2023 Service Awards

This year's employee Service Awards event took place Thursday, March 23, in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom. Nearly 300 faculty and staff members were honored for their dedicated service to the BGSU community and for helping drive the success of the University. Employees are celebrated and honored beginning with their fifth year of service and then every five years thereafter. This year, eight cohorts representing five to 40 years of service were honored. The event was live streamed for those who weren't able to attend in person.
