Staff Fest 2009

Staff Fest is a special event for Emory University employees and administrators. On the first Friday after commencement we celebrate Staff Fest to show appreciation to staff members for the hard work and support they provide to the university.

This year's Staff Fest will take on a slightly different feel due to the current economic situation. The time of the main event has changed to 1PM – 3PM and we will be serving refreshments (popcorn, ice cream, frozen fruit bars and assorted beverages) in lieu of a full lunch.

Emory’s leadership supports Staff Fest as a way to recognize staff for their contributions throughout the year. So, please plan on attending and participating in the Fun Run/Fun Walk in the morning, the Volleyball Tournament, Emory Information Central or just dancing as the DJ spins his records. It will be a fun opportunity to connect with friends and enjoy a spring afternoon on the Quad.
