Ice Cream Social Offers Opportunity to Cool Down and Connect

Ice Cream Social 2024

CUIMC’s employee appreciation event brought hundreds of CUIMC employees and community members from Washington Heights to Haven Plaza for an ice cream social, organized by the CUIMC Events team. Nearly 6,000 frozen treats were distributed during the social, which offered an opportunity to cool down and connect during the rash of heat waves impacting New York City.

CUIMC leadership, including Chief Human Resources Officer Neil McClure, helped to distribute the frozen treats.

Several other CUIMC initiatives had information tables during the event, including CUIMC HR's Employee Resource Groups, the Office of Work/Life, and Velocity: Columbia’s Ride to End Cancer. As part of employee appreciation efforts coinciding with the ice cream social, Velocity is waiving registration fees when employees register through Thursday, July 25, with promo code ICECREAM24.

The event also featured live jazz music, lawn games, and giveaways.
