Celebrating Brown Employees

Brown University celebrates the dedication, talent and impact of its staff through a series of community-centered programs that recognize achievements, foster connection and support ongoing growth. Across campus, these opportunities bring colleagues together to honor milestones, build relationships and engage in meaningful professional and personal development throughout the year.

BEAR Day

Brown University is proud to celebrate the dedication, talent and impact of our staff members. Each year, we come together for BEAR Day to honor those reaching significant milestones and those selected for the University's Excellence Awards.

Bear Jamboree

The Bear Jamboree is a festive Learning, Development & Engagement event designed to bring staff together for connection, fun and community. Join colleagues from across campus for an afternoon of networking, games, prizes and refreshments. Whether you're reconnecting with familiar faces or meeting someone new, it's a great opportunity to unwind, recharge and build relationships.

Staff Development Day

A beloved Brown tradition, Staff Development Day (SDD) offers professional and personal development opportunities through on-campus and virtual programming for all staff.
