East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania honored 95 employees for their service and dedication during the annual Employee Recognition Ceremony on October 24. Employee service ranges from 10 to 50 years.

“It is great to see such a nice cross-section of campus represented during this year’s recognition ceremony,” said ESU Interim President Kenneth Long. “Some of this year’s honorees teach in the broad range of disciplines across the curriculum, while others provide administrative support services or student services, make sure this campus is in pristine condition or serve the campus by keeping our technology running smoothly. The work by all of these individuals is important for both recruiting and retaining our students and in successfully fulfilling the university’s mission.”
