2020 Service Recognition
Wichita State University employees who reach a service milestone between the dates of September 2, 2019 and September 1, 2020 were honored at events hosted by the University on Thursday, November 19, 2020 during an online livestream hosted by WSUTV.
- Employees who celebrated 5, 10, 15, and 20 years of service to the State of Kansas were honored at a morning Service Recognition ceremony.
- Employees who celebrated 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 55 years of service to the State of Kansas, Bender of Twigs, and recent Retirees were be honored at an afternoon Service Recognition ceremony.
Service Recognition Program Guidelines were used to determine years of service and employee recognition.
Special note about this year's Service Recognition:
Due to rising COVID-19 numbers in Sedgwick County and upon recommendation of the University’s Health and Safety Committee, the employee recognition events were moved to an all virtual format on 11/12/2020 replacing the in-person event originally scheduled at Charles Koch Arena. This was a very difficult decision and was made after much deliberation, keeping our employee’s health and safety at the forefront of our thoughts and in alignment with other large gatherings hosted by Wichita State.
The ALL VIRTUAL CEREMONY was conducted via a live stream at the designated event time on November 19:
- 9:30-11:30am event celebrating honorees with 5-20 years of service
- 3:30-5:00pm event celebrating those with 25-50 years of service, Bender of Twigs, and retirees
All those being honored for a service milestone could watch the ceremony as it was live streamed at the designated event time. All honorees were individually recognized during the virtual ceremony. Friends, family, and co-workers can also watch the ceremonies via the live stream.
This is a very unique time for everyone. The University values the dedicated service of our honorees and we want to make these milestone accomplishments a special occasion in a new virtual way.
