New members of the 25 Year Club.

More than 400 Lehigh staff members gathered at Stabler Arena on May 7 for the university's annual appreciation dinner and awards. In his welcoming remarks, President Joe Helble '82 acknowledged the dedication, care and excellence that employees bring to their roles every day. "The work you do," he said, "often quietly, behind the scenes, makes a powerful difference in the lives of our students, in the success of our programs, and in the spirit of our campus community."

In keeping with tradition, new members of the 25 Year Club were invited to the stage for a group photo, retirees were recognized, and the Lehigh University Awards were bestowed on recipients from all corners of campus. Those assembled also remembered members of the community who passed away during the past year.

The complete program is available to read on the HR website, including more information about retirees and award recipients.
