Every year, the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga honors staff and faculty with service awards recognizing employees for reaching milestones in five-year increments.<\/p>\n

This year, 207 faculty and staff are honored for reaching significant service totals, including two celebrating their 50th<\/sup>\u00a0anniversaries at UTC\u2014psychology professor Ralph Hood and Sue Stephens, senior administrative services assistant in facilities.<\/p>\n

In addition, four others reached the milestone of 40 years with UTC: Michael Bell, assistant dean of the library; longtime music department faculty Monte Coulter and Jocelyn Sanders; and Sandra Farris, who recently retired after having worked in multiple departments at UTC, including McKenzie Arena.<\/p>\n

Due to COVID-19 restrictions, the University was unable to host an in-person event as traditionally part of Founder\u2019s Week activities.<\/p>\n

These are the 2020 service award honorees:<\/p>\n
