Eleven Public Safety employees who joined the Columbia University 25-Year Club were celebrated at an event on March 6 honoring faculty and staff across the University who marked their 25th year, and at a separate event on March 8 for the Facilities and Operations honorees.  The events recognized employees who celebrated their 25-year milestone anniversary in 2021, 2022 and 2023, with events the previous two years postponed due to the pandemic.  

Among the Public Safety inductees was Emile Anderson, who served the department as a Public Safety Officer and Sergeant before being promoted to Integrity Control/Quality Assurance Manager in 2022, responsible for ensuring that security officers and supervisors conduct themselves with professionalism and adhere to department and University policies.
