CFAES Faculty and Staff,
This year, CFAES will be participating in Ohio State’s Faculty and Staff Appreciation Week (July 31 – August 6, 2023) over the course of a few weeks. We’ll focus on staff during the university’s designated week but, we’ll focus on faculty during the week of August 14 to ensure those with 9-month appointments can also take part.
In addition to the university presented activities (https://hr.osu.edu/awards-events/staff-appreciation-week/), we’ll be recognizing the dedication and outstanding contributions of members of our CFAES community. Below is a summary of what is currently planned, and more details can be found at https://go.osu.edu/cfaesfacultystaffappreciation.
·As a small token of our appreciation for your service and dedication to CFAES, you’ll be receiving an email from reward@virtualrewardcenter.com on August 15 containing a link for you to select a $5.00 gift card* of your choice to enjoy a coffee, snack or treat of your choosing.
·CFAES Colleague Kudos– Share your appreciation for your colleagues between July 24 and August 16 and we’ll amplify those kudos. While the university has a similar program in place, we’re aiming to lift your messages of appreciation by sharing broadly with our college. Please take three quick minutes to thank someone who may not know their work is appreciated!
·We’ll be sharing our faculty eminence and staff excellence, across multiple platforms.
Thank you for all that you do throughout the year!
Sincerely,
Dean Cathann Kress and Senior Associate Dean Tracy Kitchel
