The 21st Annual Back to School Picnic will take place on Thursday, August 15 from 11:45 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. in TD Arena. Each year, the College hosts the picnic for faculty and staff members.
Before the event, the Physical Plant sets up 110 tables, 815 chairs, floor covering, recycling bins, trash cans, the stage, backdrops, the podium, and stanchions. Physical Plant also cleans it all up once the event is over.
During the program, which begins at approximately 12:15 p.m., a member of the Executive Team gives a few brief remarks and the Office of Human Resources recognizes those individuals with 10, 20, 30, and 40 years of service to the State. This year, there are two 40-year honorees.
RSVPs for this year’s event are required by August 8. ARAMARK serves roughly 750 employees within a 25-minute time period. RSVPs are used for planning purposes.
Physical Plant, Recycling, Custodial, Grounds, Athletics, ARAMARK, Human Resources, Audio Visual Event Support, Advertising and Brand Management, the President’s Office, Community Relations, and Institutional Events all help make the event a success.
