Fall Staff Appreciation Week Oct 30 - Nov 3

October 14, 2017

Dear Colleagues,

Staff appreciation can, and should, occur throughout the year - not just a week during the summer. To that end, we invite you to enjoy Fall Staff Appreciation Week, Oct 30 - Nov 3. Here’s what we have planned:

  • Monday 10/30: Appreciation Stations. Start off your week with free coffee courtesy of our campus partner Peet’s Coffee. Three stations will be setup at West Crescent, North Gate and Sather Gate. Plus, giveaways and surprises - it’s all happening that morning.

  • Tuesday 10/31: Cal Walks - Trek ’n’ Treat. It’s that one day a year where coming to work in costume is absolutely fine! Bring yourself, your co-workers, or your entire department for a fun walk around campus to burn off those candy calories (costumes optional!). Join us at the Campanile at 12:10p.

  • Thursday 11/2Faculty Lecture from world-renowned Dacher Keltner (Director of UC Berkeley’s Greater Good Science Center) who will speak on improving well-being, handling stress, showing gratitude and building resilience during these challenging timesSibley Auditorium 12 noon in person, or watch online (RSVP and streaming links to follow).

Something for everyone to rekindle your mind, body and spirit. We’ll be back in touch with more details prior to the week.

With appreciation for all that you do,

Jo
