Honoring employees for contributions and commitments to the university.
The time you dedicate to your career at UC Santa Barbara is important and celebrated! We are so thankful for all of the amazing work that you do on campus and want to show you our appreciation; your work does not go unnoticed!
The Service Award celebrations take place each year in May, during Staff Appreciation Week. At the event, we celebrate and acknowledge UC Santa Barbara staff who have achieved a milestone anniversary. Remarks of appreciation are delivered by campus leadership, and staff receive a service pin as a small token of our gratitude for their incredible impact on the UC Santa Barbara campus.
Save the Date for May 15, 2023
Held during our Staff Celebration week, the 2023 Service Milestone Event will take place on May 15th in the Corwin Pavilion from 9:00 - 11:30 AM. Check-In for the event begins at 8:30 AM.
The 2023 Service Milestone Event will honor those employees who reached 5-50 year milestones between May 1, 2022 and April 1, 2023.
Eligibility
Staff members are eligible for service awards after completing at least 5 years of service. In addition to receiving a service award, employees are given a higher accrual rate for vacation after 10, 15 and 20 years of service. Employment service credit is used to determine service time for vacation accrual rates and eligibility for service awards. Please note that employee service credit does not accrue in the same way as, and should not be confused with, retirement service credit or seniority.
Congratulations to this year's Staff Service Award Honorees!
Show Your Service
Employees reaching service milestones of 10 years or more will receive a pin similar to the example here along with a letter of gratitude for your years of service.
If you have 5 years of service or more, feel free to use the below accessories at any time, and especially around the time of the Staff Service Awards Ceremonies!
