About the Social Committee

The College of Education created a Staff Social Committee in the fall of 2000. Volunteers were recruited from each unit and department to present ideas to help staff to get to know other in the College and develop camaraderie. Some Committee activities include potlucks, monthly staff appreciation treats, and games with prizes. Philanthropic activities include partnerships with Concern for Women, and UIHC DeGowan Blood Center. To fund these events the Committee has held shirt sales, bake sales, sales of a College of Education Cook Book, and hosted book fairs.

Our Mission

The mission of The College of Education Staff Social Committee is to enhance the social environment for staff in our workplace.

We strive to fulfill this mission by providing activities and events   which focus on socialization, appreciation, recognition, wellness, and philanthropy.
