coe-staff: University Day, May 15th

[Lisa Fortin]

Hello,
Please join us on Thursday, May 15th on University Day to spruce up the grounds around our buildings, rain or shine. A free t-shirt and sandwich lunch (sandwiches and cookies) will be given to those who RSVP by  this Friday, May 2nd.

University Day is a campus-wide beautification event that takes place each spring. Hundreds of students, staff and faculty gather together to plant flowers, spread bark dust, dig weeds, and generally show that we care about campus. The tradition dates back to 1904 to prepare the university grounds for commencement ceremonies. Though University Day has evolved since then, it's a great way to have fun and work with other people from the COE outside of the office.  Some gardening tools and gloves will be supplied. If you have a favorite gardening tool, please feel free to bring your own.

We will offer 2 shifts to choose from, 10:30 am - noon and 1:00 pm - 2:30 pm.  Lunch will be noon - 1 pm.  RSVP Here.<https://oregon.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_6yhsrdE3AbIABKe>

RSVP here ONLY if you want to work around the COE! If you wish to work on another area of campus other than the COE, just go to the corner of 13th and University (the heart of campus) on Thursday, May 15th and they will assign you tasks and give you a shirt there.  No RSVP is necessary for that!

Volunteer assignments will be sent out the week of May 12.  Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Lisa
