Without quality faculty and staff, there would be no quality education. Thankfully, Dixie State University is committed to recruiting supreme faculty and staff. We value our Trailblazer family, and hold an annual Years of Service luncheon to recognize them for their commitment to our students.
With the help of the Events and Promotions staff, Human Resources hosts this event to honor the major milestones of 10, 20, and 30 years at the University, along with all the retirees.
“I love Dixie State University because all of us on campus have worked so hard to grow from a two-year college, to a four-year college, and finally to a university over the last 30 years,” David Zielke, a 30-year DSU librarian, said. “The University exceeded my career expectations a long time ago.”
At the luncheon, all members received awards for their service.
“Dixie State University is awesome,” said Jared Madsen, a 10-year Creative & Visual Services Production Director. “I love working here because the people are so fun and determined.”
