Stony Brook University employees who marked milestones of 25 years or more of service in 2024 were honored with a Service Recognition Luncheon February 27 at the Bauman Center for Leadership and Service.
The annual event celebrated the commitment and contributions of 465 employees, whose dedication has helped shape the university into the top-ranked public institution in New York. Among them, three employees celebrated an incredible 55 years of service.
Interim President Richard L. McCormick expressed his gratitude to the honorees, emphasizing their role in Stony Brook’s continued growth and excellence.
“Those of you who are gathered in this room today shape our university into the best it can be. Through your dedication to excellence and service to our students, Stony Brook keeps getting better and better,” he said. “We are New York’s number one public university, and could never have achieved this level of success without individuals like yourselves, making up the backbone of our university.”
McCormick also highlighted the unique culture of appreciation that defines the Stony Brook community. “Like many other outstanding universities, ours is filled with smart, determined, and driven individuals, but here at Stony Brook, they have each others’ backs. Our Stony Brook culture of support and gratitude is unique. I noticed it immediately when I arrived here, and I continue to cherish it every day — as I know you do. And as we continue to become more impressive as an institution, we know this would not be possible without the dedication of you all here today.”
