Background

Retiring employees or employees with 10 or more years of service may receive a retirement/recognition years of service certificate signed by the Dean of Extension. The supervisor will initiate the process.  

Instructions

1. The supervisor will email the Dean’s Executive Assistant Lisa Brennan (lisa.brennan@wisc.edu), the request for a retirement/recognition certificate.  If possible, please allow at least two weeks prior to the retirement/end date for processing.
2. Lisa will email the supervisor a retirement/recognition template to be completed and returned to her. If there is a retirement celebration event, please include in your email request the date along with the address for the physical mailing of the certificate.
3. Lisa will mail a framed retirement/recognition certificate signed by the Dean.
