Office of Engagement & Opportunity Events
Faculty Lunches
The Office of Engagement & Opportunity hosts quarterly Faculty Lunches for all faculty to network, build community, and enjoy activities with one another.
Peds Multicultural Food Fair
Every year, the Office of Engagement & Opportunity hosts the Peds Multicultural Food Fair to celebrate cultural diversity, food, and community. The event features food from a variety of countries and cultures. In 2024, we uplifted Peruvian, Filipino, Korean, Cajun, and Ethiopian cuisines to the department, and enjoyed the day with 250 faculty, staff, and trainees across the department. We look forward to hosting this event each fall!
Departmental Community Socials
The Office of Engagement & Opportunity hosts a variety of department socials originally through the ARISE (Act, Respond, Include, Sustain, Empower) Community Building Action Team. These events are open to faculty and staff in the department, and we have enjoyed boba, a book swap, a film screening, and jeopardy over Zoom. Our office plans on hosting more events to continue to build community within our department!
