Chaminade faculty and staff gathered in early December to celebrate the end of the Fall Term as well as the holiday season.
The event kicked off with the Chaminade Christmas Parade where faculty and staff drove through campus showing off their creativity and holiday spirit with decorated carts and cars.
After the parade, dozens of faculty and staff were recognized by their colleagues and celebrated their years of service milestones.
Among those honored: Dr. Chitha Unni, professor of philosophy in the School of Humanities, Arts and Design, who has served at Chaminade for 55 years.
Steven Downey, audio/visual assistant in Client Services, was recognized for 35 years of service and will be retiring at the end of 2021 (we wish him a wonderful retirement).
And two members of the University ‘ohana are celebrating 25 years at Chaminade. Hector Mamaclay of Facilities and Evelyn Sanqui of the Business Office.
The end-of-the-year festivities are also a time for reflection – as faculty and staff members celebrate the accomplishments of the past year and look ahead to the next year.
