COSA Shows Appreciation to VSU Staff
Valdosta State University's Council on Staff Affairs (COSA) will
host its eighth annual Staff Appreciation Day on Friday, October
13, from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on the mezzanine level of the P.E.
complex.
Unlike like last year's event this one will be held inside and
organizers say that it will provide "climate control" for the
picnic. This year's event will have a centennial theme and will
feature the slide show that was shown at the birthday party on the
front lawn.
The day will include a picnic, entertainment, and friendly
competition. There will be tables hosted by VSU departments, and
student organizations and door prizes that include a flat screen
TV/VCR combo.
In 1998, former Valdosta Mayor James Rainwater proclaimed October 1
as Staff Appreciation Day at VSU. Since then, the university has
tried to celebrate the occasion annually, on a Friday, as close to
the proclaimed day as possible.
