We aim to celebrate employee milestone anniversaries during the year of their anniversary to enhance the overall employee experience and strengthen our recognition efforts. Acknowledging employee dedication and loyalty is crucial, as it significantly contributes to the success and positive work culture at Tulane University.
In December 2024, we will hold our annual Staff Recognition Social to honor those who celebrate milestone anniversaries in 2024. More information about this event will be sent to invited guests later this year. In the meantime, please view the list of employees reaching milestone anniversaries this year by clicking the button below.

We encourage you to consider how you can personally acknowledge and celebrate the milestone employees within your departments. Here are some best practices for recognizing employee work anniversaries:
Personalized Messages: Encourage supervisors and colleagues to send personalized messages of appreciation to employees on their milestone anniversaries. A heartfelt email, handwritten note, or thoughtful message during a team meeting can go a long way in making employees feel valued.
Public Recognition: Take the opportunity to publicly recognize employees during departmental or university-wide events, meetings, or through internal communication channels. A formal announcement of the employee's achievements fosters a sense of pride and appreciation.
Celebratory Events: Consider organizing special events or small celebrations to commemorate significant work anniversaries. Whether it's a team lunch, a virtual gathering, or an awards ceremony, these events create a positive and inclusive environment that reinforces the value we place on long-term dedication.
