Thanksgiving is a tradition that all Americans have come to love and enjoy. On Wednesday, Nov. 18, Campus Life hosted more than 150 international students, faculty, staff, and community members for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner.

This event is meant to unite our campus and community for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner, accompanied by friendly conversation.

Students from 30 different countries were in attendance and feasted on turkey, dressing, mashed potatoes, corn, and cranberry sauce.

The event began in 2003 and has continued to grow in size. The Office of Campus Life thanks everyone who came and participated and made this event a success!
