Birthday Observances
Participating employees birthdays are celebrated. Prior to the beginning of each calendar year, the chair of the social committee develops and distributes via email a “Birthday schedule” for the upcoming year. This schedule shows the birth dates of all participating employees and the person responsible for:
- A birthday card signed by as many staff as possible.
- A birthday cake/birthday treats, normally shared with all staff in the office.
- An email to the office listserv announcing the birthday early that morning.
When birthdays fall on a holiday or weekend, it is customary to ask the birthday person if they’d like their birthday celebrated before or after the holiday or weekend.
Note: The Birthday Schedule is also published on the Office of the Registrar website.
