ANNOUNCEMENT
We're excited to introduce a bold, new program designed to honor our dedicated employees. This revamped Length of Service program will recognize those who have reached service milestones from January 1, 2024, through December 31, 2025.
Congratulations to our length of service honorees
USF's Length of Service recognition program celebrates the long term commitment of our unBULLievable employees to the University. Employee recognition is a vital part of USF. Recognizing and supporting the contributions of our Faculty and Staff is a critical part of fulfilling our mission. Each of our employees makes a difference and this is one small way of saying, "Thanks!" Employees with continuous service in a regular line position at USF are eligible for recognition at each 5 year milestone.
Please note: We try very hard to make sure we recognize everyone who has reached a milestone anniversary. If you believe your length of service is incorrect, please submit a HR Help Desk ticket to the Data Operations team to have them review your length of service records. If any changes took place, please notify HRevents@usf.edu
YOUR JOURNEY DESERVES RECOGNITION
Welcome to our newly revamped Length of Service program!
