There are many important holidays throughout the year for our Clarkson Community that we acknowledge and celebrate. And this time of year is a special opportunity to celebrate. As the semester comes to a close and winter break approaches we want to send everyone off with a little extra seasonal cheer.
This year the Chief Inclusion Office with the cooperation of the Office of Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) will be hosting a contest for the best decorated work space at Clarkson.
If you don’t have a department office to decorate, but want to particiate, feel free to decorate your own cubicle or ask for other places to decorate around campus by contacting diversity@clarkson.
Fill out the form if you have a display to be judged. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScG_EvriCdGxsnNkyuZVqiATwPcQNziLh4GhUP7Cc8FX5Mdzg/viewform?usp=sf_link
Entries will win a Chamber of Commerce gift card
$200 Best overall
$100 Second
$75 Third
$50 Best Individual
Judging will be done during Finals Week. The winners will be announced at the Holiday Luncheon.
To qualify entries must represent multiple holidays in their display. Be on display from December 8, but we won’t tell if it goes up before! And they need to stay on display until January 7.
The display must follow the safety rules set by EHS. If you have questions, contact diversity@clarkson.edu for questions about representing holidays and cultures. For specific display questions, contact EHS earnold@clarkson.edu
To learn more about the many holidays that happen during this time please look at the Religion and Spirituality page https://www.clarkson.edu/religion-and-spirituality.
So whether you celebrate Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Yule, Soyal, Bodhi, Yalda, Pancha Ganapati, Gantan-sai, Festivus, or Newtonmas –just to name a few– we wish you the very best and hope you will join in the decorating.
If you see a holiday missing and would like it added to our page, please let us know at diversity@clarkson.edu.
