At an awards presentation on Oct. 23, Weill Cornell honored 114 staff and faculty who have reached milestones of service of 45, 40, 35, 30, 25, 20 and 15 years.
"We take this opportunity to recognize our faculty and staff for their hard work and dedication. Without them, we could not maintain the high standard of excellence in education, research and clinical care that makes Weill Cornell one of the leading academic medical institutions in the world," said Dr. Antonio Gotto, dean of the Medical College.
Dr. Esther Breslow (biochemistry), honored for 40 years of service, with Dean Antonio Gotto (right) and Steven Rosalie, associate provost.
Each of the honorees received a Certificate of Appreciation and a gift certificate presented by Dean Gotto and Steven Rosalie, associate provost of the Medical College. Each honoree will select a gift from a special catalog.
Staff and faculty who have attained 5 and 10 years of service will be honored at a special program on Nov. 19.
