On Friday, March 13, 32 Department of Pathology staff and faculty received annual service awards to honor their years of hard worka and service to UAB and the Department of Pathology. The award honors employees who have committed five or more years of their careers to the University of Alabama at Birmingham. While the award ceremony itself was cancelled in light of a move to limited university business operations, these awards were sent to our deserving staff and faculty members who have completed the required years of service by Dec. 31 of the preceding year.
We appreciate each of these individual's outstanding work and continuous dedication to the University's mission and vision.
