The Staff Holiday Celebration is one of UC San Diego’s signature staff appreciation events. Hosted by the Chancellor’s Office and the Staff Association, it celebrates the wonderful contributions of staff. Now more than ever, we acknowledge the importance of our staff and are busy planning an event that will celebrate their dedication, hard work, resilience, and success.
This year’s Holiday Celebration is going virtual and will take place over three days starting December 15 and ending December 17. Staff will have the opportunity to engage with each other in a virtual setting in exciting activities such as crafting, recipe exchange and cooking demo, and more.
December 15, 12-1pm
- Holiday Crafting Party: Led by Annika Nelson from UC San Diego’s Craft Center.
December 16, All Day
- Celebrate Staff Traditions: Staff are invited to learn how colleagues celebrate different cultural traditions during this time. We will feature staff stories and links to resources to help staff learn more about celebrations around the world.
- Tacky Sweater Day: An opportunity for department or group photo sessions will be available. We encourage you to wear a tacky sweater. Don’t be afraid to get really into it, consider; headbands, hats, glasses also!
December 17, 12-1pm
- Holiday Cooking: Chef Josie from Housing Dining Hospitality will present a special holiday cooking demo.
- Submit your favorite recipe to the Triton Staff Cookbook and your recipe may be featured during the event!
