Vanderbilt’s Employee Celebration 2009 begins Saturday, Sept. 5, with the annual Tailgate celebration before the Western Carolina game. A picnic on Library Lawn follows on Tuesday, Sept. 8.
The monthlong celebration honors Vanderbilt staff and faculty for their service.
Throughout the month, a variety of free special events will take place. “The planning committee has done an excellent job of creating a wide range of events that we believe will appeal in some way to everyone at Vanderbilt,” said Susie Lyons, manager, employee programs.
Among the highlights are the foodcentric Taste at Vandy on Sept. 30; the Service Recognition Celebration on Sept. 23; and a night at the Dyer Observatory on Sept. 22.
The following is a list of events for Employee Celebration Month 2009, with information that was available at press time. Some times, events and locations are subject to change, so check online for updates at www.vanderbilt.edu/employeecelebration.
