Congratulations to Service and Retirement Recognition Program Awardees!

The MSU Retirement and Service Recognition Award recognizes support staff employees celebrating a 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, or 50th work anniversary or a retirement falling between July 1, 2021, and December 31, 2021. This shortened date range is to support a transition from recognizing employees based on the fiscal year to the calendar year. Next year, we will recognize employee years of service between January 1 and December 31, 2022. This year, we recognize over 450 employees celebrating long-term work anniversaries and retirements.

While we are not able to hold an in-person celebration this year, we are no less thankful for our employees’ dedicated service to MSU. We are incredibly disappointed that we cannot celebrate our employees at an in-person event for their talent, loyalty, and contributions to MSU. Our university’s development and growth have been, in large part, due to the contributions made by staff members who have chosen to remain in the service of the university.

MSU President Samuel L. Stanley Jr., M.D.

In addition to the great work you do every day, I am grateful for your dedication and flexibility over the past couple of challenging years.

Thank you for all you do for MSU.”

  1. I wonder if the University is giving gifts for service anniversaries and retirement anymore?

    1. Hi Nora,
      Yes, the university is still giving gifts to employees celebrating a work anniversary or retirement.

  2. I didn’t get a gift for my 40th anniversary in January and now I’m retiring this month. I love those gifts!

  3. I was never notified nor am I on the list for 35 years. Am I still able to receive one? I started in 1987 and working at the VDL still.
