Mark your calendars and note the change of location, Washington State University’s annual All-Campus Picnic will be held the 11 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Friday, Aug. 18, at Mooberry Track.
The lunch includes hamburgers, hotdogs, salad, sandwiches, beverages, dessert and music, and is free to all students, faculty and staff.
The picnic was moved to Mooberry Track to make it more convenient for those arriving from the University Convocation, which begins at 10 a.m. in Beasley Coliseum.
Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association-College Retirement Equities Fund (TIAA-CREF) once again will be sponsoring the picnic for employees. TIAA-CREF is one of WSU’s major financial services providers — retirement, annuities, investment and insurance — for faculty and staff.
During the picnic, TIAA-CREF will be holding a random drawing to give away two iPod Shuffle digital music players. All WSU employees are eligible and can enter drawing by simply completing an entry form at the TIAA-CREF table. Complete rules will also be posted at the table. Winners will be contacted by WSU Benefit Services staff.
