New Awards, Dates Announced for Staff Recognition Events.

Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs

If a traditional key chain or paperweight isn't quite what you'd like to receive to mark your milestone service anniversary, the Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs has good news about this year's staff recognition program, which starts in June.

New this year: Those being recognized for five, 10, 15 and 20 years of service - and, in increments of five years, all the way up to 60 years - will now be able to choose from a variety of service awards. The available gifts, from MTM Recognition, a leading designer and manufacturer of custom crafted jewelry and recognition awards, range from gym bags and Swiss army knives to earrings and custom designed jewelry, all with the official Johns Hopkins seal.

Eligible staff will receive ordering instructions at home by early April; orders can be placed directly by phone, fax, and mail or online. Those being recognized have until April 13 to order; if that deadline is not met, a lapel pin will be provided.

The awards will be presented at the series of events organized by FSRP, on behalf of Johns Hopkins, to honor staff for their hard work and dedication.

Staff at the School of Medicine, JHU Press and SAIS will be notified once those events are scheduled.

The annual recognition and retiree dinner, which honors staff who are retiring or celebrating anniversaries of 20 years or more, in increments of five years, and whose anniversary falls between the dates above, is scheduled for Tuesday, June 5, from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Ralph S. O'Connor Recreation Center on the Homewood campus.
