Oakland University recently honored more than 100 faculty and staff members who have served the institution for decades with strong commitment and support. Employees who reached 10, 20, 30 and 40 years of service with OU during 2023 gathered in the Oakland Center to enjoy a meal, acknowledgements and each others' company during the celebration. Those honored are listed below.
Organizers of this long-held tradition at Oakland are hoping that all faculty and staff who've attended such celebrations will share their impressions and ideas about them. Information gathered through a short, online survey will be used to enhance future celebrations.
