Campus Services staff members gathered for summer celebrations last week, with two events to accommodate different shifts: the Midday Bash on June 15 at 11 a.m. in Kaminski Park and Midnight Magic on June 16 at 10:30 p.m. at the Campus Services compound. There was plenty of food and fun, including games like cornhole, Jenga and musical chairs. And, yes, that’s Campus Services Vice President Robin Morey taking a turn in the dunk tank!
