Providence, R.I.--Four staff members who have provided 115 years of service to Providence College were recognized during a Service Recognition Program (SRP) Award Luncheon in July.

Sponsored by the Department of Human Resources, the luncheon was hosted by College President Rev. Brian J. Shanley, O.P. '80 and College Executive Vice President and Treasurer Rev. Kenneth R. Sicard, O.P. '78 & '82G in the President's Dining Hall in Alumni Hall.

The honorees were:

• Leslie Lanzieri, chief periodicals assistant in Phillips Memorial Library, 30 years;
• Thomas O'Brien, safety and security officer in the Office of Safety and Security, 30 years;
• Maureen F. Quinlan, associate dean of student conduct in the Office of Judicial Affairs, 25 years; and
• Denise Rose, senior office assistant in the Office of Financial Services, 30 years.

The luncheon program, which was attended by the honorees' divisional vice president and supervisor, opened with a blessing. Following lunch, remarks were offered by Kathleen M. Alvino, associate vice president for human resources. Father Shanley and Father Sicard then presented award certificates to each of the honorees.

In addition, the recipients received a gift certificate for the purchase of a variety of online merchandise.

The SRP was introduced at the College in 2003. The Award Luncheons are held to honor staff members with 25 or more years of service. In addition to the luncheon, the program recognizes staff members who celebrate 20- and 10-year service anniversaries. These individuals are honored with SRP certificates in private office ceremonies.

A total of 180 staff members have been honored since the SRP began.
