We’re a full year into dealing with Covid-19 and it’s clear how hard everyone has been working to do their best in the face of so many challenges and transitions. As a small token of appreciation, take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee or hot chocolate on President Hurley from the Tim Hortons on campus! We look forward to the days when we can all gather together again and celebrate as a community.
Faculty and staff should stop by the Human Resources Office in Old Main 100 or the President’s Office in Bagen 100 on any weekday between 8:30 – 4:30 p.m. to obtain a voucher for a medium-sized coffee or hot chocolate. Vouchers are valid to use on either Friday, March 5 or Monday, March 8.
