Faculty and Staff Awards reward attendees with spectacular multi-media program

October 15, 2020

Master of Ceremonies and legendary radio personality Stan “The Man” Bell entertains guests at the 2020 Faculty and Staff Awards.

The Human Resources staff promised a multi-media extravaganza for this year’s Faculty and Staff Awards and they certainly delivered on their promise.

The annual celebration that recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of employees was held virtually for the first time July 24, 2020, and featured live and recorded tributes delivered via the unique LunchPool platform that allowed attendees to move from table to table to socialize. There was also a library of videos that participants could watch during the networking session. To top it all off, legendary Memphis radio personality Stan ‘The Man’ Bell emceed the event, entertaining guests live online with song requests and music trivia. Everyone had a blast virtually visiting with one another and grooving to Bell’s song selections.
