On June 4, the 60th Annual Caltech Staff Service Awards will celebrate 247 staff members for their "on-the-job excellence and commitment to Caltech." The awards are presented in recognition of length of service, starting at the 10-year mark. The employees recognized this year have reached milestones of service ranging from 10 to 45 years. They have collectively served Caltech and its community for a total of 4,490 years.
"The Staff Service Awards is a special time when Caltech staff members are recognized and thanked for their passion for and dedication to the Institute," says Julia McCallin, associate vice president for human resources. "We honor them and their families in this annual ceremony for helping make Caltech the world's premier research and educational institution."

In addition, one staff member will receive the annual Thomas W. Schmitt Annual Staff Prize, presented to an individual "whose contributions embody the values and spirit that enables the Institute to achieve excellence in research and education." The prize is selected from community nominations by a committee of faculty and staff members.
The awards will be given at a ceremony in Beckman Auditorium beginning at 10 a.m., with a reception in Dabney Lounge and Garden to follow.
