CSSH members reach significant service milestones

Members recognized for decades of noteworthy contributions to education, research and support for the social sciences and humanities

Lauren Bannon - 11 December 2023

Every year, the University of Alberta hosts a Celebration of Service — an occasion recognizing the outstanding contributions of faculty and staff members, as well as honorees who have reached service milestones of 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years of service within the calendar year.

We are thrilled to learn that this year 29 members from our college have reached these milestones. We applaud their accomplishments and express our gratitude for their dedicated efforts and contributions!
