G119\/155 due to inclement weather, the \u201cOut of this World\u201d themed event on Thursday, August 16, featured a host of creative decorations, including Flying Saucers (aka donuts), Missile Dogs (aka corn dogs), Astronaut Food (Dippin\u2019 Dots ice cream), Moon Rocks (aka popcorn), and Rocket Fuel (aka punch).<\/p>\n<p>Attendees were invited to write their zodiac signs and related personality characteristics on their name tags to share with their colleagues.\u00a0 Those who completed the assignment to list the signs and traits from ten of their colleagues earned an Astro Pop.\u00a0 Special thanks to Director of Alumni Relations and Special Events Susan Xioufaridou for developing the inter-galactic theme and coordinating the event, with the help of several Office of Engagement and Department of Veterinary Administration colleagues.\u00a0 And a big thank you to the fantastic group of dedicated PVM faculty and staff members who truly are Out of This World!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2255\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2255\"
