At the heart of every student’s educational journey are the remarkable individuals who shape the minds of tomorrow: our talented faculty and staff. We believe in fostering an environment where passion meets expertise, creating an unparalleled experience for our students.

At the annual UAFS Faculty and Staff Appreciation Celebration, we publicly recognize these individuals for their invaluable contributions! This special event honors their years of dedicated service and positive impact on our institution.

During the celebration we take the time to recognize milestone achievements by distributing Years of Service Awards to those who have reached significant work anniversaries.

We also present awards to individuals selected by their colleagues for their outstanding contributions and commitment to excellence.
