More than 140 staff members celebrated anniversaries or retired from the university this year, and their colleagues and family turned out in full force for a dinner on June 2 in the Glass Pavilion to recognize their contributions.

Said President William R. Brody, "We can have the biggest library, the most beautiful campus, the finest collection of buildings and laboratories and classrooms in the world. But without the right people, all these things have little value. You are what makes this happen. I am proud to have this opportunity to express my thanks to all of you."
