Long Service Awards
Celebrating colleagues across the University for their service and dedication to Leeds.
Colleagues celebrated with a lunch at University House attended by Professor Hai-Sui Yu.
Long Service Awards recognise the achievement of technical and non-academic staff members up to grade 6 who have worked at the University for 25 or 40 years.
This year, we celebrate the 50th set of Long Service Awards. The 49th time the awards took place was in 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic.
Award recipients from 2021, 2022 and 2023 were invited to attend a celebratory festive lunch in University House on 11 December and received their awards during a graduation ceremony in the Great Hall later that afternoon.
Professor Hai-Sui Yu, Interim Vice-Chancellor and President, attended the celebratory lunch and presided over the awards.
He said: “The Long Service Awards are a wonderful opportunity for us to come together as a community and thank colleagues for their remarkable dedication, loyalty and hard work.
“I am very proud to work alongside them and sincerely congratulate them on their invaluable contribution to the University of Leeds.”
