Service Awards
The Service Awards program at Cal Poly Pomona began in 1975, although the idea was formed by Staff members as early as 1967. After many disappointments in the development of a program to honor staff employees, the Cal Poly Pomona Foundation, Inc., agreed to fund a program for both faculty and staff, and the first Service Award pins were presented at Fall Conference in 1975. Service Award pins have been awarded at each succeeding Fall Convocation and it has now become traditional to present the Service Award program as a part of Fall Convocation.
Gold pins in the design of the Cal Poly Pomona seal are awarded for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service. Top administrators and the University President participate in the awarding of the pins. Biographies of 30+ year recipients are requested and read at the ceremony. Gold pins in the design of the Cal Poly Pomona seal are awarded for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, and 40 years of service.
