Employee Recognition Day Ice Cream Social

An invitation from Chancellor John Wiley to call UW-Madison employees:

“Every day, our campus relies on all of you to provide a host of functions in support of our institution. Whether you perform research-related duties, support to various academic departments, or ensure classrooms are properly maintained, each of you provides a service crucial for the university to meet its various goals.

One of the small ways we can recognize your efforts is to have our annual “Ice Cream Social.” This year’s social will be held on May 8, from 1:00-2:30, on Bascom Hill. This event coincides with the Governor’s declaration of May 7 as “Employee Recognition Day.”

I hope you can take a break from your busy schedule and stop by for some delicious Babcock ice cream. Many campus leaders will be personally funding this event, as well as rolling up their sleeves (literally) to serve employees.

We hope to see you May 8th!”
