Arkansas Tech University recognized staff members who are reaching milestones in their service to the institution in 2025 during an employee appreciation event at Chambers Cafeteria West Dining Room on Wednesday, March 5.

The 52 ATU employees who were honored during the reception have given a combined 610 years of service to Arkansas Tech.

The ATU Staff Senate also recognized the recipients of ATU’s top staff awards for 2025. They are Ryan Taylor (ATU employee of the year), Scott Tomlin (ATU service award) and Caroline Kitchens (ATU community service award).

Taylor is video production manager in the ATU marketing office. Tomlin serves as coordinator of the ATU Learning Center. Kitchens is ATU director of alumni relations.

The employee appreciation reception was hosted by the ATU Office of Human Resources.
