NASHVILLE, Tenn. (TSU News Service) – Tennessee State University believes in celebrating faculty and staff, and it was no more evident than during the 23rd Annual Employee Recognition luncheon on Tuesday. The event provided special recognition to University employees for their years of service and those retiring.
The program, said TSU President Glenda Glover, provided an opportunity to salute fellow colleagues for their time, talents and years of service to the University.
“The work that takes place on our campus is done through the collaborative efforts of so many hard-working individuals who share a commitment to our mission,” said Dr. Glover. “I applaud you for setting and achieving the goal of providing a customer-friendly and inclusive campus environment. Without the energy, dedication and cooperation of all our employees, the University would not be the premiere institution it is today.”
