The 47th Annual CSUN Staff Service and Excellence Recognition Event will be held from 8:30 to 11 a.m. on Thursday, May 30 in the Northridge Center Complex, University Student Union. This event celebrates staff and administrators who have achieved service milestones at five-year increments (5, 10, 15, etc.) as well as outstanding achievement. Service eligibility is based on continuous service, recognizing temporary or permanent employment status at half time base or greater. University, auxiliary and combined service years are recognized. A list of staff scheduled to be honored for their years of service is listed below.

The event also provides the university, through the ceremony, the opportunity to recognize both individual staff members and teams, for outstanding efforts made over the course of the calendar year. Those awards are specifically, the Presidential Award, Award of Merit, the Jolene Koester Team Award, and new this year: the Alumni Relations Award.

Invitations have been emailed to all service honorees and recognition of excellence nominees. If you have any questions about the Staff Service and Recognition of Excellence Awards event, please contact Monique Villegas in the Office of Human Resources.
