CLAS Staff Council recognizes employees' longevity within the college on an annual basis based on the current fiscal year. Due to this, recognition may not align with your start date due to various factors including but not limited to: years of service in the college, transfer from another college to CLAS, or other classification changes (i.e., temporary employment to full-time). If you have questions about your longevity status as it pertains to CLAS, please reach out at clas-staff-council@uiowa.edu.
