UT Space Institute Celebrates Employees’ Years of Service

The University of Tennessee Space Institute annually celebrates faculty and staff who have been employed with UTSI for five years or more with a Service Awards Celebration.  Due to the pandemic, the 2020 and 2021 ceremonies were canceled.  The UTSI family were so happy to celebrate this year and also recognized the Student Government Association, the Employee Relations Committee, new hires, retirees, graduates, and more.
