The first of three summertime concerts will help wrap up Staff Appreciation Week on Friday, June 22 at the University Honors Plaza with Sabor taking the stage at noon. Sabor features a variety of music including country, Spanish, old school and rock. The University Honors Plaza is located southeast of the SUB and south of the Student Health Center. As part of Staff Appreciation week, free ice cream will be provided.
The concerts, which were recently renamed the Greg Johnston Summer Concerts, in honor and recognition for Johnston’s work as founder of the concerts on behalf of the Work+Life committee. The concerts provide staff with a new and unique way to enjoy their lunch hour once each month during the summer.
Johnston, who worked in the University Communication and Marketing Department as a Sr. Communications Specialist, passed away earlier this year after a brief battle with cancer. The concerts are sponsored by the Office of Institutional Advancement and are supported by the UNM Staff Council and its Work+Life Committee.
Other concerts that are part of this summer’s series are slated for Friday, July 20 with Marty & Triple Shot featuring Geneva and also Friday, Aug. 17 with Jasper. Each concert begins at noon at the University Honors Plaza.
