2024 Staff Awards Ceremony Celebrates Staff Excellence
In the midst of the university's milestone 50th anniversary, staff members gathered
on Tuesday, July 16, for the 2024 Staff
Awards Ceremony to acknowledge each other's efforts during the past year, and to
honor those few exceptional employees who have, in their own way, impacted UHD in
a way that merited special recognition.
The event was well-attended, as was the reception that followed, which included food, fun, and door prizes. Be sure to thank members of the Office of Human Resources when you see them around campus!
