A big thank you to all who made our 2021 SIPS Holiday Party a success! Balancing the desire for a fun community event with COVID safety, the 2021 gathering featured a “chance auction” of donated items, a selection of desserts and beverages served by Cornell Catering, apples from Cornell Orchards, an outdoor photo booth, and propane heaters on the Ag Quad to facilitate mask-free gathering and conversation.

Particular thanks go to Tara Reed, Catalina Enright, and Ashlee Cherry who did the majority of planning and coordination, Craig Cramer for photo booth management, Cheryl Wunder and her custodial staff, and all the faculty and staff that helped with set up, crowd control, donations to the auction, and clean up.

Check your email from Chris Smart for a list of raffle winners and enjoy the photo booth photos posted in Box (2021 SIPS Holiday Photo Booth) A subset of these are shown below. In compliance with COVID-protocols in place at the time of the gathering, all attendees registered and masks were only removed while outside.
