2025/2026 Employee Appreciation Events

We are excited to announce a new approach to celebrating and appreciating you!

Based on feedback from faculty and staff, we are evolving our traditional Employee Appreciation Week into a series of appreciation events spread throughout the year. This new format offers more flexibility and greater opportunities for participation, making it easier for everyone to join the fun—no matter their schedule.

Thank you for everything you do to make KSU such a vibrant and supportive place to work. We can’t wait to celebrate you!

I enjoy Staff Appreciation Week and look forward to it every Spring. I really appreciate that Owlympics was held on the Marietta campus this year. It was great to spend time with my colleagues outside of the office. We had good food, great music and enjoyed our time away from our desks. I am looking forward to Staff Appreciation Week 2024! Thank you for appreciating KSU Staff!
