CUFO Celebrates Employees Inducted into the Columbia Twenty-Five Year Club
Congratulations to the 23 Facilities and Operations employees who have been inducted into the Columbia University 25 Year Club – a remarkable milestone.
In recognition of 25 years of continuous service to Columbia, Facilities and Operations hosted a private luncheon to celebrate and recognize the 23 employees who have been inducted into the Columbia University 25 Year Club during 2020 and 2021. During the event, which was held in-person and also live-streamed for those who were unable to attend, inductees were recognized and presented with a certificate.
“I am inspired to be a part of this organization, working alongside individuals like you, who for well over two decades, have made a commitment to making the University a better place for students, faculty, and staff while serving the campus community with care, professionalism, and outstanding service,” said Executive Vice President of Facilities and Operations David Greenberg.
Due to capacity restrictions, the University has been unable to host the annual event onsite during 2020 and 2021.
