Staff Council Co-chair Andrea Fernandes said the group decided to mix pumpkin flavor in with their usual order of 400 donuts from Atkins Farms Country Market. The move was a popular one, with all donuts disappearing by the end of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Co-chair Caroline Bertrand noted that attendance was much higher this year than in the past and praised council members\u2019 efforts to publicize the event. She noted that there had been a recent push to welcome staff members from a wider range of campus departments, which seems to have paid off. Staff in leadership positions were also particularly encouraged to attend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStaff comment on a regular basis that it makes a difference when they see leadership at events,\u201d said Bertrand. \u201cI think it humanizes staff in leadership positions if you see them out, having cider donuts and chit-chatting.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-179\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/staff-chronicle\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/1027\/2024\/12\/IMG_8037-edited-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A new flavor joined the party at the Staff Council\u2019s annual cider and donuts event, held this year in October on the lawn in front of Lily Hall.
