Service Awards 2003

This year’s combined Medical Center and University Service Awards will be a part of the September Employee Celebration Month at Vanderbilt.
Already, on Tuesday, Sept. 2, the day after Labor Day, the celebration month kickoff, held in a tent on Library Lawn, allowed those being honored—people with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 years of service—to pick up their service pins, mingle, and enjoy refreshments and entertainment.
Sept. 15 will be the Silver Salute, a day of recognition for people with 25 years of service, and Sept. 9 will honor those with 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 years of service with a celebration in Langford Auditorium at which this year’s Commodore Award winners will also be introduced. In early October an event for longtime employees will be held at Braeburn, the Chancellor’s residence.
The Medical Center employees with the longest term of service this year are Mary Benford of Educational Support Services, Melvin Fitzgerald of Biochemistry, and Geraldine Nesmith of Linen Services.
