In the final drawing this semester for a Starbucks gift card, employee Amy Wruck’s name was chosen randomly from among those who notified the Garaventa Center about making a personal human connection (or two, or three) in this oddest of semesters. Thanks to Amy and many others, well over a hundred Person to Person interactions kept the spirit of community alive and well even when most of our relationships were conducted in 2-D. We’re grateful to you all for helping us meet that goal of 100 personal links in the Fall semester!
Person to Person Program
Keep UP Person to Person Connections Alive and Well!
Over a dozen Person to Person connections have been noted in the first two weeks of outreach by the Garaventa Center, and it’s great to see those personal relationships that make UP a special place getting nourishment. The first two winners of Starbucks gift cards are Michele Leasor (Office of Undergraduate Scholarly Engagement) and Randy Hetherington (School of Education). Keep us posted on the connections you make (no details necessary). Just let us know that you made a personal connection with a UP colleague, by emailing eifler@up.edu.
Our goal is 100 encounters this semester. Everyone who reports making contact goes into the hopper for a gift card drawing each week, paid for through a gift from a donor who wants UP to stay strong in building human relationships, Person to Person.
