This year, Rhodes University is celebrating the long-service milestones of 140 dedicated employees, who have a cumulative 2240 years between them.

Those who reached milestones of 20, 25, 30 and 35 years were honoured at a special ceremony this week, while those who have reached the 10 and 15 year marks will be celebrated by their respective departments.

Of the 2023 long-service awardees, 76% are support staff and 24% are academic staff.
