Eighteen Arts and Sciences staff members recently celebrated milestone service anniversaries. Staff members were officially recognized in December at an employee service awards banquet.
Among those honored was lecture demonstration manager Ralph Gibson, who has worked in the physics and astronomy department for 50 years. Gibson came to Dartmouth as a graduate student in the 1970s to earn a master's in physics. "They offered me the job before I left, and I have loved every minute of it," he says. "It's such a wonderful place to work. People are friendly and happy."
Over the course of his 50 years at Dartmouth, Gibson has observed many changes, including the transition to coeducation and major campus renovations. "But the atmosphere and the friendliness," he says, "has not changed in 50 years."
