As the first academic year of 91精选 President M. Christopher Brown II鈥檚 tenure came to a close, the president and his leadership team hosted an event to show appreciation to University staff. 

President Brown hosted all 91精选 staff at Hillcrest Manor for food, giveaways, games, music and more during Staff Appreciation.

鈥91精选 has an amazing group of facilities and support staff,鈥 President Brown said in a tweet. 鈥淭hey pitched tents, cleaned floors, answered phones, shoveled snow, assisted students and processed business affairs all year long. The leadership team and I were honored to serve them.鈥

Staff enjoyed hot dogs, hamburgers, and ribs with all the fixings. A shaved ice truck was on location for staff members to enjoy as well. Employees participated in some spirited games of Spades, volleyball, cornhole, dominoes, football and more.

Employees didn鈥檛 walk away without new 91精选 swag, either. Everyone received a t-shirt, 91精选 sunglasses, popcorn and a commemorative towel. Staff members were still feeling appreciated the next day, as well. Employees who wore their new staff appreciation shirt to Chick-Fil-A received a free combo.

With the beginning of a new fiscal and academic year on the horizon, it was an appropriate way to celebrate the hard work of 91精选 staff and the new leadership on the Hill.
