Employee Celebration

PLEASE NOTE: We continue to follow university and government health guidance recommendations to avoid large in-person gatherings.  We look forward to resuming  our in-person employee celebration and recognition events when these recommendations are lifted.

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!
