Weill Cornell Medical College administrators—including Medical College Dean Dr. Antonio M. Gotto Jr., Graduate School Dean Dr. David Hajjar, and Associate Provost and Executive Vice Dean for Administration and Finance Stephen Cohen—gathered for a series of events in October and November to recognize and honor employees who have reached various milestones in their tenure with the Medical College.
Employees with five years of service were honored with a lunch in the Cayuga Room of the Garden Café on Oct. 22 and 24, while those workers who had spent 10 or more years with Weill Cornell were treated to cocktails at the Weill Greenberg Center on Nov. 8.
Each of the honorees received a certificate of appreciation, as well as an engraved Colibri pen, and was thanked for their years of hard work and dedication. The employees also had their photo taken with Dean Gotto, Dean Hajjar and Executive Vice Dean Cohen.
"The success and advancement of this institution is a direct result of the focused dedication with which these employees have performed in their time here," Dean Gotto said. "Your dedication and commitment to excellence are greatly appreciated."
