UW Staff Senate Hosts Holiday Market Dec. 8

More than 50 vendors will sell a wide assortment of products at the University of Wyoming Holiday Market Friday, Dec. 8.

Staff Senate sponsors the market, which is open from 9 a.m.-4 p.m. in the UW Conference Center, located at 2221 E. Grand Ave. The event is free and open to the public.

UW President Ed Seidel has granted two hours of release time for UW employees to attend the market. The scheduling of release time should be a collaborative discussion between employee and supervisor to ensure the effective and efficient operation of the unit.

Local vendors will offer a variety of items for sale, including artisanal gifts and goodies -- perfect for holiday gifting, market organizers say.

Staff Senate will sell tickets for its fall meat raffle, valued at $150, and holiday cash 50/50 raffle. The proceeds will support staff scholarships, the Employee of the Quarter program and other staff activities. Tickets are $1 apiece or six for $5. They can be purchased at the holiday market or online at https://gopokes.formstack.com/forms/holidayraffle. Winners will be drawn Monday, Dec. 11.

Free parking will be available in the lot directly north of the UW Conference Center. Attendees also can use UW’s free shuttle service that will run from the Classroom Building and the Wyoming Union to the UW Conference Center. A bus route and schedule will be available later.
