How the Employee Passport Works

 

 

 

Employee Passport—Spring 2023

You make our mission possible.

The employee passport program highlights featured events and feeds of ongoing opportunities to engage and connect with our campus community. Coordinate with coworkers to attend, go it alone and meet new faces, or bring your family and friends to campus. And share your experiences on social media. 

"The groundbreaking research and the teaching that shapes our world’s future truly would not be possible without each of you. We’ve highlighted a number of key moments that represent opportunities to participate in campus events and discourse that help define our university community. We look forward to joining you."

–Patrick O’Rourke, Chief Operating Officer
