The Faculty of Science came together on December 16 to celebrate the end of the year with its annual Holiday Potluck and Service Recognition event. The gathering brought together faculty, staff, and students to reflect on another successful year and to recognize colleagues who have reached significant career milestones within the 91ÑÇÉ« Science community.
Each year, the Service Recognition Awards give us a chance to pause and say thank you to colleagues who exemplify what it means to build a career in service to our students, our programs, and one another.
