SLU Employees Honored at Presidential Service Awards

--11/12/2024

A breakfast ceremony took place Thursday, Nov. 7, in the Wool Ballrooms at the Busch Student Center. At the ceremony, SLU saluted employees who have been at SLU for 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, and 45 years. 

SLU President Fred P. Pestello, Ph.D., honored for his 10 years of service, praised the group for their commitment and dedication to SLU. Pestello noted that the people in the room had combined for nearly 5,000 years of service to the University.

During the annual event, Fran Pestello, Ph.D., was also acknowledged for supporting the University for the past decade in numerous capacities, including as an adjunct professor of sociology and anthropology. 

The event also featured remarks from honorees Eric Anderson, assistant vice president of student wellness; Stephen Schmitt, interim executive director of the School of Medicine Grant Operations and Karla D. Scott, Ph.D., associate chair of communication. The three shared a common sentiment and praised SLU’s commitment to the Jesuit mission as a reason for their long tenure at the University.
