2022 holiday lunch 58

December 8th was the 2022 Wyant College Staff Appreciation and Holiday Lunch. Students, staff and faculty gathered outside the Meinel building to enjoy a delicious meal; listen to music; announce the staff employee of the year, honorable mention and 4th quarter peer-to-peer and spot awards. The Photonics made their grand debut. Band members included, Dean Tom Koch, Professor Bob Norwood, and David Gonzalez. Additionally, there was an exciting 50/50 raffle for the UArizona Campus Food Pantry, which raised over $400. And a number of surprise goodies were handed out to a few lucky winners!

Additionally, Hillary Mathis helped facilitate a friendly competition within the college, kindly supported by college leadership with some awards for the winners. Everyday a small elf named "Koshelf" made his way through the building to hide in a different location. In order to win a prize, the searcher had to locate Koshelf everyday and report back to Hillary. Three students were the winners and found him every single day! They included: Yuanyuan Sun, Walter Rahmer, and Thomas Ziccarelli.
