Employees honored for lengthy service

Pittsburg State University honored 87 employees today who together have served the university for a total of 1,540 years. PSU President Tom Bryant said the employees’ record of service was “a testament to their dedication to the university and to its students.”

Employees received pins for 40 years, 35 years, 30 years, 25 years, 20 years, 15 years and 10 years of service.

Bryant said there is no way to measure the impact that long-time employees have had on the university and on the students they have served over the years.

“People are the most precious resource we have,” Bryant said. “It is important that we recognize them for the work they do.”
