Wooster Campus

Wooster Campus Staff Council hosted its annual FunFest on Friday, August 17. Employees came for the food, but stayed for the fun – including Bingo, guessing jars, corn hole, and put-put. More than 50 prizes – from gift cards to OSU apparel – were given out to game winners and by raffle. In spite of the rain (and unfortunate cancellation of the tug-of-war), over 280 employees attended the event. Thank you everyone who helped make the day a success and to all Wooster Campus employees who make this a great place to work!

The Wooster Campus Staff Council is looking for feedback on current programs and future ideas so that we can better serve our campus. The survey should take approximately 5 minutes and responses are anonymous. At the end of the survey, you will have the option to enter a drawing using your email address. The survey will remain open until April 20th, and after that date we will randomly select two winners to receive a $25 gift card.

If you have any questions, please contact Penny Nemitz.7 or Kayla Arnold.1065.

The 9^th Annual Wooster Campus Staff Council Chili Cook-Off was a success! A total of 148 people attended the event and voted for their favorites from 10 red chili and 2 white chili entries.  Mike and Roberta Franks were crowned the Red Chili Champions with Randy Nemitz making it into 2^nd place.  Mick Steiner won the White Chili category for the second year in a row, with Penny Nemitz as the runner up.  At the event, we collected 2 ½ boxes of non-perishable items and a total of $114 to donate to the Buck-I-Eat program! We also had left over chili, potatoes, crackers, and drinks that were donated to the Salvation Army.  Thanks to everyone who attended or assisted in any way to make this a great event! Please let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.

The 9th annual Wooster Campus Staff Council Chili Cook-off will be held on February 28th. We will be collecting donations of non-perishable food items and essential hygiene items (tooth brushes, deodorant, etc.) at the event which will benefit the Buck-I-Eat program for OSU Wooster Campus students. Monetary donations will also be accepted.

The 2018 Staff Council Annual Meeting was held on January 17th.  New members were introduced, and outgoing chair Martha Bollinger provided an overview of last year’s events.  Treasurer Michael Franks provided a report on Staff Council’s Books, and incoming Chair Penny Nemitz gave an overview of the coming events for 2018.  Guest Speakers Juliette Hanson and Seth Walker gave a very interesting presentation providing attendees a better understanding of the rigorous regulations that the PAAR facility and its projects must go through to come to fruition.
