In appreciation of the hard work and dedication of S&T employees, Staff Council invites you to Fall Staff Appreciation Day 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Friday, Oct. 31, in the Innovation Lab. Enjoy fall-themed refreshments, enter the costume contest, win a raffle prize and play games.

This year, the tradition continues with a chili cook-off. If you want to put your recipe to the test, sign up online. Would you like to be a chili judge? For $3, you get to taste the entries and vote for your favorite. Pre-purchase your tasting bowl online.

There will be a chance to win raffle prizes. Pre-purchase your raffle tickets for $1 each or 6 tickets for $5. You can also earn tickets by bringing non-perishable food items to donate to the Miner Food Pantry. You’ll receive one raffle ticket per two items. Limit three tickets per person. If you purchase tickets online, show your receipt to staff at the raffle ticket table on Staff Day to get your tickets.
