Vincent Shepherd – 30 years at Unitec!
Each month we recognise staff who have reached long service milestones. In this post we are celebrating our October long service milestones, as well as June – unfortunately our mid-year long service awardee post was missed (we blame COVID lockdowns!).
Please make sure you acknowledge all of these people, who have made a commitment to Unitec and the success of our students. Their mahi kotahitanga is truly valued.
