The UCD VIA's format is currently being reviewed and refreshed ahead of a re-launch in Q1 of 2025.
Long Service Awards
Following a proposal from the Employee Engagement Network, the University initiated a long service recognition award in 2018 for employees who reach 10, 25 and 40 years of service to UCD. The criteria for these awards are as inclusive as possible and recognize and celebrate the employees contribution to UCD. The 10 year awards are presented locally at College/VP level. The 25 and 40 year awards are presented at an event hosted by the President.
