UW-Madison will recognize second- and third-shift employees at a late-night appreciation event on Wednesday, May 14, from 10:30 p.m. – 12:30 a.m. in the Lake Mendota Room at Dejope Residence Hall.
This event will recognize the contributions of these essential employees who work behind the scenes to ensure operations run smoothly for those who study, conduct research, and work on campus during the day.
Guests will have time to enjoy a dinner buffet and socialize with colleagues. Free parking will be available in Lots 34, 37, 57, 58, and 59 from 9:30 p.m. to 1 a.m. Individuals with service permits or state vehicles can park across the street in the Lot 67 (Linden Garage). Attendees are encouraged to use Bus 80, which stops at Observatory by Dejope.
“This event acknowledges and honors the commitment of employees working to ensure our campus runs smoothly in support of our mission,” said Vice Chancellor of Finance and Administration Rob Cramer. “This is one of the ways UW-Madison can show its thanks for the outstanding work being done each day by second- and third-shift employees.”
Interpretation will be provided in Spanish, Hmong, Tibetan, Chinese, and Nepali. If you need other accommodations, please contact the Office of Finance and Administration at vcfa@vc.wisc.edu.
