in the Main Ballroom of the Lory Student Center followed
immediately by a reception from 4-5:30 p.m. in the West Ballroom.
The university and Fort Collins community are invited to attend
the ceremony and reception.
"This special occasion is one of the means we use to express
our gratitude to those who provide necessary continuity and
dedication to excellence at this university," said Penelope

Deb McCune, chairwoman of the Administrative Professional
Council, said the new event was a chance to celebrate the
achievements of those who have made long-term commitments to
Colorado State.
"These people are the core of Colorado State University and
its commitment to serve students - and this is a great chance, as
a community, to honor them," McCune said.
"We're excited for this event as an opportunity to bring
faculty and staff together," said Shelly May, chairwoman of both
the Colorado State University Activities Board and the Classified
Personnel Council Special Events Board, which have been active in
planning the milestones celebration.
"This is one time when we really can take the opportunity -
and should take the opportunity - to recognize the outstanding
human resources of this university, whether administrative
professional, faculty or state classified staff," added Kathy
Ahlbrandt, chairwoman of the Classified Personnel Council.
