President Judy Olian praised the hundreds of employees attending in-person and virtually for "making  the year a tremendous success."

"You are the reason that our students feel so cared for, that they grow and thrive at Quinnipiac," she said. "Despite the hard challenges of the last two years, you got us through it."

She said she is reminded every day of how lucky she is to be part of this family

"You’re the reason we got here, and today we celebrate you," Olian said. "The faculty and staff at Quinnipiac are the essence of the institution. You are Quinnipiac, and Quinnipiac is what it is because of you. I sensed it from the first day I joined the university – there’s a very special vibe here, a tremendous amount of pride.

She also shared some impressive stats about the employees the university honored:

• 48% of our employees have been at Quinnipiac for 10 years or more

• 13% have been at the university for more than 25 years

• 32 retirees were honored, with an average tenure of 22 years and a combined 716 years of dedicated service to the university
