The UW Oshkosh length-of-service awards are based solely on the years of service toward the UW Oshkosh campus, including those with limited-term appointments. Therefore, any years of service on other UW System campuses or state agencies is not included in this recognition. Since the celebration is held in the spring of each year, the cut-off date for determining years of service is the end of the fiscal year, June 30. Questions should be directed to Tim Danielson at danielso@uwosh.edu.
