On Friday, April 12, Orchard faculty and staff, along with Board members and plus-ones, gathered at Ruth’s Chris to celebrate our incredible team and their years of service. Several honorees shared their personal stories, and the room was filled with both laughter and tears of appreciation.

Everyone who spoke landed on the same theme: Our Community and our students are the reason they’ve stayed for so many years.

A huge thank you to Jenna Hernandez for organizing such a thoughtful evening. If you see any of these awesome Owls around campus, be sure to thank them for all they do!
