Campus Cookout Appreciation is Oct. 5

Let’s celebrate what we’ve accomplished together! In appreciation of the hard work across our university community that helped drive strong retention and enrollment increase this fall, all faculty, staff and students are invited to the traditional campus cookout. The cookout is from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Monday, Oct. 5, in Faner Plaza — rain or shine.

Enjoy hamburgers, hot dogs, veggie burgers, ice cream and more, along with music. Stop by, grab lunch and celebrate the contributions that made this year’s success possible. Food is available while supplies last. No RSVP is required.
