Andrew Whitehead with his daughter at Victory Field. The attendees enjoyed a pre-game picnic with their colleagues before attending the Friday evening game against the Iowa Cubs.
“My daughter and I had a wonderful time at the game,” said assistant professor of sociology Andrew Whitehead. “I enjoyed meeting and reconnecting with colleagues from across the university outside of the office. Usually, we are tied to our desks or limited to those in our building or on our floor. Events like these make space for us to get to know those we may never cross paths with in our day-to-day.”
IUPUC’s Aimee Zoeller and her son attended the Indianapolis Indians game. The opportunity to mingle with fellow faculty also offered the chance enjoy downtown Indianapolis with their family. IUPUC lecturer of sociology Aimee Zoeller brought her son as an added bonus.
“We had such a lovely evening, no matter the bees or light rain. It was wonderful to see friends and colleagues from the Indianapolis and Columbus campuses.”
