UBC Okanagan’s Length of Service Recognition Program

‘Great People’ is recognized as one of the Core Areas and Strategies under People and Places within the UBC Strategic Plan.  Attracting, engaging, and retaining a diverse global community of outstanding students, faculty and staff is at the heart of the university’s identity, and is critical to the success and growth of UBC.

The Length of Service recognition program is one way in which we recognize the commitment and service of our great staff and faculty. The program recognizes service milestones of 15 years up to 45 years.  Honorees are eligible to select a gift of their choice from the selection offered and are invited to attend a celebratory reception.

For more information on the program please contact Kerry Ann Kozak.
