Past Events
2012 Employee Appreciation Picnic
The SAC helped organize the 2012 picnic. Nearly 1000 staff and faculty enjoyed an African-style feast.
2012 Benefits Fair
SAC members had a great time staffing a table at the Benefits Fair on May 3.
Take Your Child to Work Day
The 2012 event was held on Thursday, April 26, in the Ritchie Center's Gottesfeld Room. Thanks to all who participated and to our great sponsors.
20th Annual Egg Hunt
The 20th Annual Egg Hunt took place on Saturday, April 7, in the Humanities Garden.
An estimated 500 DU staff, faculty and their families attended. Participants collected nearly 3,000 candy-filled eggs, while adults participated in a spirited dash for prizes donated by departments and area businesses.
It was a great way to bring together this part of the DU community for a fun celebration of spring.
Pioneers for People Coat Drive
Our annual coat drive was held January 30 - February 13, 2012. We asked the DU community to donate coats, hats, gloves, scarves and other cold-weather items, and you responded!
Forty-two full garbage bags of coats were donated to the Denver Rescue Mission to help its clients stay warm in the winter.
Thank you to all who donated!
Staff Holiday Happy Hour a Huge Success
More than 100 staff and faculty members attended the first First Annual Staff Holiday Happy Hour on December 8. The mixer was planned by the Staff Advisory Council Outreach Committee and sponsored by Liberty Mutual and Beans after Dark. Thanks to everyone who attended!
