Purdue Veterinary Medicine faculty and staff were treated to a lunch delivered by Mitchell’s Taco Truck at Lynn Hall as a thank you for their extraordinary efforts to carry out the College of Veterinary Medicine’s missions of learning, discovery, and engagement. The event was held on Wednesday, August 18, outside of the main east entrance to Lynn Hall.
The college has hosted an appreciation event annually, but had to skip the function last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. By bringing the event back this year, the college provided a welcome reprieve for the staff and faculty, who were able to select from three different meal options served safely in individually packaged boxes. More than 250 college employees participated in the festivities. While waiting on their food, PVM faculty and staff members wore masks to safely mingle and catch up with colleagues.
Staff and faculty signed-in at the event before safely ordering and receiving the lunch of their choice from the Mitchell’s Taco Truck.
