A special commendation for Washington State University faculty and staff who reach a length-of-service milestone.
About the Program
Employee recognition is a vital part of Washington State University. Recognizing and supporting the contributions of our employees is critical to fulfilling the University mission. WSU acknowledges that each employee makes a difference at Washington State University, and strives to identify methods by which meaningful recognition occurs.
At each length-of-service milestone, employees receive:
- a certificate of service and a letter of congratulations sent directly to the employee’s attention at their mail stop; if they do not have an active mail stop or they are a fully remote employee, their certificate will be mailed to their home address in Workday.
- an invitation to order a service award (the award is then sent to the employee via their home address provided during time of order.
Order Timing
Your order is provided to our vendor at the end of your anniversary month and from there, typically the order will arrive within 1 week depending on the distance.
For example: January Length of Service Honorees – will receive an email from hrs.employeerecognition@wsu.edu during the 1st week of January inviting them to place their order. The order is then provided to our vendor by the 1st week in February. January honorees should anticipate receiving their order around the 2nd week in February.
Please note that there will be a delay from when you order your item to when it will arrive.
