WHAT TO KNOW

TEMPORARY ID BADGES

Staff must wear their ID badge at all times. If you do not have your ID for the day, see a supervisor for a temporary ID. We are all responsible for ensuring that safety remains a top priority for the residents and our employees, so please wear your Misericordia-issued ID while on campus and present it upon request when entering buildings. We appreciate your attention to these simple measures that can help keep us all safe.

This past Monday, residents from across campus had the opportunity to preview the works of art for this year's The Artist in All™ event. Residents attend the event through their Day Services programs. The event also hosted open hours for staff to walk through and view the works of art. This year's show will be another one for record book. The works of art are amazing! Thank you to our wonderfully talented resident artists who are supported by their equally talented art instructors.

The Artist in All event will take place at the Art Institute of Chicago tonight from 6-9pm. If you missed the Red Carpet and would like to see the artwork, please visit: https://AIA2023.givesmart.com.
