St. John’s University is ever grateful for its employees' commitment and dedication. Our Years of Service recognition program celebrates faculty, staff and administrators who achieve 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.
Below are the employees recognized in the first three quarters of 2023 with a years of service milestone.
Employees who achieve 25, 40, 50 and 60 years of service are honored at the annual Employee Recognition Convocation.
