The Bloomberg School of Public Health feted staff members celebrating milestone service anniversaries with a Hawaiian-themed staff recognition reception on June 8 in Feinstone Hall. Staff from the school enjoyed hors d'oeuvres and lemonade served by faculty, deans and other administrators while listening to beachy tunes amid a setting of tropical flowers, leis and blow-up palm trees — appropriate decor given the summer heat outside.

Greeting staff and distributing recognition awards were Al Sommer, the school's dean; Herb Hansen, senior associate dean for finance and administration; and Cherita Hobbs, director of human resources.

The university recognized 138 individuals — 65 staff commemorating five years of service, 38 marking 10 years and 32 celebrating 15 years. Those with five years of service received a pewter pendant key ring with the Johns Hopkins seal; those with 10, a lead crystal paperweight with the Johns Hopkins logo; and 15-year honorees, a cherry wood clock with the Johns Hopkins logo.

The School of Public Health's recognition event is coordinated by its Office of Finance and Administration in conjunction with the university's Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs, with Cindy Haebler, associate director for administration at SPH, as the creative driving force.
