Jim Lewis, Aaron Douglas Professor of Mathematics, and Richard Wahl, construction manager with Landscape Services, have given a combined century of time to the University of Nebraska–Lincoln.

Lewis and Wahl are among the longest-serving employees being recognized during the Celebration of Service on Nov. 18.

This year’s Celebration of Service is a hybrid event that will include an open house with a lunch for all employees from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Coliseum. Honored employees can pick up their service awards, and an all-star photography booth will be available. Access to the Coliseum will be through doors on the south side of the building. Parking for campus permit-holders will be available in the 14th and Avery garage.

Videos honoring award winners, along with the program “Milestones and Memories” by Rick Alloway, are available for viewing online.
