Length of Service Awards
Attracting, engaging, and retaining a diverse global community of outstanding students, faculty, and staff is central to the identity of our university and vital to the success and growth of UBC.
The Length of Service recognition program exemplifies our appreciation for the dedication and service of our exceptional staff and faculty at the Okanagan campus.
This program acknowledges service milestones of 15+ years in 5-year increments. Honorees are presented with a certificate and are invited to attend a celebratory reception. Those reaching the 25-year milestone also receive a distinguished gold pin.
For more information on the program, please contact Kerry Ann Kozak.
