Staff Fest, a time-honored Emory tradition, always occurs on the Friday after Commencement to celebrate the university’s staff for the success of the academic year. All staff are invited to kick back and have some fun with other Emory colleagues on Friday, May 21, from 1 p.m. until 3 p.m. Staff Fest 2021 (the 43rd annual event) promises to be a virtual event like no other, with a full slate of interactive and engaging activities. The first hour features the “Variety Show,” with staff playing games, competing for prizes and casting votes for the talent and favorite pet competition finalists. Fun Run/Fun Walk participants also will be featured.
