Come Celebrate Staff Service and Excellence
Each year, UC Merced honors staff who reach service milestone anniversaries in the UC system. After two years of marking these achievements with virtual get-togethers, this year we will gather in person.

The Celebrating Staff Service and Excellence Awards and luncheon is set for 10 a.m. - 1 p.m. Friday, May 20, in the Conference Center's Dr. Vikram and Priya Lakireddy Grand Ballroom.
There are 178 UC Merced staff members who have served for at least five years in the UC system as of Dec. 31, 2021. (Tap the button below for the full list.) All honorees can pick up their award or milestone clip at the event. Awards not picked up at the event will be distributed later by division.

Chancellor Juan Sánchez Muñoz is scheduled to address the celebration, which caps Staff Appreciation Week, May 16-20. The 15 staff members who have worked for the UC for 20 years or more (listed below) will be recognized by their respective Vice Chancellors.

After the Service Award presentation, Staff Assembly will present its annual Staff Excellence Awards, which recognize outstanding achievements and meritorious service of staff members nominated by their peers. 

In addition to the provided box lunches, there will be a DJ and photo booth.
