Employee Service Recognition Program
At York University, service milestones are recognized annually and are marked in five-year increments. Service years 5 to 25, are celebrated at the faculty/divisional level, while long service years 30 to 55 are celebrated at a pan-university event.

York University recognizes and annually celebrates our recently retired employees as a show of gratitude for their many dedicated years of service to our community.
