Hosted in and around the demo kitchens in Patton Hall 120 on November 27 (Thanksgiving Eve), the event brought 160 people from across campus together for a full, traditional holiday feast. Complete, as they say, with trimmings.
Aba Wilson is a graduate student from Ghana studying exercise physiology, who attended the event for the first time this year.
“This is a really neat way to bring students together and to give international students a feel of what Thanksgiving is about,” she said, “which, I think, is basically sharing.”
Sharing, indeed. There were 210 reservations for the event this year for dine-in and to-go meals.
“Every year we add a little more,” Stevenson said. “Every year we get some more volunteers. Every year it kind of grows. Every year, we add more tables.”
