10th Annual Spiders in the Know

Wednesday, May 14

8:30 - 10:30 a.m. | Camp Concert Hall, Modlin Center for the Arts

Spiders in the Know is an annual event designed to engage and inform staff members and celebrate shared accomplishments. As it has been in the past, this event will be a great opportunity to gather together to celebrate the conclusion of the academic year and hear from University leadership about University initiatives and updates.

Breakfast will be served in the Booth Lobby from 8:30 to 9:30 a.m., and the program will take place in Camp Concert Hall from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m. 

While we encourage all staff members to attend, we understand that some offices must remain open and functional during this time. If you are unable to attend in person and would like to view the program online, a livestream will be available.

The agenda is as follows:


8:30 to 9:30 a.m. — Informal breakfast gathering for staff and UR leadership (Booth Lobby, Modlin Center for the Arts)
