St. John’s University extends its gratitude and deep appreciation for the commitment and dedication of its employees. The Years of Service recognition program celebrates faculty, staff and administrators who achieve employment milestones with the University.
Five, 10, 15, 20, 30, 35, 45, 55 and 65 years of service are recognized with a personal letter from the University President, a Years of Service Certificate and a special gift to commemorate the milestone.
Employees who achieve 25, 40, 50 and 60 years of service are honored at the annual Employee Recognition Convocation.
This spring, employees to be recognized in 2024 will appear below according to the Years of Service milestone that they achieved.
