posted on Dec. 4: 163 McMaster employees honoured for years of service

If you do the math, the numbers are astounding. A minimum of 2,400 years of service to McMaster and counting. Recently, 163 McMaster employees were honoured at a Service Recognition Awards annual luncheon held to mark the worthy service of those who have been employed by the University for at least 15 years. "It is no small feat these days to accumulate 15, 20, 30, 35 or 39 years of service to an employer," said President Peter George. "As our society becomes more mobile and technology makes the world seem smaller, people have more choices about what they want to do, where they want to work and how they see their careers unfolding. These new facts of life make all of you even more exceptional." The University has instituted a new award category this year, marking 35 years of service. Twelve employees were honoured in that category this year.
