CSB, SJU and OSB employees honored for anniversaries, retirements

Want to hear an impressive number?

That would be 1,975, which is the combined years of service rendered by 124 College of Saint Benedict, Saint John’s University and Order of Saint Benedict employees that celebrated milestone anniversary dates in 2020.

That impressive figure does not count the 22 individuals who served the institutions before retiring this year.

Employees were noted for retirement and years of service (five, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40 and 45 years).
