Millie Creighton’s 35 years of service at UBC recognized in Tempus Fugit Ceremony



Congratulations to Dr. Millie Creighton who was recently inducted into the Tempus Fugit (time flies) club at UBC after 35 years of service. The Tempus Fugit and Quarter Century Club Awards is an annual ceremony that recognizes UBC faculty with 35 and 25 years of service, respectively. New members are inducted at a special dinner held each fall.

The UBC Quarter Century Club was established in 1996 by President David Strangway to recognize active full-time faculty members and librarians with 25 years of service. In 2003, the club began recognizing active members who have reached the additional milestone of 35 years of service. This group is known collectively as Tempus Fugit, or “time flies.”

A full list of this year’s inductees can be found at the link below:
