  ||  Eligibility   ||  Recognition Events  ||  Awards   ||  Directions to Recognition Dinner

The Johns Hopkins University Staff Recognition Program is held to honor staff members as valued contributors to the university's success, improve morale and nurture loyalty by recognizing those celebrating milestone anniversaries with the university. The Office of Faculty, Staff and Retiree Programs (FSRP) strives to ensure that each recipient is recognized with a positive and meaningful career event. Sondra Ponzi coordinates the recognition program for FSRP.

Staff being recognized for 5, 10, 15 and 20 or more years of service, in increments of 5 years and retirees with 25 or more years of service, can now choose from a variety of service awards from MTM Recognition, a leader in service recognition awards.
