7) I’m not an Award Recipient, but I’d still like to attend the event. How do I get a ticket?

If there are tickets remaining, a general campus distribution for Faculty and Staff not receiving an award will be conducted on Tuesday, April 16, 2013, 11:30am - 1:30pm. A table will be set up in the University Union, 2nd floor, outside of the Susquehanna Rooms. You must pick up a ticket in person and present your valid TU ID. 

 

8) It seems that I am receiving my service award in year 6, 16, 21, 26, etc.? Why is that?

At Towson University, we calculate milestone service years for eligible faculty and staff that have COMPLETED their 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc. years of service beginning January 1st through December 31st of their respective milestone year. 

Celebrating the Annual Service Awards Breakfast and Ceremony after December 31st allows recipients to complete their milestone and receive their award in the early Spring of the following year. This also allows the staff of the Office of Human Resources time to facilitate the gift ordering, certificate printing, and the planning logistics time needed to facilitate a breakfast and ceremony for the over 300 recipients, campus leadership, and guests.

The 2012 Annual Service Award Breakfast and Ceremony will take place in May 2, 2013.
