#DukeTimeOff Entries Show ‘Super’ Vacations
There’s still time to share photos as part of campaign that ends Aug. 12
It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s “Super Cam”!
Jenna El Hafez, a financial analyst with Duke Health Technology Solutions’ Corporate Finance Office, captured this image of her son, Cameron, doing his best impression of Superman. El Hafez, who’s teaching 3-year old Cameron to swim this summer, was on vacation with her son in Kill Devil Hills during her #DukeTimeOff moment.
“We had just taken his armbands off for the first time,” she said of the flotation devices. “No fear. He jumped straight into the pool as if he was free.”
The moment was part of an important ritual for El Hafez, who noted, “it’s important to ‘reset’ at least twice a year for a minimum of 10 days.”
For sharing her summer moment, El Hafez is the latest winner of a Duke beach chair as part of the #DukeTimeOff campaign. Until Aug. 12, faculty and staff can continue to share and post images of time away from the office on Twitter and Instagram using the #DukeTimeOff hashtag, on Working@Duke’s Facebook page or through this online submission form.
In the coming weeks, Working@Duke will award two grand prizes that include an overnight stay with breakfast at the Washington Duke Inn & Golf Club and lunch at the Washington Duke Inn’s Fairview Dining Room.
Below, Bruce Wimberley, a health center administrator with Duke Outpatient Neurology, shared a photo of his #DukeTimeOff of whitewater rafting for the first time along with his two daughters and their four cousins. The family shared the vacation fun along Upper Pigeon River near Pigeon Forge, Tenn.
“I focus on helping our patients and staff while sometimes giving my leftover time to my special daughters,” Wimberley said in his submission. “I am thankful to be working for a world class organization that appreciates and promotes me balancing life with work. Being a single dad makes these moments priceless to me.”
