Feel the Teal turns 5!

The day was hot and so was the Feel the Teal Five-Year Anniversary Celebration. It was an afternoon full of energy, excitement and teal as far as the eye could see. The celebration took place at Atheneum Hall on June 19 from 2 to 4 p.m., and the employees of TEAL Nation were prepared for an exciting afternoon.



The Training Development and Service Excellence staff reported that they expected 100 employees to attend the event, but the final total was just shy of 250! The hard work and service excellence that our campus has provided for the past five years deserved to be celebrated and that certainly happened on the 19th. Here is a short recap of the event:

There were cheese fries and egg rolls from the Road Rooster and ice cold ice cream. There were over 100 prizes awarded to a long line of employees eager to test their aim at popping balloons with a dart. University photographers were on hand to capture the most teal-riffic pictures of both individuals and departments at the Feel the Teal Photo Booth.

One highlight of the event was the extremely popular Teal Trivia game, hosted by the one and only Steve Harrison. The winning team was up to the task. They knew their CCU trivia and were also quite the punsters, calling themselves the" Wheelwright All Day" team (we’re right all day). Congratulations to them on taking home Five-Year Anniversary shirts!

The afternoon wrapped up with a video designed to highlight Feel the Teal® over the years and the ways it has impacted CCU. President DeCenzo and Eileen Soisson were both presented with a framed and signed picture on behalf of all CCU employees. The president wrapped up the event by reminding employees that Feel the Teal doesn’t stop here: this is just the beginning!
