Cartoons-Themed Traveling Treats
Anything but “Sketchy”

Kyra Worrell

This year’s Traveling Treats event was on May 16th and the theme this year was Cartoons! It was an opportunity for all of us to get out and meet colleagues from other departments within Financial Management, put the faces to the voices we may have talked to on the phone, and generally have fun! There were 8 different areas to visit, with some departments banding together to get the maximum amount of fun and games!

Here is a list of the departments and their chosen cartoons:

Financial Accounting/EIO—Muppets
GCA—Hanna Barbara
MAA/QI/DSC/Controller's Office—Dilbert
Payables, Travel, & Fin Services—Looney Tunes
Payroll—Mickey Mouse
Risk Management—Scooby Doo
Student Fiscal Services—Alice in Wonderland
Treasury Office—Investibles

The different departments all required that you work for your treats, whether it was playing trivia games or, in the case of Treasury, pairing up the mystery “Investible” Superhero with the corresponding staff member. Sometimes you could get by with your knowledge of cartoon trivia, other times it was necessary to know something about the office you were visiting! Many of us spent the afternoon journeying though many different lands of cartoons (there was something for everyone), learning (and eating!) along the way!
