Take Action

  Staff Fest 2011 - Friday, May 13

Staff Fest is a special event for Emory University employees and administrators. On the first Friday after commencement we celebrate Staff Fest to show appreciation to staff members for the hard work and support they provide to the university.

The main event will be 1PM – 3PM on the Quad and we will be serving refreshments (popcorn, ice cream, frozen fruit bars, smoothies, assorted beverages and MORE) in lieu of a full lunch.

Emory’s leadership supports Staff Fest as a way to recognize staff for their contributions throughout the year. So, please plan on attending and participating in the Fun Run/Fun Walk in the morning, the Volleyball Tournament, Emory Information Central or just dancing as the DJ spins his records. It will be a fun opportunity to connect with friends and enjoy a spring afternoon on the Quad.
