President Alan Cramb requests the pleasure of your company at the 2016 IIT/IITRI Faculty and Staff Holiday Party. Join co-workers and other members of the IIT/IITRI community to celebrate the holiday season on Tuesday, December 13 from 3:30-6:30 p.m. in Hermann Hall.

The holiday party will feature an assortment of food items, two free drink tickets, raffle prizes, and dancing. There will also be an “ugly sweater contest” with the winner receiving a $50 gift card. If you normally drive to work and plan to drink alcoholic beverages at the holiday party, the university strongly encourages that you make alternative travel arrangements home, such as using Uber or public transportation, or carpooling with someone who does not plan to drink.

This year the university is supporting the Louis L. Valentine Boys & Girls Club of Chicago to help provide a warm and wonderful holiday season for children. Please consider donating a new toy or a child’s winter hat, scarf, or gloves. Donation boxes will be set up at the party registration table. Please note that monetary donations cannot be accepted.

Every employee who sends an RSVP for the holiday party will receive a raffle ticket at the door. Individuals who bring a donation for the Boys & Girls Club will receive a second ticket. The drawing will take place at 5:15 p.m. You must be present to win.

Shuttle buses will be available to and from the party for Downtown Campus faculty and staff. The bus schedule will be posted in Illinois Tech Today closer to the date of the party.

If you are unable to get to Mies Campus from Moffett Campus or Rice Campus and need a ride, email qwl@iit.edu. Thanks go out to the Quality of Work Life Committee for organizing this annual event.

Please note that you must have either a faculty or staff ID card for admission; students and/or family members will not be admitted.
