From 2001-2019, the Physical Plant Department (PPD) hosted an annual “All Hands” meeting and banquet for its staff. This was an opportunity for all levels of staff to provide updates and give formal presentations to their peers. The annual tradition ended in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic along with organization leadership turnover. We have archived some of the past All Hands program presentations here.
