The Office of Human Resources/Payroll has planned the 22nd annual NDSU Staff Recognition Luncheon for Thursday, April 1, at 11:30 a.m. in the Memorial Union Great Plains Room.

Staff retirees and employees with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35 and 40 years of service will be recognized at the luncheon. All NDSU employees are invited to attend the luncheon in support and recognition of their colleagues. Honorees should receive invitation letters next week.

The calculation method for years of service will change this year. Beginning in 1999, employees were given recognition for any state service they held. To keep calculations accurate and because this is an NDSU sponsored event, credit will be given credit for NDSU service only. Adjustments will not be made to previous honorees, but this could change employees' years of service dates in the future and there could be the potential for duplication.

The meal costs $13 per person. Tickets can be purchased through Friday, March 26 at the Office of Human Resources/Payroll, SGC, 1919 N. University Dr., Ste. 102. For special dietary needs, or to request accommodations related to a disability, contact the Office of Human Resources at 1-8961 by Friday, March 26.
