Years of Service Awards
The university honors staff and faculty for their years of service to the university. Employees are recognized for every five years of employment, for employment milestones at 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40(+) years. Milestone employees (from June of the prior year through May of the current year) are recognized at the annual Celebration of Excellence Awards Ceremony, and milestones of 10+ years receive a gift certificate to the AS Bookstore on their milestone year ($1 per year served).
The following employees are eligible to receive a service year award:
- Permanent classified employees
- Permanent professional staff
- Executive Officers
- Permanent tenure-track and tenured faculty
- Non-tenure track faculty with an active job during the current academic year (not including rehired retirees)
Length of service consists of employment since the first day worked. Should you have questions regarding your years of service, please contact HR@wwu.edu.
