December 2, 2014 – The King’s College Community recently recognized employees for their service to the College during an annual Patron’s Day Mass held on the Feast of Christ the King, the College’s patron.

Six members of the faculty and staff were each recognized with the Christi Regis Medal, which is presented to faculty and administrators completing 20 years of service to King’s.  The award has been awarded every year since it was established by the King’s College Board of Directors in 1966, the 20th anniversary of the College.  King’s College employees honored for 20 years of service were, pictured from left: Joan Coffin, Donna Dickinson, Rev.

Four members of King’s staff were honored with the Twenty Year Service Award.
