Sponsored by the Council on Staff Affairs (COSA), the day will include a cookout, entertainment, friendly competition, door prizes, and tables hosted by VSU departments, student organizations, and community businesses. This year’s agenda will add a special presentation of the colors at 12:15 p.m. by the university’s Air Force ROTC and the singing of the National Anthem intended to honor the military and its role in defending our freedoms. In 1998, former Valdosta Mayor James Rainwater proclaimed October 1 as Staff Appreciation Day at VSU. Since then, the university has tried to celebrate the occasion annually, on a Friday, as close to the proclaimed day as possible. Current Releases | Archived Releases for 2005
