Hundreds of Emory staff took time to celebrate the conclusion of another academic year with Staff Fest 2021 on May 21. What was dubbed “a Variety Show like no other” had participants jumping into virtual games such as “Guess who?,” “Predict what Google would say” and “Don’t forget the lyrics” by typing into chat so quickly that their answers scrolled past in a blur.
Two highlights included live voting for Emory’s Favorite Pet and Emory’s Aspiring Talent.
More than 120 staff members submitted photos of their pets for consideration. Bracket-style voting during the week narrowed the field to Ollie (owned by Lou Ocasio, Office of the Registrar) and Cipro (owned by Natasha Hopkins, Campus Life).
