The Long Service Award program celebrates the work anniversaries of those employees who have dedicated their careers to VIU. We are grateful to be recognizing those employees who are celebrating an employment milestone, ranging from 10 years to 50 years of working at VIU.
Recognizing colleagues for their long service is an important way to demonstrate our gratitude for their dedication and the positive difference they have made to the VIU community.
Thank you to all the long service recipients for 2025.
