ECC Recognizes Employees for Years of Service

Each year, East Central College recognizes the hard work and commitment of its employees during the Annual Service Awards Recognition banquet.

The banquet, held on March 31, is an opportunity to show that the college values the employee’s dedication to students’ needs and educational goals, and to the community ECC serves.

The service award banquet also is an opportunity for administrators ­to individually recognize each employee and the work that they do for the college and students.

This year’s annual banquet honored those who have been with ECC for 5, 10, 15, 20, 30 and 45 years.

“The ECC board of trustees and I are deeply appreciative of the dedicated faculty and staff at the College,” said Dr. Jon Bauer, ECC president.

The ECC Culinary Department provided dinner and service for award winners and their guests.
