Employees who have been around for a decade or more — including Cameron Roy, who hit the 35-year mark — were celebrated in person on May 11 at a dinner event at the Clarion Inn. For the first time, sessional instructors were included in the celebration. More than 50 sessional instructors who have taught at UFV for 10 years or more were recognized at the dinner, including agriculture instructor Jennifer Ryan, who has taught part time for UFV for 28 years.
