EC delivers ice cream treats on campus
You scream. I scream. We all scream for ice cream!
Clark College Executive Council took turns wheeling the ice cream cart around campus to deliver free ice cream treats to all staff on Monday, July 10, as we kick off the first day of the summer term.
All the childhood favorites were represented: Popsicles, drumsticks, ice cream sandwiches, Fruit & Freeze bars, Toll House cookie ice cream sandwiches. For those who avoid dairy, like DJ Scates in the Office of Instruction, there were nondairy fruit-flavored Popsicles.
Despite cloudy skies, some raindrops, and cooler temperatures, staff emerged from their offices to enjoy a cold, sweet treat and to chat with colleagues.
Clark President Dr. Karin Edwards wrote to staff: “It was great to see so many of you today as Executive Cabinet made our way across campus, pushing an ice cream cart, sharing gratitude and sweet treats, and celebrating the start of a new term. We greeted Welding students, participants of Girls Inc., tutors, deans, staff, and faculty from various departments, and ended our tour at the Child and Family Center.”
A good time was had by all.
