More than 200 members of the Einstein community turned out for the 2016 Staff Service Recognition Ceremony and Reception, held on November 29, 2016. The annual event, hosted by human resources in Lubin Dining Hall, recognized 124 staff members who celebrated milestone anniversaries at the College of Medicine this year.

Each was recognized during the ceremony and received a letter acknowledging their dedication to Einstein signed by Dr. Steven M. Safyer, president and CEO of Montefiore Medicine, and Dean Allen M. Spiegel. Of notable distinction, Lydia Boyce celebrated her 45th anniversary and Medina Byars and Dr. Edward R. Burns their 35th. Of his 35 years, Dr. Burns has served 15 as executive dean, the past 10 alongside Dean Spiegel.
In addition, three employees—Lars Ulrik Nordstroem, Anthony Leggiadro and Robert Thornton—were awarded the annual Safety Committee Awards, recognizing their efforts to maintain a safe workplace.
