Virtual Employee Appreciation Week 2020 schedule

Don’t forget to register to attend events during the virtual Employee Appreciation Week, being held Monday, Sept. 21 through Friday, Sept. 25, 2020. All events are being hosted online and will be available on-demand after the scheduled session.

This year’s celebration will continue to celebrate and recognize our employees, as we would traditionally do during Employee Appreciation Day, and bring to you content that focuses on supporting you physically, mentally, professionally and financially.

All faculty and staff are invited to participate in any of the programming. You must register ahead of time for each session by clicking the “Register to attend” link. After completing the registration form, information about how to log in will be provided by email.

All sessions will be recorded and made available for future viewing, if you are unable to attend at the designated program time.

Each registrant will be entered to win prizes throughout the week.

Don’t forget, Employee Appreciation Week is also a great opportunity to send a special thank you to a colleague in your department, a team member who made your day, or a supervisor who continues to lead your team to success. Use the NEW recognition site to send a Making A Difference award or ecard today. The new site is easy to use and full of new features. It’s a quick, easy, and fun way to celebrate one another.
