Salute to Service
Chancellor Syverud, Sarah Short, Jack Graver

On Tuesday, Syracuse University honored 147 employees who marked milestone anniversaries in 2016. Collectively, those honored have given more than 4,655 years of service to the University. Professor Sarah Short of the Falk College and Professor Jack Graver of the College of Arts and Sciences, pictured above with Chancellor Kent Syverud, both celebrated 50 years of service to Syracuse University last year. Professor Donald Morton of the College of Arts and Sciences also marked 50 years of service in 2016.

Syracuse University honored employees who celebrated milestone anniversaries in 2016 at the annual “Salute to Service” celebration on Tuesday, May 16, during a luncheon in the Schine Student Center’s Goldstein Auditorium.

Faculty and staff honored—147 overall—marked anniversaries of 25 years (1991), 30 years (1986), 35 years (1981), 40 years (1976), 45 years (1971) and 50 years (1966). Collectively, those honored have compiled more than 4,655 years of service to the University.

Chancellor Kent Syverud told those gathered that they represent every aspect of a great university—teaching and research; expanding, maintaining and improving buildings and infrastructure; facilitating essential operating processes; and “keeping us all warm, fed, healthy, informed and safe.”

“You all are part of the student experience because you touch their lives. You are likely part of a memory in the mind of countless graduates and alumni. You support your colleagues in sustaining the Orange culture. For all of this, I am grateful,” Chancellor Syverud said. “The decades of service represented here are not commonly found in the workplace today. Syracuse University is extremely fortunate to have the benefit of such accumulated wisdom and expertise.”
