Service Awards
The University of Houston-Clear Lake's Service Awards Program recognizes the importance
of the contributions of loyal and committed staff to the continuing success of the
university. Recognition is based on length of service.
We recognize employees who have reached each of these increasingly impressive milestones
with 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 years of service with the university. Additionally,
we are recognizing UH-Clear Lake's newest retirees whose service to the University
