UNMC held its quarterly employee appreciation event on July 23, giving employees a break, as well as a break from the heat, by holding the festivities inside at the Center for Healthy Living.
The event – titled “Frankly, We Appreciate You!” – drew 337 attendees for a hot dog lunch, yard games, music and fun.
Paige Weil was among those who came out to the event, playing Connect 4 with her co-workers from the UNMC Department of Dermatology. Weil, the GME program coordinator for the department, joked that they’re a “food motivated department” and that they enjoyed the team building and the chance to hang out and relax in a fun setting over lunch.
Interim Chancellor H. Dele Davies, MD, went around to talk with people at the event, including this group from the UNMC High School Alliance.
Employees played yard games – cornhole, ladder toss and Connect 4 – and joined in line dancing.
And of course a summer event with “frankly” in the name offered hot dogs for lunch.
