Delta State University honored retiring employees and awarded service pins to others at the 2014 Retirement Service Award Ceremony held recently on the second floor of the H.L. Nowell Student Union.
The Department of Human Resources is sponsored the event. The Retirement Recognition and Service Awards Day has been taking place for over 20 years. This year 17 retiring employees were recognized for their combined 391 years of service to the university.
At the conclusion of the ceremony, a special invitation was extended for them to join the Dedicated Statesmen Group so they can stay actively involved with the University.
