FAQs

Can I bring a guest or a colleague with me? 
The Service Awards Celebration is a special lunch designed only for service award recipients and university leadership (Reach Higher Collaborative Leadership Network President’s Council – which includes among others, the senior leadership team and deans). The event is curated to be a smaller, intimate gathering. Additional guests cannot be accommodated but are welcome to participate in the kudos board and by viewing the post-event recording. We encourage supervisors and departments to congratulate colleagues as they hit their milestone achievement throughout the year.

How do I select my gift?
As a token of our gratitude for your many years of dedicated service, you will be receiving a monetary gift, which will arrive via check at your home address. In years past, we provided a selection of gifts to choose from, but have since transitioned to monetary awards.
