the common answer we hear is \u2018the people\u2019. We are so lucky to work with not only talented and brilliant staff and faculty here, but they\u2019re also warm and welcoming people. We have a real sense of community at the U of L and I think that is why we see such longevity when it comes to people staying here.<\/p>\n

SM: \u201cThe Long Service Awards & Retiree Recognition Ceremony is a great opportunity for people from all areas of campus to get together in one room. Even though we\u2019re not a big university, we can still go weeks and months without seeing people we know just because of how busy we can get. This event allows everyone to come together, catch up and show our appreciation for our colleagues.<\/p>\n

SR: \u201cSometimes we see retirees or long service award recipients with their families and friends with them at the event too. It feels great that we get to help show how integral and appreciated our U of L people are to those they hold dearest. The University is a place that has become such a big part of people\u2019s lives. For some, they went to school here, they met their spouse here and this is where they\u2019ve come to work every day for the last 20, 30, 40 and in Dennis Connolly\u2019s case, 50 years! It\u2019s a huge achievement and we need to honour that dedication and service.<\/p>\n
