Recognizing employee service

May 2018     No Comments

With a bright sun shining down on a 70+ degree day outside, the smiles of employees past and present shined just as bright inside a multipurpose room of the Student Center May 8, as friends and co-workers gathered to recognize the accomplishments of the faculty and staff of SUNY Poly at the 2018 Employee Recognition Luncheon.

With a menu that ranged from Greek salads to pasta to roast beef, and Interim Chief Operating Officer and Chief of Staff Michael Frame acting as Master of Ceremonies, employees hitting milestone years in their career at SUNY Poly were honored for their work.
