With 3,000 Cups of Ice Cream Given Away, Employee Appreciation Week Was a Blast

University Human Resources hosted tours and ice cream socials to show how much NC State appreciates its employees.

Colleges, divisions and offices, including NC State Extension, organized outings and other activities for employees, too.

That’s how the Wolfpack celebrated Our Extraordinary Employee Appreciation Week, May 4-10.

“I get excited each year, seeing how the week has evolved,” said Stephanie Davis, assistant director of Learning and Organizational Development and one of the week’s organizers. “More people seem to be participating in and enjoying the week. Overall, it was another success and a great opportunity to thank employees for helping make NC State a great place.”

The numbers and photos below and the pictures featured on the Employee Appreciation Week website illustrate how much fun everyone had.
