Flowers and Gifts in Recognition of Life Events

When the member of the College community experiences a significant life event, such as birth, illness, or death, please contact the Assistant to the President.

Please provide the following information:

  • Name of the individual
  • Relationship to the College
  • Nature of the event
  • Date of the event
  • Place of the event and any related arrangements (hospital or funeral home – name, address, and phone number)
  • Contact name, address, and phone number

All employee recognition is coordinated by the Assistant to the President under the following guidelines:

  • Upon death of an employee or his/her immediate family member (spouse, parent, sibling, child), the College will send a floral arrangement. In exceptional circumstances, a memorial contribution may be made with approval of the President.
  • For faculty and staff: the birth or adoption of a child, hospitalization, illness, or injury will be recognized with a floral arrangement.

Departments that wish to recognize these and other life events, such as birthdays or marriage, are expected to contribute personal funds toward any flowers or gifts. Supervisors that wish to provide holiday gifts to staff are also expected to contribute personal funds.
