“Each year, Concordia sets aside a special time to show its appreciation to employees who have dedicated so many years of service, and those employees who have retired recently from the university,” said Willsher, adding that she was proud to welcome such a diverse and experienced cross-section of the Concordia community to the event.
The honourees at the 2013 event have worked at the university since at least the 1990s. Some arrived in the 1960s, and even witnessed Concordia’s creation in 1974.
