University applauds faculty and staff

One hundred forty-five Harvard faculty and staff members will be honored today (May 12) for reaching a milestone: 25 years of service to the University. The 51st annual 25 Year Recognition Ceremony – a unique event in that it recognizes both faculty and staff from across the entire University – will be held at the Ropes-Gray Room, Pound Hall, Harvard Law School.

President Lawrence H. Summers will host the ceremony, and the guest speaker will be honoree Stephen Mitchell, professor of Scandinavian and folklore.

The Glee Club will perform, and the ceremony will be followed by a reception for honorees and their guests.
