Staff Service Awards

The Staff Service Awards celebrate the dedication of Michigan Tech staff members who have reached a work anniversary milestone. Each summer, the University President and Staff Council Chair present awards for five-year increments of service to more than 100 staff members. Recent staff retirees are also recognized.

Thank you to our staff members who have reached a five year anniversary date this fiscal year for your service and commitment to Michigan Tech!

Thank you to the President's Office for their continued support and funding for the University Staff Service Awards luncheon and awards.
