The LITS Holiday Party was held on December 20 and the rain and cold temperatures did not keep the revelers away.

Over 300 people attended the event, held in the Math and Science Atrium. Festivities included a DJ, trivia, and a prize raffle. This year also featured an excellent array of food, planned expertly by new LITS events manager Maya Cody.

CIO Rich Mendola delivered some kind words during the event. “I hope everyone is getting away to spend time with family and friends. Enjoy the season and accept my thanks, and that of the senior leadership team, for all that you have done this year to contribute to Emory’s mission.”

(L to R): Circe Tsui, Perry Eidson, Sharon Mason, and Jocelyn Ramirez.

Perry Eidson was perfect as Santa Claus. He posed for photos with various party goers and took down various Christmas wish lists. If you did not get what you wanted for Christmas, please see Perry.

The planning committee raffled several prizes including wine, beer, Echo dots, wireless headphones, and a Firestick. “The change in location was a big hit with everyone,” said Kim Comstock, LITS business manager. “People seemed to enjoy the opportunity to sit and talk with their fellow co-workers.”
