The Bear Jamboree is a festive Learning, Development & Engagement networking event filled with networking opportunities, games, prizes and refreshments. Connect with colleagues you don’t always get to see or to make some new connections across campus. This event is intended to allow staff to unwind, warm up, and be in community together before the new semester is in full swing.
