2024 CUIMC Holiday Tea & Gingerbread House Competition

Back by popular demand, the CUIMC Gingerbread House Competition made its triumphant return at the CUIMC Employee Appreciation Holiday Tea & Toy Drive. Faculty and staff enjoyed an afternoon tea-themed holiday atmosphere with assorted hot teas and pairings, each from a different corner of the world. More than 100 toys were donated to the toy drive, coordinated by the Office of Academic and Community Partnerships. 

Forty-seven teams made up of more than 250 employees entered their works of art in the gingerbread house competition. Competing houses were displayed during the event, and winners from each category were announced by Interim University President Katrina Armstrong and Interim Dean Jim McKiernan.
