Employee Service Award Program

The Service Awards Program was created to provide special recognition to faculty and staff for their years of service to the University.  Employees with five or more years of service will be acknowledged at each five year milestone. 

We are pleased to announce some enhancements to the program.  You are now able to view the gift selection catalog online and order your gift at one convenient location.  When you receive your service award packet, just use the personalized PIN number you have been provided to access the gift catalog.

There are two aspects of the Service Awards Program - the Service Awards program itself and the public recognition that takes place during the annual Faculty and Staff Recognition Award Ceremony.  A description of each is next.

Service Awards

Individuals celebrating a milestone anniversary will receive a letter from the University President and a personalized certificate recognizing the individual for his or her dedication to the University.  As a way of saying thank you, employees will have the opportunity to select a gift to commemorate their special anniversary.

Employees may contact Gina Zitzer at 651/962-6901 in the Human Resources Department with any questions.

Annual Faculty and Staff Recognition Awards Ceremony

The University publicly recognizes employees with five or more years of service at each five-year milestone of an employee's St. Thomas career.  The Annual Faculty and Staff Recognition Ceremony occurs in March of each year and is the event at which the entire campus community comes together to honor their colleagues who have celebrated a milestone anniversary date.
 
Honorees and their managers receive a formal invitation to the celebration.  Family members and friends of the honorees are also welcome to attend the ceremony.
