We thank God for a refreshing ‘Staff Bhetghat’ (staff gathering) event that took place last week on 28-29 October. All UMN staff came together for a wonderful time of fellowship.

Some highlights of the event were: discussing and reflecting on UMN mission, vision and values, awards to staff, games, and enjoyable presentations from staff representing their countries or ethnic backgrounds. Twenty-five year service awards were presented to Ghanashyam Sharma, Pradhumna Dhakal, Dr. Olak Jirel and Dr. Steve and Becky Thorson.
