UMB Honors Employees for Excellence, Years of Service
For the first time in four years, the University of Maryland, Baltimore (UMB) held an in-person Employee Recognition and Service Awards Luncheon on March 27, honoring long-serving employees while handing out the Cecil S. Kelly Memorial Employee of the Year Award, James T. Hill Scholarship, and Community Service Award.
The annual event, which was held virtually from 2020 to 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, attracted a crowd of 200-plus to Westminster Hall including University leaders, Staff Senate members, and Employee of the Month winners who were all nominees for the 2022 Employee of the Year Award. UMB President Bruce E. Jarrell, MD, FACS, noted that the staff members honored at this gathering “are the ones who make this place go.”
