SPARK — Spreading Positivity, Appreciation, Recognition, and Kindness — UAA’s staff appreciation day is back and better than ever!

Join us for a science fair-themed celebration all about curiosity, connection, and discovery. Kick things off with a light breakfast and prize drawings, then head to the Wendy for trivia and a hypnotist! Throughout the day, explore hands-on breakout sessions ranging from mocktail making to rat training to an interactive blood-typing simulation, and more!

We’ll keep you fueled with a hearty lunch featuring a potato theory bar and a spark-tacular ice cream bar.

Don't miss out on the fun! Come curious and leave inspired. RSVP to secure your preferred sessions.
Faculty are more than welcome to attend if they are available!
