This year’s Multicultural Springfest, held on Thursday, May 26, celebrated the diversity of employees from across the university. The Celebrating Staff Careers portion of the program recognized staff who reached milestone anniversaries of 30, 35, 40 and 45 years in their careers on campus. Staff members enjoyed a picnic lunch, art and craft exhibits by talented colleagues and musical entertainment. University President John Hennessy was feted by Springfest organizers for his support of staff during his 16-year tenure.
