College Honors its Silver, Gold and Gold-with-a-Ruby Stars
In a majestic room filled with fresh flowers and gold satin table linens, employees enjoyed a festive meal during the annual Celebration of the Stars and Holiday Brunch held December 18 in the Great Hall.
Eighty-nine employees in all were honored for their decades of service, which featured buffet-style breakfast and lunch entrees as well as live music by the College’s Jazz Ensemble under the direction of music instructor Anthony Ferrara.
Dr. Judith Gay, interim president, welcomed everyone and thanked employees for their dedication. She introduced Stacy E. Holland who shared an appreciation from the Board of Trustees.
“Your countless contributions assisting and encouraging students and coworkers, getting involved to improve the College community, and sharing your knowledge with colleagues have helped us as a College to grow and prosper,” she said. “Your loyalty and decades of service to the College is an inspiration to us all, and the entire College community appreciates your expertise.”
A projector flashed the name of each honoree onto two walls as colleagues mingled and enjoyed the relaxing live music.
