Fun Stuff Happening At the Office

Since we couldn’t choose between an event for March Madness or St. Patrick’s Day, we’re combining the two into a fun–filled afternoon with your Ecampus friends! 

Wear your favorite college basketball team’s colors and join us for a day of fun where we’ll fill out March Madness brackets for both men and women’s basketball, play an interactive “hoops” competition and enjoy some free refreshing beverages. 

Details:
1-3 p.m. (Drop in when you can!)
March 16
3rd floor staff room

FREE food:

Remember those delicious homemade marshmallows Amanda so graciously made in January? Well, she’s stepping it up this month and making festive GREEN marshmallows to add to our hot cocoa! 

We’ll also have popcorn and lemonade on hand for you to snack on.

Build your bracket:

Embark in a friendly competition with your Ecampus pals during March Madness 2016. We’ll provide the brackets – all you need to do is pick your teams. After our brackets are chosen, the multimedia developers will create a fun display on the wall near Summer Session where we can track our progress all month. 

Basketball competition:

If the brackets aren’t enough competition for you this March, take part in our special basketball activity during the event – “hoop” courtesy Rayne and her artistic efforts. Donations are welcome, but not required. Winner gets the grand prize of a nice pat on the back. 🙂

Aaaand lastly, keep your eye out for a watch party email – where we’ll get together to watch one of the March Madness games.

We hope to see you there!

Wondering what to do for your special someone this Valentine’s Day? We’ve got you covered! Get creative with your friends:

2-4 p.m.

Friday, February 12

3^rd floor staff room

$1 per cookie.

Surprise your valentine with a fun, heart-shaped cookie – decorated by their one and only, you!

No valentine? No problem. Decorate one for yourself, your friend, whomever!

Choose between a heart design or an Oregon-shaped cookie, courtesy of Nick Harper and his 3-D printing machine. (Pretty cool, huh?!)

We’ll provide the cookies, frosting, sprinkles and more – but please feel free to bring additional decorations to share.

 Not a fan of decorating cookies? That’s ok! Stop by anyways to mingle with your colleagues – discuss Valentine’s Day plans, update us on your child’s (puppies totally count) newest interests, etc. FSH@O is all about connections – and we just want to chat with you. Our goal is to encourage the social connections that normally wouldn’t happen during work hours, so, come join us!

We hope to see you there.

Beat the post holiday blues with a cup of hot cocoa or cider with your friends at Extended Campus.

Drop by the 3rd floor staff room any time on Friday, Jan. 15 between 1:00 – 3:00 p.m. Amanda will be serving up delicious hot chocolate (the real deal) and hot apple cider.

Bring your own mug, but we’ll have extras if you forget.

We’re all about connections. Our mission is to encourage the social connections that normally wouldn’t happen during work hours. The more we know about each other, the richer our work lives will be. Come by and share what you did over the holidays, your plans for the MLK weekend or your latest “new puppy” pictures. (Isn’t having a pet a requirement for working at Ecampus?)

The cost?

We are a self-supporting group and our members donate most of the goods, but we appreciate whatever you can contribute on a sliding scale of $1 or more (no change, please). BTW, hot cocoa is $3.05 downstairs at Java II and it’s not nearly as good as ours . . . just sayin’. If you’re on a strict post-holiday budget, come anyway. We really want to connect with you!

We are excited to announce we will be having an end of the year celebration on Tuesday, December 15th, in the 3rd floor staff room, from 11:30 am – 2:00 pm! You can drop-in at any time.

The end of the year celebration will be potluck style with enchilada trays from El Sol de Mexico as the main course, provided by the directors. Please sign up for your dish with this spreadsheet; there are a few items on the spreadsheet that are needed for the enchiladas. Because oven space is limited, we highly encourage the use of crockpots instead for warm food. We will have plenty of power strips for crockpots and the like!

Along with socializing and eating food, we will be having an optional Gift Swap Game starting at 12:30 pm. In order to save our pocket books, we ask you not to spend more than $10 on your gift. If you plan on participating, please make/purchase a gift that you think people would enjoy receiving. The game works best when all the gifts are wrapped in a box, bag, or envelope.

We hope you’re excited! Please post any questions you may have in the comments section, so we can answer them for everyone!
