S2 - E51 - Thanksgiving dinner on campus.community (Engagement)
In this episode, we explore an engagement initiative that we've implemented on our campus to ensure that college students who can’t travel home for Thanksgiving have a meaningful holiday experience. Whether they’re international students, out-of-state students, or those with work commitments, many find themselves far from family during this time of year. To address this, we partnered with local community members to host students for Thanksgiving dinner, fostering engagement and belonging.
Tune in to discover how this simple yet impactful idea can create unforgettable holiday memories and bring students and community members closer together.
