The Employee Recognition Ceremony was held on May 9, 2023, where we celebrated our esteemed retirees, employees reaching milestone years of service and award winners for fiscal years 2020, 2021 and 2022. Wayne State University recognizes employees for their milestone years of service every five years, beginning at 10 years of service and concluding with those who have retired from the university. We also had some new recognition awards this year! We look forward to planning the fiscal year 2023 ceremony that will take place in the spring of 2024!
