The University of Winnipeg celebrated its long serving staff and faculty  with a champagne reception on Thursday, May 5 at the Asper Theatre. The list includes members that have served 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 40, 45 and a remarkable 50 years.

If you add up the years of service from this year’s honourees we would have more than two millennia of dedicated service.

In addition , each year UWinnipeg takes pause to honour those employees celebrating 25 years with the University and are welcomed into The University of Winnipeg 25 Year Club, a noted honour.

The event was hosted by Dr. Neil Besner, Provost and Vice-President, Academic and Laurel Repski, Vice-President,Human Resources, Audit & Sustainability. To view the photos from the event please visit Long Service Awards .
