I am pleased to share an important update with you regarding our service recognition process, which we have been diligently working on to ensure a more meaningful and timely acknowledgment of our employees' contributions. 
In response to feedback received over the past year and a half, we identified key areas for improvement. Our recognition timeframe will shift from September-August to January-December. Digital certificates will be sent to employees at the beginning of their anniversary month, with an online shop available for those celebrating a milestone. Additionally, there will now be a combined breakfast event to recognize faculty, APs, and Civil Service employees with 10+ years, including retirees. If an employee missed a milestone year between March 2019 and December 2024, they can request a digital certificate by the end of April 2025. These updates reflect our commitment to valuing and appreciating the hard work and dedication of our employees. For more information, please visit our website.
