Kudos to Michael Smyth (Cellar), Cathy Smyth (Tyler's Grill), Devon Slough (Controller), Lyndsi Smith (Payroll), Liz Imsick (Concessions), and Mason Manley (Student Lead) for their help in Concessions with working the Spring Football game. When a last minute staffing issue occurred these Spiders rose up at the opportunity to help out and make another Spring Game successful! They know the meaning of teamwork and have excelled at their duties at the Spring Game. - Submitted by Rich Thomas in Concessions

Kudos to Matthew and his team, who helped our event to be an amazing success. The Political Science Pi Sigma Alpha event got rave reviews. The menu was so well received! The faculty and the students were so upbeat with the food taste and quality. One of our faculty said this was maybe our best menu ever. The room was set up perfectly for the event. The captain of the catering that day was so nice to work with and attentive to all the details that helped the event to be a success. The food was served beautifully! It looked and tasted great! I really appreciate you helping me to make sure that all our different dietary considerations were thought of. This ended up being an amazing event and well attended by our faculty and students. Your team and their hard work is appreciated! - Submitted by Susan Wolski in the Political Science Department

Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the Big Yard Sale in May! We almost tripled attendance from 2022 and the fundraiser was very successful. We were most excited about the amount of support from the UR community! We doubled, and then some, the UR Presale attendance from 2022. We didn't know what to expect, but we were heartened to see an amazing line up before the gates even opened on Friday night (from the entrance gate, down the length of the concourse, and then out to the road).Thank you to our longtime partners, Sierra Club Falls of the James Group, for throwing another great event. A HUGE thank you to Mauricio Lopez, Slavi Milev, Damyan Damyanov, James Campbell, Joseph Farag, Sayed Hussaini, Julio Valencia, Jonathan LaPrade, Rob Thomas, and Tina Lowman for physically moving all of the clothing, mini fridges, furniture, and more from around campus to the sale. To anyone whose name was left out, we are grateful to you too. There wouldn't have been a sale without these efforts! We look forward to bringing you another excellent event in 2024! - Submitted by David Donaldson in University Facilities/Custodial and Environmental Services/Rethink Waste
