Queen’s University honoured faculty and staff who reached milestone years of continuous service during the 2024 Celebration of Service dinner and reception at Ban Righ Dining Hall on Thursday, June 6.
A total of 120 staff and faculty members were celebrated for their contributions and for reaching employment milestones of 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, and 55 years.
The event was attended by honourees and their guests, and was hosted by Principal and Vice-Chancellor Patrick Deane and Lisa Walsh, Interim Associate Vice-Principal (Human Resources).
“Celebrating longstanding employees at Queen’s is such a special event and I am privileged to host and have the opportunity to thank our colleagues for their dedication to their roles, to students, and to the university,” says Principal Deane, who spoke at the event. “I am grateful for their years of service and the impact they have in making Queen’s what it is today.”
