Miami University employees who have 15, 25, or 30 years of service were honored at a reception Feb. 15. 

“Dedication and perseverance are among the values we stand for at Miami University. There is no one who exemplifies these values more fully or more authentically than our long-time employees,” Miami University President Gregory Crawford said. “We honor faculty and staff who have been at Miami for 15, 25, or 30 years, because they have honored us. They provide a priceless value to our students through their example, and they provide a stability and unity to Miami that makes it a special place to all of us.”
