Longtime employees honored at in-person ceremony

Pitt employees who reached the milestones of 20, 30, 40 and 50 years of service between Jan. 1, 2021 and June 30, 2022, were honored at an in-person ceremony on June 2 at the William Pitt Union.

The longer than normal list reflects a year and a half of work anniversaries. Last June, the ceremony, which is normally held each year, honored those who hit milestones in 2020. That ceremony had been delayed because of the pandemic.

The one person marking 50 years at Pitt — Torran King — hit that mark last year and then decided to retire after a long career in Facilities Management.
