Jelly Bean Guessing Game

A jar of gourmet jelly beans was up for the count of 1036 beans.  Debbie Mayo had the closest guess at 1052 beans!  That’s the way to do it!  Enjoy your candy!

Peer-to-Peer Recognition

Employees college-wide were recognized for their achievements, hard work, knowledge, and team work on the Employee Wall of Fame.  The Employee Wall of Fame will be proudly displayed during the traditional Public Service Week (May 6 – May 10th) in breezeway of the college’s pedestrian bridge.  Three completed bricks on the Employee Wall of Fame were randomly selected to receive a $25 gift card.  The recipients of the recognition award are:  Tara Nepper, Jim Poythress, and Kathy Holland.  Congratulations!

Virgina Employee Public Service Week Celebration – Today!

Every May, state agencies across Virginia will celebrate the hard work and dedication state employees provide to the Commonwealth of Virginia through a recognition event in honor of Virginia Employee Public Service Week.

Due to the operational challenges that Virginia Western faces during the traditional recognition period, the college will be celebrating Virginia Employee Public Service Week on Wednesday, April 17, 2013:

Virginia Employee Public Service Week Celebration

Natural Science Center

1:30 – 3:30 p.m.

Wednesday, April 17, 2013 

Ice cream will be provided by the Homestead Creamery truck just outside of the Natural Science Center.   Be sure to bring your employee badge and sign-in at that time to receive your treat! 

For your additional pleasure, an assortment of games will be available within the Natural Science Center! 

  • Cake Walk (4 times:  1:30, 2:00, 2:30, and 3:00) – play the game for your opportunity to win a yummy cake!
  • Jelly Bean Guessing Game   Be the employee to guess the closest amount of jelly beans in the jar and win the jar of candy!
  • Name that Baby  Identify your co-workers as children.  The employee that guesses the most correct responses is a genius and will have their name displayed as the winner adjacent to the Wall of Fame!  Do you want your baby picture displayed for this game?  Send it to Human Resources not later than April 12th – be sure to include a note with your name on it to identify yourself!
  • Corn Hole
  • Jinga (giant tumbling towers)

Employees will also have the opportunity to recognize a work-related accomplishment or noteworthy action of a co-worker on a paper brick wall for the college’s Wall of Fame.  The Wall of Fame will be displayed during the traditional Virginia Employee Public Service Week (TBA). Three (3) employees will be awarded a recognition gift based on the recognition action (brick) completed by your peer.

Thank you for making a difference! 

A special thank you is extended to Carlton Mabe and Tara Nepper for their contributions to this event, and also to the dedicated members of the Employee Recognition Committee!
