Employee Celebration

PLEASE NOTE: We are not yet able to announce dates for 2020/2021 Employee Celebrations, as they will very much be determined by the progression of the current public health crisis and the reopening process of our campus. When standards from the university, government and health officials have been created to indicate that planning for major events can take place a new date will be announced. Once a decision is made, it will be communicated to employees and updated on our website.

Employee celebrations are open to staff, faculty, retirees, and their families. These popular events feature athletic competitions, a Cornell community meal, and additional family-oriented activities. Employee Celebrations are held twice a year, in the fall and in the winter.

 

 

Thank You!

To all our staff, faculty, retirees, and families who joined in the fun, and to the many volunteers, sponsors and organizers who make it all possible!
