Recognition
Hood has a variety of ways we recognize and appreciate employees and their contributions to the success of the College. Recognition helps an employee feel valued and helps build an inclusive, engaged workforce.
It can be as simple as a manager or peer saying thank you with a Hood Hood Hooray card, or it can be formal recognition at Campus Forum, an annual employee event that kick-starts each academic year. Make it a priority today to tell someone how much you appreciate them!
National Employee Appreciation Day
Hood understands it is important to recognize the work of employees and show our appreciation. Employee Appreciation Day is a national day of celebration that happens on the first Friday of March each year.
Years of Service
At our Campus Forum, we honor employees who have dedicated hours of combined years of service to our mission here at Hood College. Among these individuals are two who have served in their roles for 30 years each. Four others have worked at the College for 25 years each. Seven others have worked at the College for 20 years each. Very impressive! We would like to thank you for your time and service. Hood knows these individuals serve as role models for what we see at our strongest asset…our people and the contributions they make in the lives of our students and to our community and world around us.
We are honoring 30 recipients for a total of 460 combined years of service
