The Department of Financial Management invites university staff to participate in the Making Your Day Work Carnival. This unique event not only showcases the various departments on campus that strive to improve the overall employee experience, but also showcases the diverse and outstanding university offerings that are often overlooked in the busyness of everyday life. It also helps increase employee awareness of services.
This event provides an opportunity for staff and faculty to connect directly with units that have previously only interacted virtually or by phone. It will feature a “Family Feud” style game show by Prime Minister Robinson, with the winner receiving a lunch from their department. Attendees can go to the registration table upon arrival to receive their wristbands and tickets, and pick up items at each booth. Light snacks and refreshments will be provided.
