Photo gallery A beautiful day to say thanks to employees
The weather was ideal on Tuesday, July 20, for the first of three UW–Madison employee appreciation events. About 800 people stopped by the Sunburst to Sunset Terrace Appreciation Day during the morning for coffee and a pastry. Even Bucky Badger made an appearance. From 2 p.m. to close, staff and faculty will get free popcorn (while supplies last) in Der Stiftskiller. The next two events are UW Movie Night at Camp Randall on July 27 and a Campus Ice Cream Social on Aug. 4. Details are here.

It was a welcome relief for many to talk with coworkers in person, not on a Zoom call.![People sitting at tables on the terrace.](https://news.wisc.edu/content/uploads/2021/07/20210720_H7A1058-1024x683.jpg)
