On Sunday, December 8th, the Department of Political Science held its annual holiday party at Palmer’s Restaurant, Bar, and Courtyard in San Marcos. More than 65 faculty, staff, graduate instructional assistants, and their families attended the event. Attendees enjoyed quality time together and delicious food. Children, alongside their parents, enjoyed a colorful cookie decorating table. It was a wonderful way to kick off the holiday season!
Retired faculty members Bill Stouffer and Ted Hindson, both former department chairs, joined in on the festivities.
Denise Bjerke, an administrative assistant in the department who organized the party, commented, “We, the department, love to be able to give faculty, staff, and our student employees an opportunity where they can be themselves and socialize in a fun and relaxed atmosphere. They have worked hard all year and really given 100%. This is a way we can say thank you.”
The Department of Political Science thanks all those who worked very hard to make the party a success, and it especially thanks Dr. Balanoff and the Hobby Center for their continued support of this annual event.
