This year, we are celebrating our 2020 long service honourees a bit differently than in years past. As we aren’t able to have a reception (or coconut prawns) at this time, we are recognizing all 116 employees in this edition of VIU Voices. These employees have all dedicated 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 or 45 years of their careers to the institution. We will, when possible, celebrate them in person with all their colleagues.
Thank you to each and every person on this list – for your willingness to share your knowledge and train those who come after you, for your commitment in seeing our students succeed and the continuity you provide so that those around you might thrive. We look forward to celebrating all of you in person as soon as we are able to do so.
Please join us in congratulating your team members! The following list starts at 45 years and works its way downward. Names are presented as recipients have requested.
