|
SOCORRO, N.M. December 21, 2010 – New Mexico Tech honored employees who have retired or reached milestones in their tenure with the university during a special banquet at Macey Center on Thursday, December 16. University President Dr. Daniel H. Lopez welcomed the honored guests, thanked them for their service and presented each person with a special gift.
Lopez said he especially appreciates that employees are faced with increasingly difficult situations -- with hiring freezes, wage freezes and increased cost of benefits. He said that he will continue to battle for increased state funding for universities during the 2011 legislative session. He also assured employees that he will champion efforts to find an equitable solution to the deficit in the Educational Retirement Board funding. The Human Resources Department organizes the event each winter to recognize the contributions and dedication of faculty and staff members. The gifts to employees were Nambe ware, each piece of increasing size based on the years of service.
