On Staff: Dinner Honors Longtime University Employees A dinner at Homewood's Glass Pavilion on June 13 honored 193 university employees with 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 years of service to Hopkins and those who are retiring or have retired during the past year. Their total combined service time amounts to 3,788 years. "Your stability, skillful leadership and expertise in the varied departments you represent have helped to make the university the great institution it is today," President William C. Richardson told the employees. Hopkins employees with 5, 10 and 15 years of service were honored at an afternoon reception in May.
