The university recognized 250 staff members
celebrating milestone anniversaries of 20 or more years of
service, as well as 70 staff members retiring during the
2004 fiscal year, with a banquet and awards ceremony on
Tuesday evening, June 15, in the Robert Scott Gymnasium at
Homewood's O'Connor Recreation Center. With its floor
covered and walls draped, tables elaborately set and a
classical string duo performing, the room was transformed
for the occasion.
Following the dinner, President
William R. Brody presented service awards to each
honoree. Staff members celebrating anniversaries of 20, 25,
30, 35 or 40 years of service received a variety of awards,
many commissioned specifically for the recognition program.
Among them were a limited edition, hand-made paper
sculpture of the face of Johns Hopkins; a framed
certificate featuring a specially commissioned bronze
relief medallion combining symbols of all the Johns Hopkins
divisions in its design and a hand-painted decorative
platter with a reproduction of the round Johns Hopkins seal
seen in Gilman Hall's stained glass window. A new gift
offered this year for those with 35 or more years of
service was a lead crystal vase set in a wood base with a
personalized engraved plaque.

Retiring staff members received framed certificates of
appreciation, and those retiring with 25 or more years of
service had a choice of a Johns Hopkins rocking chair or
captain's chair, or a framed certificate with a bronze
commemorative medallion.
About 315 staff members, guests and university VIPs
attended the dinner, the highest attendance on record.
Among the retirees honored was Sidney Green, a well-loved
custodial supervisor who worked for the university for 47
years, the longest service of any retiree this year. He was
often in charge of board of trustees events.
The Human Resources Office of Faculty, Staff and
Retiree Programs is responsible for the university's staff
recognition program. More information on the program is
