Employee Recognition Reception
The Employee Recognition Reception is an annual, system-wide celebration to recognize the contributions of faculty and staff at Washington State University.
The 2019 celebration was held December 11, 2019, and honored approximately 950 WSU employees who reached milestone years of service or received the Crimson Spirit Award in 2019.

Two 50-year honorees, three 45-year honorees, 13 40-year honorees, and 10 Crimson Spirit honorees were personally recognized by President Schulz during the reception.
