Weill Cornell Medical College held numerous awards presentations over the past several weeks to honor its long-serving faculty and staff.
On Nov. 17, employees with 10 or more years of service — including five individuals celebrating 50 years at Weill Cornell — gathered for a cocktail reception at Griffis Faculty Club. Dr. Antonio M. Gotto Jr., dean of the Medical College, and Dr. David Hajjar, dean of Weill Cornell Graduate School of Medical Sciences and executive vice dean at the Medical College, presented each honoree with a certificate of appreciation, a plaque and a gift certificate.
Faculty and staff celebrating five years of service were honored at luncheons on Oct. 20 and 22 at Griffis Faculty Club as well. Each employee was presented with a certificate of appreciation and gift certificate by Dr. Gotto and Stephen M. Cohen, executive vice dean for administration and finance and associate provost.
