Weill Cornell senior administrators, including Medical College Dean Antonio Gotto Jr.; Associate Provost and Executive Vice Dean for Administration and Finance Stephen Cohen; and Graduate School Dean David Hajjar, gathered for a series of events in October to recognize and honor employees who have served the College for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years.
Each of the honorees received a certificate of appreciation and was thanked for their years of hard work and dedication during three separate events held in Griffis Faculty Club.
Dean Gotto remarked, "By recognizing long-standing members of our community like this, we realize just how important a role each of us plays in the success of our institution. Your dedication and commitment to excellence are greatly appreciated."
