Dundee University staff to receive long-service awards

-

Hundreds of staff at Dundee University will join a long-service celebratio­n as part of the institutio­n’s 50th anniversar­y.

Around 200 staff who have worked at the university for 25 years or more, plus a select band of 20 who have served for more than 40 years, will receive a gift.

Among them will be the principal, Professor Sir Pete Downes, who is not only helping to present awards but receiving one himself, having worked in Dundee since 1989.

He said: “The shared experience and knowledge of people who have been here for over half the life of the university cannot be underestim­ated, and it is a significan­t factor in building the sense of community that is at the core of our strategy and direction.”
