Children’s holiday party
“Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone – we find it with another. “
The University of Utah Faculty club hosts monthly social meetings usually on the first Friday of the month! We usually serve a buffet meal with a variety of interesting beverages.
Italian wine and cheese tasting
The Faculty Club is a group of individuals who meet on a monthly basis to mingle and share our experiences. Utah faculty from both the main and health sciences campus meet in casual comfortable surroundings to enjoy food, drink and camaraderie.
We meet on the first Friday of each month at 5:00 pm in the Marriott University Park Hotel in Research Park on Wakara Way.
Leave your worries behind; it’s Friday.
New Faculty, Experienced Faculty, Emeritus Faculty, join us!
Activities
Italian wine and cheese tasting.

December 2015
Children’s Holiday Party
This party was held at the John Moran Eye Center Auditorium. More than 60 children and parents attended the event. We all had our photos taken with Santa, while the balloon granny made hats, swords and animals from balloons. Jub Jub the clown performed magic, even conjuring a live dove from thin air! Delicious snacks added to the festivities. It was a great success.
Adults Dinner Party
We went “retro”, back to the faculty club roots at the University of Utah Union Building Crimson View. More than 50 members attended the party. There was a five course dinner followed by white elephant gift exchange. There are many regular members who attend this party and is a lot of fun.
January 2016
The Faculty Club started the New Year by hosting an Italian wine tasting party. We would like to thank Eleanor Divver for offering her home to the members to enjoy the wine and chocolates. More than 30 members tasted and voted for the best aroma, taste, flavor, depth— of the wine. Like always there was no correlation between quality of wine and the cost of the bottle: either we do not know how to evaluate a wine or the wine makers need more education! Our conclusion: “All wines should be tasted; some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle”.
Upcoming Events
We have the Faculty Club social meeting every month (usually first Friday or the month). We don’t have regular social meetings while the “School” is closed: January, May, June, July, August and December.
However, we usually have other enjoyable events on these months.
In May we have our boisterous end of year business meeting with full dinner and drinks
After our grand opening this spring, we will arrange a Cabin get together over the summer, with buffet lunch in our newly renovated Cabin in the mountains.
